A Message from the National Center for Urban School Transformation

During this challenging time, it is important to acknowledge

• the health care workers who strive to keep all of us safe (and the educators who modeled for them an ethic of care);
• the scientists who work to identify solutions that will contain and eradicate COVID-19 (and the educators who instilled in them a love of scientific processes); and
• the policy makers who endeavor to protect public health and maintain our economic wellbeing (and the educators who taught them to grapple with hard problems and to value the perspectives of every stakeholder).  

In this wonderful nation, there are many impressive heroes, but often the last to be acknowledged are the educators who devote their time, heart, and energy to ensure that all of us are able to maximize our contributions to our families, our communities, and our world.

On behalf of the National Center for Urban School Transformation, thank you all!
