"Evaluating APS without referencing current data is like judging a business strategy before it’s had a chance to take effect. It’s not just unhelpful, it’s unfair." abqjournal.com/opinion/articl…

"Unfortunately, our education system is built not on systemic support, but rather on hopes and prayers. Parents hope their child gets a great teacher, pray their child is on grade level in reading and math..." santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…

Math scores predict future earnings better than reading, yet a quarter of fourth graders struggle. The solution? State policies that prioritize quality teacher prep, curricula, and instructional support. NCTQ provides the policy roadmap for math success. nctq.org/research-insig…

🛑 9 years at the bottom. 🎯 But we’re not stuck here. Mississippi used to rank near New Mexico in education. Now it’s 16th in the nation. Louisiana is climbing, too. They didn’t just hope for better, they built it. We can do the same. Let’s fight for the future our kids deserve.

Growth. Results. Change. At Nancy Lopez Elementary in Roswell, reading proficiency has nearly tripled since 2019. This is what’s possible when we commit to evidence-based literacy practices and work together for students. #ProgressIsPossibleNM

New Mexico’s education crisis is real. So is the path forward. Mississippi and Louisiana have climbed the rankings with smart policies and a strong commitment to students. We can do it too. Let’s give our students the future they deserve. #ProgressIsPossibleNM

Alabama jumped from dead last to 32nd in national math rankings by investing in quality curricula, PD, and coaches. NCTQ's report explores how smart state policies—like Alabama's Numeracy Act—can transform math ed. Which states will follow suit? nctq.org/research-insig…
