Education Reform
In 2022, Think New Mexico released a new policy report laying out a sweeping ten point plan with 30 separate legislative recommendations to improve the performance of New Mexico’s public schools. You can download a copy of the report here, and learn more about our current education reform policy initiatives at the links below.
Think New Mexico’s education policy work is led by our Education Reform Director, Mandi Torrez, the 2020 New Mexico Teacher of the Year. Mandi focuses full-time on developing and advocating for data-driven state and local education policies that are in the best interests of New Mexico’s public school students. She also works to ensure that the voices of New Mexico students and their families are heard in the policymaking process. Read Mandi’s full bio on our staff page.
