Recently, members of the Boston Teacher Residency (BTR) community gathered for Educator Prom, a celebration organized by The Teachers’ Lounge that brought together educators from across Massachusetts. ✨
This photo captures BTR graduates across different cohorts and is a reflection of the lasting community, connection, and shared commitment that continue well beyond the residency year.
Thank you to our BTR educators for showing up for each other, for your students, and for the future of teaching in Boston. 💙

🎉 BPE turns 40, and our celebration continues as we honor the champions who have helped shape education in Boston and beyond.
Today, we are proud to recognize Saundra Coaxum as part of our 40th Birthday Bash. Saundra is a longtime educator and teacher leader whose career has been defined by commitment to students, mentorship, and continuous growth.
Before coming to Boston Public Schools in 2000, Saundra taught high school in California and Atlanta. As a BPS educator, she has served as a Collaborating Teacher for the Boston Teacher Residency program for more than 15 years, helping prepare and support the next generation of educators.
In addition to her work with Boston Teacher Residency, Saundra has mentored students from Boston College, Boston University, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She has also served as a BPS New Teacher Developer and a BTR Induction Coach, reflecting her deep investment in teacher growth and instructional excellence.
Saundra is currently a teacher leader at Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School. Although she has been teaching for 30 years, her curriculum and pedagogy continue to evolve, demonstrating her enduring passion for learning and for meeting the needs of students.
