About Us

The State of Education is a dynamic community resource dedicated to addressing the challenges facing our students, teachers and schools by providing a platform for solutions-based discussions with our entire community. We don’t expect this platform to solve all aspects of an issue to which many experts and practitioners have dedicated their careers, but we do hope that it provides a centralized hub to catalyze learning, spread best practices, and raise awareness to the voices of those most proximate to the issue. Through dialogue and collaboration we can co-create solutions that will improve the state of education in Nevada.

Our website is designed to provide and collect valuable insights into urgent issues that affect our students, teachers, and schools. This is a place where you can find data and testimony from teachers, administrators, students, and parents, to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges that are currently impacting education in Nevada. We invite you to go a step further, and add your own experience to the conversation by uploading experiences, findings and proposed solutions that relate to education. By establishing a diverse and shared understanding of these challenges and learning about proven best practices we can build a stronger Nevada together.

Teacher recruitment and retention was selected as our 2023 theme because it is currently one of the greatest challenges facing both our communities here in Nevada and the overall nation.  We depend on teachers to educate and prepare the next generation, yet we are falling short of preparing and supporting our teachers. We hope that this hub of information and resources will help you learn more about the current state of teacher recruitment and retention in Nevada.  If you have additional information to share we invite you to lend your insight and join the conversation
