Annie Kessler - City Year New York and Student Success Coaches. This is episode 772 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Annie Kessler is a dedicated leader committed to advancing educational equity. She started her career in education as a City Year New York AmeriCorps Member, serving in a 5th grade classroom at PS48X in the South Bronx after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. Annie’s experiences as an AmeriCorps Member were transformative in her career journey and led her to become a Program Manager and then Director at City Year New York.

A little about … City Year New York:

City Year New York AmeriCorps members a.k.a Student Success Coaches (SSCs) serve full-time in 17 New York City public schools, reaching more than 7,000 students each day.  (They are basically an army of 20-somethings who come into community schools and serve as teacher helpers/caring adults.)

Our focus today is …. New York City will need to hire almost 4,000 more educators to meet new classroom size requirements.  Where will new teachers come from?

Awesome conversation!

Great focus!
