A full few days with powerful reminders of why this work matters. 🫶 Over the last couple of days, I had the joy of: ✅ Hearing what’s top of mind for state leaders at the Education Commission of the States #NationalForum in Salt Lake City. Highlight: Learning how New Mexico implemented high-impact tutoring with strong results and hearing from the inspiring 2024 National Teacher of the Year, Missy Testerman. ✅ Connecting with young people-the next generation of education leaders-at the The Peninsula College Fund Career Fair. Highlight: Listening to what’s actually working for them in their education. ✅ Leading a workshop with the incredible National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP) #GEARUP community on implementing high-impact tutoring at the high school level. Highlight: The passion and persistence this community brings. My overall takeaway: It’s tough out there these days…but the urgency, energy, and commitment to keep moving the #education sector forward are alive and well.
