“In the past year, the nation has seen just how essential our teachers are,” said Dr. J.D. LaRock, President and CEO of NFTE. “During the pandemic, teachers have had to confront all of the problems of society at once. They ve had to teach the same content in half the time and do it while grappling with the very real issues of the digital divide.
