What happens when new teachers walk into their first classrooms with the tools, funding, and confidence they need to succeed? Take a look inside a collaboration with our partner, The Change Reaction, and how we support first-year educators, where a $1,000 classroom grant means fewer worries about supplies and more focus on students.⁠ From 49th Street Elementary to Dolores Huerta and beyond, these new teachers share their excitement as they step into their roles and their hopes for the school year. With backing from The Change Reaction and Partnership for LA Schools, they’re not just starting a job; they’re empowered to give every child in their care a shot at a great education.⁠
