My wife & I were blessed with two children – both graduated from NC public schools. My opponent for NC Superintendent of Public Instruction hasn’t worked or enrolled her kids in NC public schools. If you want to run our public schools, you should believe in them.

“I believe that the very soul of public education is on the ballot this November.” - Mo Green. An enlightening morning at our 2024 CEL as we delved into the future of education with the NCASA Candidates’ Forum featuring @MoGreenforNC & @rhondaschuhler moderating. Thank you both!

Would love an update on this little guy - who went viral in 2019 after being filmed in conversation with his attentive dad. My prediction: as a rising kindergartner, his language and literacy skills are off the charts.

It’s so exhausting how policy advocacy work in North Carolina is usually not even about fighting to make things better but more about fighting against policies that would make it worse. #nced #ncpol

Here’s your regular reminder that it’s possible to address recruitment and retention problems by simply giving teachers significant pay raises, even in states with Republican leadership. pbs.org/newshour/amp/educati… #nced #ncpol

With our current staffing crisis this is not the time for a highly experimental approach to teacher compensation. We already have so many people who are so ready to jump ship to the private sector. People need decent pay without the hoops. #nced

EdNC’s Consider It Mapped is back with a map of recent school performance grades that allows you to envision alternative approaches to grading by changing the growth score weight. ednc.org/consider-it-mapped-…
This is like a master class in bad public policy: craft a terrible pay plan in secret, scheme in publicly accessible communications about your disingenuous marketing approach, and alternately patronize and ignore those whose buy-in you need the most. #nced #ncpol

Please make sure everyone knows there are no step increases between year 15 and 24. In other words, there are no raises built in at all for 9 years. Then there are no raises after year 25. Way to thank teachers for their loyalty.
