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.

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.
