This is AmplifiEd, the EdAllies podcast.
At EdAllies, we partner with schools, families, and communities to ensure that all Minnesota students have access to a rigorous and engaging education. We advance policies that put underserved students first, remove barriers facing successful schools and programs, and foster an inclusive conversation about what’s possible for students.
In the AmplifiEd podcast, we dig into the issues of the day, the opportunities and challenges facing students, educators, and families, and the ways policy, advocacy, and collaboration can ensure better outcomes for us all.
As Minnesota students head back to school, the amplifiED team digs into what’s really at stake for kids and families this year. From the joy and nerves of the first day to the concerning issues of chronic absenteeism, flat MCA scores, and school safety, we unpack how policy decisions at the Capitol are shaping classrooms across the state. Tune in as Margaret, Josh, and Matt break down the latest on attendance, assessments, discipline, and looming budget cuts—plus what families and advocates can do to keep kids front and center in education.
