Stories

This month Sharif El-Mekki shares how we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, and how we must commit to making things better for our students.

The affirming support NTC mentors provide to fellows — encouraging them to embrace their identities as educators of color — allows them to authentically connect to young people in all their diversity.

Each month we sit down for a rich and meaningful conversation. NTC dives beneath the surface to learn more about ourselves, about others, and make deeper connections to things that really matter.

Each month one member of our incredible community will share inspiration in the form of books, documentaries, podcast episodes, poetry, art, keynotes, and more.

Each month, we connect with change-makers, thought leaders, practitioners, and artists to get their takes on three key questions. We’re excited to kick off this series with three of our Equity Commissioners: Karen Pittman, Anne Childers, and Dr. Dawn Brooks-DeCosta.
