New Testimonials Added! Back-to-School Success Stories

ED Seal

Back to School Success Stories

NEW TESTIMONIALS ADDED

 

U.S Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and Assistant Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Frank Brogan continue to visit, both safely in-person and virtually, schools across the country to highlight success stories. Great teachers are continuing to meet new and unexpected challenges with innovation, creativity, and a focus on doing what's right for students and their families. While "COVID forced a pivot for both instructional environments and instructional delivery models," teachers are rethinking ways they can support their students, both inside their classrooms and at home. Great teachers' additional "dedication and consistent communication with [parents], brought some relief to the anxiety that this crisis has imposed on families worldwide."

While school officials, community members, teachers, and students remain committed to organizing around thoughtful and intentional approaches returning students to learning, we know "even the best-laid plans have unforeseen challenges," and when those challenges arise, schools are able to "[work] collaboratively…to combine county and school CARES Act funding in order to support the school's reopening plan."  The valiant efforts put forth from innovative teachers and school leaders, community partners and local champions, parents and guardians, allow for students to safely return to school "hungry to connect, to learn, to return to an activity that they might have considered dreadful in February but now recognize as a pathway to meaning."

We will continue to post new testimonials on this webpage to continue to provide resources to the field. Please consider sharing your testimonial: reopeningschool@ed.gov.

Respectfully,

Office of Communications and Outreach
U.S. Department of Education
