Today was awesome. Emily and Jane had me check in with the teachers of some of the kids in their program. This is something they do regularly to track progress and decide if the kids need more time in the program or if they can graduate and create space for someone else in need.
I spoke with five teachers and they all said they saw noticeable improvement with the kids in the classroom. Not just that they were reading better, but that some of the kids that had been disruptive previously were now more studious. They were all more engaged in learning. It was amazing to hear. These are teachers struggling with overly large class sizes who are unable to devote extra time to the kids that need it, and hearing their relief at the fact that the kids are getting help - they were super uplifting conversations and I'd love to have more of them.
That does sound wonderful! Imagine getting to do that as part of your job?
