DEAR FRIENDS,
It has been a busy year. Teach Kentucky has evolved at an exciting
pace and we are eager to share our growth in this annual update.
This past summer, we welcomed our 14th cohort with 26 new
teachers to Louisville. They join over 125 veteran Teach Kentucky
educators still in our region. They are launching their education
careers in our local classrooms, many of them in our most
demanding schools.
To increase our organization’s impact we have initiated sweeping
Teach Kentucky 2.0 strategies. You can read more about them in
this update. They include:
• Building recruitment capacity to 40 new teachers in 2017
• Assembling $250,000 of scholarship funding from private and
public sources to attract new STEM educators
• Adding a critical teacher induction and support staff position
• Moving into professional office space
• Expanding and deepening our essential funding base
Collectively, these transformational moves will dramatically
increase our capacity to support local education.
None of this would be possible without your considerable
sustaining support. We are grateful to you, the many people,
foundations, and businesses that believe in our mission.
In closing, we want to acknowledge the work done by our staff
every day, the commitment of our board to our mission, and the
dedication of our teachers to excellence in education. Together
with you, we are working to improve education for all children.
With gratitude for your support,
Rowan Claypool
