Making great writers starts with a single sentence. Grateful for the chance to present with @jordanpridemore.bsky.social at ICTE today on how small, intentional steps can transform reluctant writers into confident ones.

This is leadership.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

Huge news for Indiana! The latest NAEP data is in, and there’s so much to celebrate!
Indiana’s 4th graders lept from 19th to 6th in the nation, and 8th graders climbed from 17th to 6th—a testament to the incredible work of Hoosier educators. 👏

"It does nothing"
"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"
Will not comply.

Welcome to Indiana: Where we combat illiteracy by making sure no one has books to read.
Trump likes Indiana schools. Are they winning the war on ‘woke’ he wants to fight?

Trump said he likes Indiana schools. Are they meeting his goal of defeating ‘woke’?
The available evidence doesn’t clearly show that the statutes targeting curriculum, library books, and transgender students have accomplished their stated goals. But there’s reason to believe they’re increasing families’ interest in vouchers.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If Indiana spent the same share of it's GDP on K-12 education in 2024 as we did in 2010, we'd spend an addition $2.99 Billion (roughly $2,900 more per student).
