As humans, we need and want to explore and understand the world around us — to learn. That’s why we wrote The Elephant in the (Class)room. It reminds us that we’re all learners.

The Elephant trumpets that teaching and learning is a beautifully dynamic, relational human exchange. And that our humanity is the beating heart of our classrooms and every corner of the ecosystem we call “school.”

Today, we’re excited to share The Elephant in the (Class)room with you.

Let’s try to re-center our instructional stances in that place where our own joy and motivation to learn prevails.

This National Teacher Appreciation Week, we share our gratitude for the educators who lend a part of themselves, are champions of students at every stage of their lives, affirm the cultural backgrounds of young people, foster lasting relationships in the classroom, empower agency within students, and so much more. 

Each year, our annual report is an opportunity for us to share our accomplishments working in service to educators and students nationwide. And this year, we are highlighting some of the pre-work and post-work that goes into every successful partnership.
