Just as "ready to learn" focuses on young kids' deficits rather than on schools' responsibility to educate all who show up, so talk of "college/career readiness" ignores evidence that the problem isn't unqualified graduates but a scarcity of good jobs

State can fully fund ALL. No reason any school system should be reduced-& I will note again especially not those under-adequacy who are taxing to the maximum. To reduce schools during pandemic when they have not even re-examined the flawed formula is unconscionable. @GovMurphy

Had a wonderful New Jersey Network of Superintendents session this afternoon working with Dr. Michelle Knight-Manuel of Columbia University. Discussed culturally relevant education as a means to achieving equitable outcomes for all students. Got us all thinking deeply.

Enjoying tonight's discussion and couldn't agree more; we need to go on a "standards diet". Let's approach students with less is more and cut out the trivial. @MeganLabas @cford @RestartEDteam @ctemc

In all my time as a Sup I have witnessed structural impediment after structural impediment slow progress toward equality & work against students of color & poor students. One lesson I have learned is that you must fight against them tooth and nail on a daily basis. They spring

Since we are in “canceling mood” - let’s cancel ALL state testing for this year. This will allow our teachers and administrators who are already faced with a lot of uncertainties to focus on meeting the pressing needs of our students.
