“Progressive Education supports students as learners and citizens, and promotes diversity, equity, and justice in our schools and society.”

Colleagues, we know that even at a distance, you are continuing to do amazing work in this unbelievable moment of our lives. Few of us could have predicted the state of the world we are living in as spring moves across the country and the world. Many, if not most of us, are now facing an end of the school year without the familiar celebrations of and reflections on a year gone well; yet, because we are educators and progressive educators at that, all of us are doing the best we can to support our students. In spite of the sadness and uncertainty, we hope that you are finding moments of joy and connection with your students, and maybe even discovering new ways to do progressive education.

We’re thinking about you, feeling grateful for this network and hoping you are healthy. Stay well; thank you for staying connected to PEN!

On behalf of the PEN Board of Directors, Theresa Squires Collins
