MA voters, please vote YES on Q2. Since it was implemented in '03, the MCAS has disadvantaged students with learning & language differences & disabilities, forced teachers to teach to the test, & prevented too many students from being the competent learners that they are.

Dr. @Cohnvargas and Dr. @DebbieZacarian’s book provides research-based information and tangible tools on how teachers and schools can create identity-safe spaces and foster belongingness in the classroom. Read Dr. Harris’s review: https://ow.ly/klbb50TtAxg @TCPress @duqedu

Excited to see students getting on and off the school buses! It’s that special time of year where we are welcoming a great community of learners. Here’s to putting policies into practice that work successfully for all.

ASSETS, the podcast, turns the spotlight from those of us who were interviewed to a "Meet the Host" episode with Dr. Jobi Lawrence. A must-listen episode about the personal journey she took to pursue what became a stellar career in bilingual/ML education.
