Upstream
Upstream
Upstream is a conversation about new approaches, promising findings, and the people who make this work possible. In each episode, we bring together researchers and change-makers to talk about what’s working, what’s exciting, and where we go from here.
Collective learning powers our partnerships across Civic Engagement, Education, Arts & Culture, and Greenspaces. We know that we alone cannot solve the issues we are addressing, so we seek out evidence, expertise, and collaboration from others to help drive our work. Upstream puts those voices at the forefront, allowing you to hear how organizations and individuals around the region are making an impact.
Coming soon: Inside the push to build a stronger teacher pipeline
As Texas works to strengthen its teacher workforce, big questions are emerging about certification, preparation pathways, and what it takes to support teachers already in the classroom. In the next episode of Upstream, we’re bringing together research, policy, and on-the-ground experts to explore how HB 2 is shaping this moment and discuss new findings from the Learning Policy Institute(opens in new window).

- Susan Kemper Patrick, Senior Researcher II, Learning Policy Institute
- LaTonya Goffney, Superintendent, Aldine ISD
