In case you missed it, excited to share a brief featuring our recent study on the preparation of teachers via fully-online programs- where coursework is online, and candidates complete just 30 hrs of classroom observation prior to becoming teachers. ttu-ir.tdl.org/handle/2346/9… 1/x

Denver's Office of Storytelling did a video about American Indian Academy of Denver, a charter school that closed its doors for good earlier this month. The video was filmed over the last few weeks of school. denvergov.org/Community/Neig… #edcolo

I suggest looking at all of the @EctorCountyISD TIA celebration photos but this one celebrating an incredible PreK teacher really got me. A life-changing amount of money for a teacher who is changing lives.

Look at the official projections for K-12 student enrollments going forward: nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/…
Nationally, we've had growing enrollments for 30 years.
Almost no one working in school systems has seen an environment quite like what's about to come -->

Judy Schneider reminds us - with insight and humor - that advocacy requires understanding policy, politics & procedures and is “not [about] what you want, but what you can live with.” @epfp_iel #epfpwps2022
