At the Robin Hood Heroes Breakfast, Teaching Matters was honored to stand alongside remarkable New Yorkers whose stories illuminate what’s possible when educators are supported and students are seen. In this clip, Wendy shares her powerful journey — with her grandmother, Gloria, beaming with pride beside her — capturing the heart of our mission.
From the powerful stories that opened the program to the shared moments of pride and connection, the event underscored the importance of strong educators, supportive communities, and the lasting impact of meaningful learning experiences.
By partnering with Teaching Matters through Foundational Literacy Matters, Principal Wendy Poveda helped P.S. 132 dramatically boost student achievement and build a thriving culture of learning.
Teaching Matters’ success is based on Consistency and Relationships.
