Did you know? 41% of NYC public school students are Hispanic, yet they make up less than 10% of students admitted to the city's specialized high schools. At New York's elite high schools, there are clear ethnic and racial gaps in admissions. We know that every student deserves a quality education and targeted interventions in math and reading can help close these opportunity gaps.

Implementing a new reading curriculum across the nation's largest school system is no simple task, but NYC has come together for its students. Thank you Education Week for talking to leaders from Teaching Matters about how we're supporting teachers through the process. https://lnkd.in/gRi7_HHe

New Census data reveals that the poverty rate among children in America has increased and continues to disproportionately affect children of color. This leads to other issues, such as chronic absenteeism and access to food and healthcare, which often fall on already under-resourced schools to resolve. Teachers carry more weight on their shoulders now than ever before, and they need more support to help meet these demands. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gH5Nw665

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! We're continuing our series on Hispanic education leaders throughout history who paved the way for future generations. Sylvia Mendez was a civil rights activist whose role in the 1946 case Mendez v. Westminster resulted in the desegregation of public education in California. Arnulfo Trejo was a writer and Professor of Library Science at the University of Arizona, where he created the Graduate Library Institute for Spanish-speaking Americans to champion the training of other Hispanic people to be professional librarians. We applaud these influential Hispanic educators and continue to be inspired by them today.

An article from K-12 Dive reveals that in schools across most states, access to student performance data is very limited. Teaching Matters has long been outspoken on the need for more data transparency in education, including a public call for more visibility into the so-called "black box" of school curriculum data. https://lnkd.in/d8k5DbfN

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! This month, we celebrate Hispanic leaders in education who paved the way for future generations. Lauro Cavazos was the first Hispanic person to hold a position in the cabinet as the US Secretary of Education, and used his position to encourage Hispanic students to stay in school. Gloria Anzaldúa wrote essays about feminist theory that paved the way for more intersectionality and specifically advocated for the inclusion of Chicana women. We applaud these influential Hispanic educators and continue to be inspired by them today.
