Small Forces
When the state of Pennsylvania established an Algebra test as a graduation requirement, the math teachers at State College Area High School stepped up to design an innovative classroom for students who had historically struggled with math. With a focus on individual attention enabled by two math teachers in each classroom, the school saw its rate of passing increase significantly. Perhaps more importantly, students feel cared for, confident and empowered. Before the pandemic, our team spent a week with these dedicated and passionate teachers, and we are thrilled to share their story with you today. Teachers have always been heroes, and the challenges of the past several months have made that even clearer. We are honored to share this story that celebrates the hard work of very special teachers!
