Our Mission, Vision & Story
Our Mission
May Center for Learning empowers students with learning differences to be successful, confident learners who recognize the importance of communication, collaboration, and community. We accomplish this goal by focusing on four specific success attributes: Literacy, Empowerment, Advocacy, and Principles.
May Center is committed to developing the understanding of literacy and learning differences by providing consultation and professional development to educators in New Mexico.
OUR VISION & Story
To access and impact every student with learning differences in New Mexico.
Santa Fe educators Amy Miller and Karen Lindeen founded May Center for Learning in 2011 and welcomed our first class in 2012. Since then, we’ve grown into a statewide force for literacy:
700 students served through May School
350 students served through Summer LEAP
17,000 educators trained through our Teacher Institute
200,000 students reached through those educators
DIVERSITY STATEMENT
May Center for Learning is a diverse community that celebrates differences with a conviction that successful education develops basic principles such as respect and empathy. Through our programs and curriculum, we foster tolerance for differences in gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic group, religion and sexual orientation. We do not discriminate on the basis of these differences; in fact, we affirm that varying perspectives enrich the life of our educational community and the world around us.
