Our projects are chosen specifically to help empower the future of learning for Teach For America. We believe that no work should be wasted, so when a project is completed, instead of it ending, we compost it. Just like at your local community garden, we take make sure to take all parts that can be reused in a new project and apply those learning there.
School leaders, organizations and governments are sounding the alarm about chronically absent young people, typically defined as those who miss 10% or more of the school year whether due to excused or unexcused absences. Research has long demonstrated that chronic absenteeism is correlated with “increased rates of high school dropout, adverse health outcomes and poverty in adulthood, and an increased likelihood of interacting with the criminal justice system.” While chronic absenteeism has been rising nationwide before 2019, after COVID, rates as much as doubled in multiple states.
