"In the short run, it gives us a common language, it gives us a common playbook. But in the long run, we're all on the same page now about what we can study, what's working." It was a pleasure to see our CEO Lynette Guastaferro speak at the City & State Education in New York Summit alongside so many other leaders in education. Lynette spoke about innovations and accomplishments like NYC Reads, which Teaching Matters has championed as a professional learning partner. The more we work together, the more students will benefit.

It’s #BackToSchool season, and we’re revisiting topics that will continue to impact NYC schools this year. Up next: chronic absenteeism. Addressing chronic absenteeism is a team effort, and teachers shouldn’t have to tackle it alone. When schools take collective responsibility for chronically absent students, it makes a significant difference, according to Teaching Matters CEO Lynette Guastaferro and Network Director Jacobē Bell.
