Teachers Are Heroes!
This month, we kick-off our Heroes celebration of teachers working on the frontlines! Join us, as we share a series of thank yous to just some of the special teachers we work with across our regions. This year, we focus in on our School Support Center in Philadelphia, where we asked a few coaches the impossible task of picking one teacher to thank. We want to thank each and every educator we partner with in transforming early education and empowering children of color.
These six thank yous are only a glimpse into the many educators we work with around the country, and into the depth of the work our coaches and teachers do in Philadelphia, and beyond.
Each week, we will feature two stories from our coaches. You will get to watch them share their thank yous and read about the work they and teachers are doing in schools right now! And, to close the month-long celebration, we cannot wait to share a special video dedicated to ALL our teachers.
See All Our Hero Thank You Here!
