"It's super hard to pass policy. It's almost impossible to do this. People work for decades to change something in law. And then it's even harder to make sure it's implemented correctly..." - Matt S. Listen to the new episode of amplifiED at https://lnkd.in/gU95psxH

We're thrilled to celebrate a big win at the PIE Network Summit alongside our partners at EdAllies and Educators for Excellence for our strategic defense of key accountability policies. 🙌 Congratulations to all of the winners who are making a real impact on education and a big thank you to PIE Network for their incredible work in connecting and strengthening education advocates across the country!

It's a brand new season of the amplifiED podcast and in this episode, we dive deep into the life of education legislation after it passes. We’ll discuss how well-intentioned investments in education can fall short, the challenges of ensuring that resources reach the students who need them most, and why policy advocacy doesn’t end with a signature on the dotted line. From universal meals to Come Teach in Minnesota grants to our Underrepresented Student Teacher grants, we tackle the pressing question: How can we ensure that education investments truly benefit our students?
