I hope to see many of you there! #LearnFwd2024

On this last day of Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to send a special thank you to all educators. Thank you for everything you do for our students! I also encourage you to consistently engage in your own learning so you can be your best for those you serve. @LearningForward

As we think about strengthening our practice as teachers or leaders, sometimes it's worth checking out how other countries engage in this important work. Here are some helpful resources from our friends down under.

Our volunteers last week were amazing! Thank you all!

I want to thank my friends from Learning Forward Florida (@LearningFwdFL) for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you today. I'm so proud of the work you all are doing to advance teaching and learning for each and every student and educator in Florida! @LearningForward

It was an honor to join you!

The recently released #NAEP results are concerning. An investment in effective professional learning offers us a clear way to respond. @LearningForward @NAEP_NCES learningforward.org/2022/09/02/tak…

Research supports the fact that aligning district and school practices to the Standards for Professional Learning leads to environments in which educators and students have equitable access to powerful learning. bit.ly/3BRdec2 @LearningForward
