Great meeting with our new charter school Palmetto Excel @palmettogoodwil. They are the first charter in SC to offer a HS diploma to adults over age 21. A population that represents +500k. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance to realize their dreams. We’re here to deliver!👩🎓👨🎓

Celebrating the multi-faceted heritage, history, and hope of Indigenous peoples.
Indigenous peoples are not the past.
They are living, powerful, and loving today.
Elders, children, activists, teachers, leaders, community, and so many among the missing.

While y’all out here equating masks with enslavement, how are the children reading in your neck of the woods?

So true! We all acknowledge that there are no silver bullets, but there are some really powerful combinations. A quality, coherent academic model is a key part of any combo. – at Memphis, TN

Rise up to support our #AAPI fam and those who lost loved ones to a hate crime. Here’s how to hold space about the violence in Atlanta with your students: bit.ly/3vAjuiO

Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.

Another critical line from CDC "K–12 schools should be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures in the community have been employed, and the first to reopen when they can do so safely."

This #BlackHistoryMonth we’re celebrating Network leaders working every day to drive change through policy and advocacy. @KaregaRausch of @qualitycharters shares how he approaches his work for equity #withcommunities. pie-network.org/article/cele…

A thread of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity

On this #ElectionDay, it is important to stress that politics is another word for power. To not do politics is to not do power. And what happens when we don’t do power? Fascism happens. Bigotry happens. Injustice happens. To engage in politics is to engage our power. 1/6

Our chiefs are working to ensure students have equitable access to learning that is challenging and relevant; to supportive people and services; and to the resources they need to achieve their extraordinary promise, lead fulfilling lives, and contribute to a better world. #BLM

Just so we're clear, white people, firing Aunt Jemima & giving us Juneteenth off are not the frontlines of defeating white supremacy & dismantling structural & instutional racism. Better schools, a just criminal justice system, access to healthcare was more what we were thinking.

This morning, the wisdom of James Baldwin. Our children—my children—are watching. And they are waiting. In education. In healthcare. In criminal justice. THEY ARE WAITING. xitter.cf/1KINDOFBLUE7/status/12…

This past week a superintendent told me that his district was ‘holding-the-line’ and not introducing any ‘new’ programs or strategies next school year. WHAT? Now is THE TIME for ‘NEW and DIFFERENT!’ Cut out what does not work and try something that does or might work. LEAD!
Elliot Smalley retweeted
During hard times like #COVID19, we need a strong leader. Someone who will show up and advocate for our students, teachers, school leaders & support staff.
We're looking for our next Superintendent. Could that person be you?
