@Super_GGuerrero @LentPta @LentK8 Awesome!!!

Good paperwork: I received an unexpected package today: a set of letters written by Spanish DLI first graders at Lent ES sharing what they have been learning about lately: crocodiles, corn, & Ruby Bridges for example. Gracias Maestra Tamayo for sharing, I’ll be visiting soon!

@chris__maher @juscohen Thanks Chris! Getting the ‘real’ work done is what Justin’s book and our work is all about!!! The only way that happens sustainably is from the ground up!

If you’re a teacher, principal, school staff member, systems leader, or education policymaker interested in actually improving public schools, this book by @juscohen is a great read. If you’re a loud ideologue on Twitter, you can skip it (and unfollow me while you’re at it).

We can all improve. Even philanthropy!

So proud of my brother @PartnersSIDerek & @PartnersSI for their work transforming schools. Much more to come from them, I predict! cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

The vast majority of CA’s students will start school remotely this fall, but this cannot be a continuation of the inequitable distance learning of spring ’20. New brief lays out what CA leaders must do to ensure high-quality education for all students: edpolicyinca.org/publications/l…

Thank you to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (@GatesUS) for making possible our two new partnerships under the Networks for School Improvement (NSI) initiative. We are honored and thrilled to work with our new partners in Santa Clara County, CA and Philadelphia.

While our federal government supports big business and industry, I hope we will all advocate to ensure public education is equitably considered by Congress in this next stimulus package -we must demonstrate that we value our children and educators.

“My biggest obstacle is a culture of No. I have to build a culture of yes, and! That’s the only way we’re going to make lasting change.” LAUSD’s Jose Luis Navarro #Partneringforequity

LAUSD’s Allison Yoshimoto-Towery, was dead on when she noted that “opportunities for teachers to improve their craft needs to be an expectation of the entire school year, and not just 1 day at the beginning. “ #Partneringforequity

In the battle to ensure all kids deserve what they need to be successful, “Are u in or not?” #Partneringforequity compelling question from LA School Board Member Mónica Garcia!
