One incredibly bright spot in today’s NAEP results is the real progress by students and teachers in DC. It takes hard work, deep partnership with students, parents and the community, bold leadership - and an unwavering belief in the potential of every child. @OSSEDC @TFADCRegion
Over time, DC has made major progress in closing gaps with public school students nationally across all four subject/grade assessments - including a 26 points gain on fourth grade reading #NAEPGainsDC
D.C. students are making great progress on standardized tests! “D.C. continues to make remarkable gains. The level of progress is really unprecedented, both in magnitude and for how long it has been sustained,” Hanseul Kang (New Mexico '04) #ProudtobeDMV washingtonpost.com/local/edu…

Great conversation convened by @TFADCRegion to discuss how to help our children thrive. Important perspectives from @DMEforDC @vppartners @HanseulKang @mensamaa @yesimsy
Our audience is now asking incredibly thoughtful questions of our panelists - from early childhood education to the role of D.C. parents, these are the conversations we need to be having! #ProudtobeDMV
Our panelists discuss teaching the whole child, beyond content, to improve student outcomes, and how to work together as a community to achieve that
