Important work here in CT to ensure all residents can engage in today's digital world for advancement, learning, and wellness. Great leadership, Lauren Thompson, and thanks to @zackquaintance at @govtechnews for covering the key issue of digital equity.
Teachers continue to say their work is rewarding, but challenges persist in supporting students. Read Pew's excellent, survey-driven report, "What’s It Like To Be a Teacher in America Today?"
