The education of our children is multi-dimensional and extends well beyond the traditional didactic model of teaching. Educators and support professionals are essential allies within our children’s ecosystem. They are mentors, leaders, and partners in inspiring each child to learn and grow to their greatest abilities – becoming contributing members of society. Listen to three stories of Allyship across distinct communities from a panel of distinguished HGSE alumni. Graduates from this renowned destination for teaching excellence will share their own stories and insights of success in creating models for community engagement and allyship. We hope you will join us in allyship and celebration for the observance of National Teacher Appreciation Day on May 7th.

-Emilys Peña, Ed.M. '99, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment at Malden Public Schools (MA)
