Our commitment to creating opportunities that serve the public good has received some impressive national attention! The Red Hawks Rising Teacher Academy has been featured on #InnovatED, an online video series produced by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) and distributed via the USDOE’s social media platforms, including Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona’s accounts. Kudos to program co-directors Mayida Zaal and Danielle Epps.  Learn more about this latest recognition for our innovative partnership with Newark Public Schools and the American Federation of Teachers.
