I haven't been on twitter in a while, but glad to see @Dale_Chu's write-up on the new IADA RFI. A great summary and couldn't agree more with his hope that USED is ready to create a more viable pathway for assessment innovation. #edpolicy

Every school superintendent in Virginia is united against the Governor's plan to rescind equity and diversity programs from our school curriculum. It is beyond time that we listen to our educators.

I'm very worried the pandemic will lead to increased tracking and sorting of kids. State policymakers must take intentional steps to dismantle these practices. Here's my thoughts on what they can do. ow.ly/lvV750HQWSy @KnowledgeWorks #EdEquity #Detracking #EdPolicy
