This past Teacher Appreciation Week, Teach Plus teacher leaders had the opportunity to advise Education Secretary Miguel Cardona about reimagining the teacher role, bilingual education, and the achievements of our students. Thank you, Dr. Cardona, for intentionally listening to some of the brightest teachers in this nation and for leaving a message for the students of our Teach Plus teachers. Let’s do it again soon! #teacherappreciationweek #teachers #education #EducationPolicy

Teach Plus New Mexico recently held its third annual Innovation in Education summit. Read more about the event and accompanying report here: Students at Siembra Leadership High School in Albuquerque opened their own businesses while maintaining a focus on academics. At University High School in Roswell specially designated attendance coaches wrapped students in support to put them on track to graduate. These are just two examples of 10 New Mexico schools whose innovative practices Teach Plus is elevating at its third annual Innovation in Education summit. The schools are closing the opportunity gap for students by improving early literacy and math outcomes, meeting needs of underserved communities, and increasing the number of students who receive high school diplomas. An accompanying report, “Growing Outcomes Through Innovation: Cultivating New Mexico’s Student Success Statewide,” details each school’s innovations, results, and learnings, and lays out recommendations for policymakers to help replicate these practices across the state. https://lnkd.in/eR85V3WP
