CT's Science of Reading Masterclass is strengthening how reading is taught in classrooms, helping educators apply evidence-based strategies that support student learning, according to a report conducted by the Center for Connecticut Education Research Collaboration. CCERC found that educators who participated in the Masterclass reported significant gains in their understanding of how children learn to read and to put those strategies into practice. Launched in 2022 with a $4.5M in ARP ESSER funds, the Science of Reading Masterclass is a statewide professional learning initiative developed by the CSDE in partnership with @capssct to build local capacity in evidence-based literacy instruction.

Yesterday, Commissioner @CharleneRTedu convened more than a dozen educators from across CT for the 2026 Commissioner's Teacher Roundtable in partnership with the Teacher of the Year Council. The conversation focused on supporting student learning, strengthening the teaching profession, and preparing for the future of teaching - including student engagement, school climate, educator leadership, mental health supports, and the evolving role of Al in education. Thank you to all the educators who shared thoughtful, solution-oriented perspectives and recommendations grounded in their experiences serving students across our state. Your partnership and leadership continue to help Connecticut strengthen teaching and learning for every learner.

Connecticut students continue to build momentum in attendance, with March marking the LOWEST CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATE for this point in the school year on record. At 17.2%, this is an improvement from 17.6% in Feb. and down significantly from 19.3% as of last March. This continued year-over-year progress reflects sustained, statewide efforts to keep students connected, engaged, and on track for success. Let’s finish the year strong! In school, together, every day!

No kid should sit in a classroom hungry❌ Today at John Wallace Middle School in Newington, I’m urging the CT General Assembly to include $12.5M in the state budget for free breakfast for every K-12 student — and free lunch for those who qualify. Let’s get this done.

Did you know? CT high school students are bringing STEM to life—taking on a global wildlife crisis having already achieved patent-pending status for their invention. Selected as 1 of 8 teams nationwide for MIT’s InvenTeams program, students from Berlin have developed real-world solutions to protect bat populations and combat White-Nose Syndrome. Last week, they presented their work to Commissioner @CharleneRTedu and the State Board of Education, which you can watch here: youtube.com/live/QHBza6G6T… As one Board member shared, their curiosity, perseverance, and ability to communicate complex ideas is “truly impressive," and a powerful example of how students are building real-world skills and exploring future career pathways through hands-on learning.
