"We are in the midst of a mental health crisis," writes Marlena Saucedo in her #TFAOpinion piece reflecting on student mental health. "And yet, less than 15% of children in low-income communities in need of mental health care actually receive services." teachforamerica.org/stories/why-sc…

AAPI communities are among the most socioeconomically diverse and ethnically heterogeneous in the U.S., but when it comes to K-12 data collected on students they often share one broad, amorphous label: Asian. teachforamerica.org/stories/studen…

Data consistently reveals that Asian-American students have the lowest rates of suspensions and expulsions. But educators have long said "the numbers don’t paint an accurate picture" of what many students are experiencing. via: @EdSource edsource.org/2019/schools-l…

Throwback to just last week when we celebrated teachers! Here in KC teachers celebrated with the @Royals and were surprised with a very generous donation. Here at TFAKC we think just one week of appreciating teachers is just not enough!

AAPI history is, unequivocally, American history. #APAHM2021 is a chance for students to learn about new stories and traditions in the classroom, and for educators to teach about the AAPI leaders who often remain missing from traditional history curriculum.
