            <p>Many students come to school with few or no experiences outside of their own communities.
                Teachers quickly provide students with windows to the world so they can see things
                beyond their own personal experience. Mirrors are of equal importance to windows and
                often overlooked.
            </p>
            <p>TCU’s Maestro program is a new initiative to increase the number of highly qualified
                Latinx teachers in K-12 classrooms by supporting the efforts of young Latinx men to
                earn their bachelor’s degree and teaching credentials. It was born out of a need to
                create learning environments that better support students’ identities, providing the
                mirrors that can benefit the lives and learning outcomes of countless students.
