nc to nyc to nola. founder @enrichedschools @youthrunnola. passionate about youth leadership, social impact and the power of education to change the world.
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! https://t.co/eMexyZ3b4I
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. https://t.co/2fRI6Vo98n
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.
A global network of freelance teacher specialists, working in their passion + expertise, with flexibility as well as expanded impact across multiple sites
Looking forward is energizing. And looking back, a great exercise in gratitude. From early days of @enrichedschools, grateful for @tvanderark’s thought leadership and inspiration on distributed workforce model in education and the #futureofwork. Remains part of the big vision!
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 🧡 https://t.co/fF3FXqa7OK
From our blog: "As schools unveil their #reopening plans for the fall, the need to address student and educator #mentalhealth and #wellbeing must take priority, even before concerns about getting students caught up academically." Read the full post: https://t.co/953qjtV1fm
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!
Huge gratitude and congratulations to all Enrichers who stepped in for students this tough school year, and a special hats off to our 2020-2021 Award Winners! We are so lucky to have you as part of our movement! #ittakesavillage 🧡🎉
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.
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?
📣 We are so excited to meet all the amazing people out there who want to step in for schools this summer and fall! Our application for the Kids Can’t Wait Summer Cohort is now open!! 🎉🎉🎉 #hiring#kidscantwait#ittakesavillage
