A Monthly Update from The Nellie Mae Education Foundation

Announcing Our Amplifying Youth Voice and Supporting Organizations Led by People of Color Grantees

As movements to combat systemic racism and anti-Blackness progress throughout the country, we have a moral and civic responsibility to foster a public education system that enables all of our young people to succeed and our communities to thrive. We are proud to support work that advances racial equity in service of an excellent and equitable public education during such an important moment for our society and to introduce our grantee partners who are leading these efforts.

Updates And Ideas

In this blog post around school reopening, Noe Medina talks about thinking creatively around where, when, and how learning happens.

In this post from Getting Smart: Preparing to Reopen: 6 Principles that Put Equity at Core, the authors argue that we must prepare in a way that is flexible enough to respond to an uncertain future under COVID-19, yet robust enough to ensure that students have an equal opportunity to succeed over the long term.

Our partners at Equity Institute have started a fabulous new blog focused on developing and implementing solutions for building more diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning and professional environments.
