We are so grateful to everyone who joined us last week to speak with local legislators and community members about the power of high-dosage tutoring, and how we can expand these benefits across our state. In New Haven alone, the Teach For America Ignite Fellowship and its tutors have provided 3,500 additional learning hours, benefiting 150 students. All of Connecticut’s children deserve access to this type of support.?Learn more about Ignite here: https://lnkd.in/gEhp43hS. “Being a part of this ignites a passion in you to be a part of change. Passion is what keeps you in the classroom supporting students through their educational journey. In coming back to Connecticut I will be able to pour back into a community that poured into me.” - Jewel M. Lucien (Ignite fellow and 2025 TFA corps member).

As we continue to review recent NAEP results and the broader implications for our state and country, we are even more committed to doubling educational milestones in 3rd grade reading and 8th grade math and making school a success story for every child. https://lnkd.in/eG7yWK-f
Today’s release of the Nation’s Report Card tells a story that is too familiar, but one that we cannot accept as the status quo: our education system has not evolved fast enough to meet the needs of this generation of students or to set them up with the learning, experiences, and skills they need to learn, lead, and thrive in the 21st century. The results from the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 4th- and 8th-grade math and reading assessments show that student learning continues to decline in reading and is not progressing enough in math to make up for pandemic learning losses. We’re not doing right by our kids and they deserve better. The good news is we know what works, and we need to invest in that now. When students read proficiently by 3rd grade and master certain math principles by 4th and 8th grades, they are more likely to graduate high school and to be prepared for college and careers, putting them on track to have agency and freedom in their lives, to fuel our economy, and to make their greatest contributions to their communities and country and strengthen our democracy. To get there we have to work together and invest in high-quality, evidence-based curricula and professional development for educators alongside high-dosage math and reading tutoring for students. We also have to embrace the idea that every child can be a reader and be good at math. And we need to leave room for innovation so that our education system can keep up with what students need from a 21st-century education. The potential is there, we just have to match it with investments and support for all students. In the 35 years since our founding, Teach For America’s “why” has remained consistent — to create a world where one day, all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. The stakes are too high for us not to unite around this simple belief and work with a shared commitment to kids and communities. Seventy-thousand people have joined our teacher corps and Ignite tutoring fellowship with this abiding belief. We look forward to continuing to recruit, train, and support the next generation of teachers and tutors and working alongside others, including our alumni – at the classroom and systems level – to ensure every child in every neighborhood can receive the education they deserve.

We're so proud to work with local partners to better serve Connecticut's families. Thank you to Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County for letting our staff, alumni, and corps members be a part of this special Build Day!
We are grateful to Teach For America Corps and Alumni members for volunteering with us for their #MLKDay of Service! Together, we’re continuing Dr. King’s vision of service and unity. Thank you for making a difference! ???? Sarah Diggs, Teach for America member, said, "In terms of thinking about what we were going to do for our projects this year, we landed on Habitat here in the Fairfield County area because we have Corps members working in schools in Bridgeport and we really recognize sort of the ecosystem of support that is needed for kids to succeed in life." #TeachForAmerica #HabitatForHumanity #MLKDay #DayOfService #BuildingCommunity
