W/A's @HillaryK13 spoke to @EdMarketBrief's @EmmaKateFittes about governors' K-12 agendas and what they mean for education companies. whitebd.co/496LOwD

Sitting in on a panel right now with Gov. Polis about supporting LGBTQ+ youth in schools in Colorado. Colorado has led the nation in both education policy and practice to support and protect LGBTQ+ students in and out of the classroom, according to the hosts Whiteboard Advisors.

Wow! Thank you to @GovofCO @AlisonRGriffin and these amazing panelists. CO is a bright spot in supporting #LGBTQ students and there is ample opportunity build on those successes as discussed by @DPSNewsNow @Kognito and @DCOnews! Could not be more proud 🏳️‍🌈

My incredible friend @HillaryK13, my fave governor @jaredpolis, & sharp panelists are dropping knowledge & grounded practices for supporting #lgbtq+ students in schools ⭐️

So excited for today's conversation that I'm back on twitter! Join me and @AlisonRGriffin today to hear from @GovofCO and our amazing panelists on supporting LGBTQ+ students! whitebd.co/LGBTQ_CO

Hearing directly from students is always enlightening! Today @SchwinnTeach hosted a roundtable at Chattanooga Arts & Sciences! Loved hearing them share about the importance of #liberalarts education & #socraticseminar so they can apply their knowledge. @TNedu @hamcoschools

Good morning! Don’t mind me, I’m just over here doing a quick early Saturday check of the national #FAFSA filing rates for #Classof2019. Now, where can I find Tennessee....

Excited to welcome @TNedu Commissioner Dr. Penny Schwinn to @KCS_DBHS today for a student roundtable! So pleased that she is taking time to hear directly from students on important issues. @SchwinnTeach

What an INCREDIBLE first two weeks! Twelve schools, over 40 classrooms, and countless stories that show why TN is making it happen for kids. Energized and excited about the work ahead. Humbled by the students I’ve met - you are very, very impressive!!

“Moving 10 miles up the road should not mean a radically different education for a kid. Every child deserves the very best education we can give them, no matter where they live.” Commissioner Schwinn

Commissioner Schwinn “As a student, I didn’t understand why there was an achievement gap. As an educator, it continues to frustrate me... what equity means... is what students are entitled to have.” @TNedu #TNEquityCoalition @ginipupo @ConexionEd #studentsfirst

Day 2 for Commissioner Schwinn and we’re in East TN to see incredible career-building programs, wonderful teaching in practice, and innovative student experiences! Thank you for welcoming us today @RMSortn in @ORSchools and @NWESJaguars in @ACSchoolTN @TNedu

This is how #TNSucceeds and will continue to succeed!

I have such admiration for each of these educators! I am lucky to have worked with them and even luckier to call them friends! Tennessee is made better because of teachers like you! @CathyHWhitehead @cicely_woodard @DerekVoiles @melissa11322 #TeachersofTN

.@McQueenCandice “We are not at the end. We still have to move to the top half of all states. We still have to stay focused on moving every single student forward... We will continue to press forward.... my caution is to not forget what got is here.” #TennesseeSucceeds

The @TN_ASD started as a way to address the vast need of TNs lowest performing schools. The bottom 5% of schools in TN grew faster than the state overall. TN is growing faster than the rest of the country. There is still a lot of work to do, but we are making progress!

.@McQueenCandice “I’m most proud of @TNedu accountability model under #ESSA. It is second to none. It’s focused on all students and what happens after graduation.” Good work team! #TennesseeSucceeds

Drum roll please - excited to hear from former Comm Kevin Huffman about Race to the Top and Comm @McQueenCandice on the #ESSA era of education! Tennessee is lucky to have had these two at helm. I’m tremendously thankful to have been a part of it! #TennesseeSucceeds

Tennessee students deserve to be prepared for post secondary training. @mikekrauseTN and Director Mike Winstead embody this vision for all students. #allmeansall @Driveto55
