The back-to-school season is a time to dream big, take stock of what’s needed to reach those dreams, and roll up our sleeves and get to work together. We've learned a lot over the last few years about the practices and interventions that accelerate learning--from high-impact tutoring to the science of reading--and the conditions that ensure teachers and students can thrive. We've got to super-charge our efforts by implementing and expanding those solutions.

Empowering rural communities through innovation and leadership! 🌟 This year, our Rural School Leadership Academy took place in New Mexico, where participants visited the Puye Cliff Dwellings outside of Santa Fe and toured the Kha’p’o Community School in Española. By connecting with peers across the U.S. and experiencing diverse rural schools, our local leaders gain fresh ideas to benefit their communities. This initiative is a game-changer for rural educators! #RuralLeadership #InnovationInEducation #RSLA #TFA
