New Schools for New Orleans

Last Thursday, we celebrated our Literacy Leaders Cohorts 1 and 2! 📚✨Together, we honored the commitment, growth, and leadership of these incredible educators and celebrated Cohort 1 as they completed the full two-year Literacy Leaders program.

Thank you to TNTP and Dr. Mitchell Brookins for their partnership, coaching, and support in this important work. Congratulations, Literacy Leaders! Your dedication is helping strengthen literacy instruction for students across New Orleans.

Our partners at alignED New Orleans are hosting their P.E.P. Prep 101 Summer Educator Cohort June 29-July 1, 2026.

Join us to shape the future of education in New Orleans! The summer program is a dynamic, immersive learning experience designed to provide participants with a well-rounded understanding of the education ecosystem in New Orleans. This special edition is designed with educators in mind, providing a space to explore the historical and current realities shaping our school system. Participants will examine its successes, address its challenges, and leave better equipped to advocate for a more just and equitable future.

This is a powerful reminder this Teacher Appreciation Week: great teachers don’t just come from anywhere. They grow right here in their communities. 🍎✨
