It MattersNationwide, students are experiencing a significant
interruption in their formal education due to COVID-19 and
resulting school closures. While educators and students alike have
many unprecedented challenges to overcome this upcoming school
year, educators report that their top concern is students falling
behind in math. This concern is heightened for educators in high
poverty districts who teach predominantly black or Latinx
students.Now more than ever we need talented, caring, and capable
people committed to supporting our students in their academic and
social development. Finding academic interventions that address
inequities that historically underserved students face is one of
our nation's most urgent challenges. Position Overview Saga
