Two Leaders, One Shared Vision ?? ?? When it comes to transforming education, it takes more than great ideas—it takes alignment and a shared vision. Monica Milligan, Executive Director of Gradient Learning, and Sandra Liu Huang, Head of Education at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), are working hand-in-hand to help educators support the whole student. ?? Monica’s story ?? ?? Monica’s passion for education started with a personal experience. As an immigrant and English language learner, she was once a student who felt unseen. ?? It wasn’t until a teacher recognized her potential that her life trajectory changed. This experience drives her commitment to making sure no student feels invisible. Sandra’s vision ?? ?? Sandra leads CZI’s efforts to ensure that every student receives an education that is tailored to their needs and that they have the skills and knowledge to reach their full potential. ?? Together with Monica, she’s ensuring that the Whole Student System delivers exactly what educators need—support for students’ academic and emotional growth. What unites them? ?? ?? Both leaders believe that building meaningful student-teacher relationships is key to student success. ?? Through their collaboration, CZI and Gradient Learning are helping educators across the country foster connections that unlock every student’s potential. ?? “Every student deserves at least one adult who sees them and believes in their journey.” Monica and Sandra are committed to making this belief a reality by ensuring educators have the tools to support the whole student, both academically and emotionally.
