Missy Testerman, 2024 Teach of the Year says “Learning takes place when the students have someone who believes in them.” She has designed
a curriculum that incorporates a study of Americans from diverse back- grounds which allows her students to better understand that people are more alike than different and that everyone belongs. All students deserve the best education our country can offer including good indoor air quality in the classroom — free of radioactive radon exposure — more teacher time for conferences with students and parents, and trained staff to assist with improving mental health and behavior issues of the students, as well as smaller class sizes to improve environments and learning outcomes.
An expansion of community schools that provide trauma-informed teaching and learning with services and support that fits each neighborhood’s needs lead by the people who know the students’ needs. To overcome the learning hurdles of the students such hunger, family stress, and poor health; solutions could be as simple as providing healthy meals, tutoring
and mentoring provisions, and
mental and physical health advisors and counselors.
A host of groups of people working together to build healthier communities and a better future for public education is referred to as community schools.
