Celebrating BMTN Teacher Accomplishments
The algebra teachers from New England at the center of our Networked Improvement Community are leaders on the front lines in classrooms. This is especially the case given the disruption COVID has brought to our schools. We appreciate all that these teachers have done to ensure their students are safe, secure, and well-educated. Please celebrate with us some of their additional accomplishments over the last year.
