Teach For America is growing the movement of teacher-leaders who work to ensure that kids growing up in poverty get an excellent education. Springfield Prep has a number of Teach for America corps members and alums on its staff, leadership team, and Advisory Council.
Building Excellent Schools (BES) identifies and prepares excellent leaders to transform education in their communities. From school founders and executive directors, to operations leaders, deans of students, and directors of curriculum and instruction, BES trains leaders to build schools, to ensure their schools excel, and to sustain their results over time. Springfield Prep’s Founder, Bill Spirer, was a Fellow with BES in 2012-13 and continues to work closely with the BES team.
Teach Western Mass—a new partnership of the Holyoke Public Schools, the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership, UP Education Network, and a number of area charter schools —is bolstering the efforts of our hard-working educators by attracting more colleagues who are committed to becoming partners in change. Here in Western Massachusetts, we’ve been working hard to improve our schools—but we need to do even more to ensure that all our students get the world-class education they deserve. Though Massachusetts leads the nation in overall student performance, too many students are not getting the level of education they're entitled to.
