I’m on the advisory board of @StationDC & I’m excited about the work they’re doing to help build the next generation of industry in DC.

They’re hiring a Venue Experience Coordinator to support the people and spaces where that work happens.

Now live in @dclinenews.bsky.social : Graduation requirements should prepare students for the world they are entering, not the one we wish still existed.

Great morning on Nov 14 with at Garrison DCPS families talking through @dcsboe.bsky.social 's work with OSSE DC to revise graduation requirements.

Garrison continues to stand out in reading growth, showing you can teach phonics and spark a love of reading at the same time!

Great to join colleagues from the @councilofdc.bsky.social Committee of the Whole and the DC Deputy Mayor for Education at the launch of the Center for Strong Public Schools.

Momentum continues to build as we implement science of reading reforms across DC!

When do you think we should teach DC students about AI and how?

Leaving Thomson ES PTO meeting where there was general consensus that elementary school is too early, but we should still be teaching skills involved with using AI, like distinguishing fact from opinion.

Five years of steady work -- structured #literacy laws, teacher training, and collaborative investments -- are paying off.

Shout out to my Ward 2 Councilmember @brookepintodc.bsky.social for working with me to turn educator feedback into real policy results.

This growth reflects the shift to structured literacy & evidence-based methods. Still, too many students remain below grade level. I'm committed to continuing the work until all kids can read confidently.

Across DCPS and charters, students posted year-over-year gains in ELA proficiency. That progress belongs to our educators, families, and students whose hard work makes these numbers possible.

Proud of all the incredible Ward 2 seniors I’ve gotten to know this past year, including this Basis DC grad headed to New York as a software developer intern. Whether it’s college, the workforce, or another adventure, there’s more than one road to success.

Ward 2 will miss you!

So you know me as the #literacy guy, but let's add something to the equation. I've talked to over 50 math educators across DC. Mixed reviews on Eureka. Some teachers love it, others feel strongly it's not working.
