I’m so looking forward to this convening and the opportunity to be in community with StriveTogether’s inspiring network.

No child should have to defy the odds to get a great education, but within our current system, schools in two new reports via The 74 demonstrate what’s possible with actionable data; high-quality PD & coaching; personalized support; & strong relationships. bit.ly/463SyKT

To make national service an attractive post-graduation option for young Americans, volunteer organizations such as AmeriCorps, Teach For America, the Peace Corps and the newly formed American Climate Corps should be well-funded and encouraged. wapo.st/3W2WOFT

55 years ago this week, the first man walked on the moon because our country united around a shared goal and reimagined what was possible. Today we need a #moonshot in education: to dream bigger, heed the research, innovate, and build a system with and for all students. #Apollo11

For more than 30 years, TFA has proudly partnered with AmeriCorps, helping us drive progress for students in communities across the country. Congress must increase funding for AmeriCorps so that every person who wants to serve has an opportunity to do so. #Stand4Service

Appreciate this call in Newsweek for Congress to support #NationalService and continue funding AmeriCorps. #AmeriCorps members strengthen communities and also develop their leadership by taking on our country’s biggest challenges. #StandforService bit.ly/3WHfEUp

This new NWEA Policy & Advocacy report underscores the need for all of us to get into action together, lean into evidence-backed interventions and practices like high-dose tutoring and the science of reading and math, and innovate to accelerate progress.

Can't wait to see this new center led by the incredible Kaya Henderson advance our country’s young people, their leadership, and their bold and beautiful ideas about what's possible for our future. A thrilling announcement from The Aspen Institute and Bezos Family Foundation. 🙌🏾

Thrilled to see fellow Teach For America alum Parisa Behzadi named Houston ISD Star Educator. Congratulations, and thank you for your inspiring work at Sylvan Rodriguez Elementary.

Teachers build strong relationships with students and can be a trusted adult to speak with when something doesn’t seem right. New resources for educators from Homeland Security @know2protect are an important step in empowering students to protect themselves against predators online.

Leaders like Nathan Martinez, who join Teach For America after having TFA teachers as students, are a powerful testament to our impact--supported by AmeriCorps & their Segal Award. Continued funding for #NationalService is critical for empowering future leaders.

Today marks 10 years since we lost journalist and Teach For America alum James Foley. His passion for life and pursuit of justice left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Grateful to TFA alum Daniel Brock Johnson (Phoenix '96) for this touching tribute. bit.ly/46UIIeA

In classrooms nationwide, over 900,000 K-12 students are being welcomed #BacktoSchoolwithAmeriCorps! AmeriCorps & AmeriCorps Seniors members provide vital support, resources, & tools for students & teachers across the country. #Stand4Service #AmeriCorps30 #AmeriCorpsinSchools

I’m so excited to be part of this dynamic group of #SXSWEDU featured speakers making an impact with and for students.

A great start to the day: speaking with @StevenRomo on NBC News NOW about how we all can support students and teachers this school year.

It was a pleasure to visit NBC News NOW and highlight the opportunities I see this school year and all that we’ve learned about how to best support students and teachers.
