During team mtg today we did a “show and tell” where staff got to show off their work and share new ideas to grow the movement. Feeling fired up, lucky to get to wake up every day and go to work for this mission alongside committed creative people who want to support students.🧡

“I'm not with them every day in the classroom, but yet somehow they still remember me.” Wonderful spotlight from @NSNO_NOLA. People like Neil serving behind the scenes to “make them worry less every day” don’t get enough praise and deserve it all! mailchi.mp/nsno/connecting-w…

Congrats to each of these 151 visionaries! @enrichedschools would not be here without @4pt0schools and the amazing community surrounding it. Can’t wait to see how you change the world for kids and families. medium.com/future-of-school/…

Love when an interviewee has a powerful personal “why” or student story for what brings them to our mission. Humbling to hear the multitude of ways people connect with the charge to #flipthesubscript. Passion + purpose combined with persistence + resourcefulness is unbeatable.

Met with 2 amazing school leaders in Dallas today. We are lucky to serve some of the most hardworking, selfless people out there working to provide a quality education for all kids. Communities rise together, and schools are such a central force in that tide.

Proud of the work my team @enrichedschools is doing to find good people who want to help students with our #kidscantwait cohort. And we’re hiring! Please take a look and join us in New Orleans or another incredible city. #ittakesavillage 🧡 bit.ly/GrowthDirectorEnriche…

From the bayou to the #bullcity (with Colombia 🇨🇴 adventures in between), you made it to this exciting next chapter in your journey @afischerman! Could not be more proud of this amazing human, leader and friend. @DukeFuqua get ready to have your socks knocked off 💙#fuquabound

Out there, on a basketball court, at a chess club, in a church choir, or somewhere else entirely...is our future president. And future Steve Jobs. Oprah Winfrey. Louis Armstrong. The future is ours to create. And our kids are watching.

Really enjoyed learning about the important work of @First72Plus and cofounder Calvin’s incredibly powerful story last night. 28 years in prison for crime he didn’t commit. Became self taught lawyer and part of inspiration for @InnocenceProjNO

So much fun celebrating our entire community @enrichedschools and kudos to the Impact Award winners. Thank you for your service to thousands of students!

CV has spurred important innovations in education. I imagine some of the most groundbreaking or needed are not making headlines or at pitch events…Toiling quietly out of the spotlight, heads down to do right by a founding set of users. They will change the game in the long-haul.

Over 700 people- veteran teachers, grad students, parents, mentors, artists, believers in children- stepped into classrooms this year on behalf of our mission @enrichedschools. Grateful for the chance to make an impact. Next year, our charge: 1500+ changemakers in it for kids.

This is very cool. My former students would have loved @B360Balt npr.org/2021/05/22/998606458…

So many inequities in our education system. What would happen if we started all over? Rebuilt with purpose of closing/reversing wealth gaps, access gaps, achievement gaps? Where might we start? Micro schools, parent power networks, community centers for coding, AI, trade skills?

“Bold moves in this space must happen”- Yes! thehill.com/opinion/educatio…

Can’t wait to meet these applicants who are answering the call and seeking to make an impact when it’s deeply needed!
