The Educator Diversity Act Guide was created to help districts in Massachusetts move from policy to practice and remain in compliance with state law.

Journey into Education and Teaching (JET) is one example of how organizations are helping aspiring educators overcome barriers, complete certification requirements, and bring their experience back into the classroom.

Eighteen years ago, our CEO and Founder, Amanda Fernandez, held her daughter in her arms for the first time. This month, she watched her walk across a stage and receive her high school diploma.

That milestone led her to reflect on something unexpected: how much motherhood has taught her about leadership.

In the latest edition of Rompiendo Barreras, Amanda reflects on leadership, letting go, and why some of the most meaningful impact can never be fully captured by metrics. https://hubs.la/Q04kcdCy0
