Happy Native American Heritage Month! We owe many of our education milestones to Native Americans—from mathematical principles to governmental models. While we're grateful all year round, we put a special emphasis on celebrating these contributions and the culture and heritage of Native Americans during the month of November.


You have a lot on your plate, and each month this newsletter aims to deliver the most important insights and updates to support you as you shape the minds of future generations.

Spotlight

Maddy Mandon

KIPP Central City Primary, New Orleans

“Maddy is a spotlight Amplify teacher because of her passion, creativity, and flexibility last school year. She was teaching Amplify Science both in person AND virtually since the very beginning of the school year and never fails to make science come to life for her students. Whether asking them to make connections to things they see in their daily lives or having them model plate tectonics on Zoom using materials they found around their houses, she lives for making science fun, engaging, and dynamic.” 

—Emily McGrath, regional science coach

We want to spotlight you next!

Each featured educator will receive a special gift from us.
