This
past week Katie Gribben, Cambridgeport’s 7/8 ELA teacher, was invited
to DC to meet with federal policy staff working on education
legislation. Katie also attended the Town Hall with Secretary of
Education, Arne Duncan, on February 15th.
Duncan articulated his vision for the next phase of education
initiatives and responded to questions from a small group of invited
teachers. Katie was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal and quoted in
an article about the event. Katie was invited to DC as part of her
work as a Teach Plus Teaching Policy Fellow. Katie has been a Policy
Fellow since September and will continue this fellowship through the
next school year.
Teach Plus is a national non-profit dedicated to improving outcomes
for urban students, and their Policy Fellowship is a highly selective
program for “second stage” (years 3-10) teachers. As a Fellow, Katie
works on policy issues at the local, state and national level. We are
proud to have Cambridgeport represented in a national forum.
