Thrilled to catch up with Stedman Graham. Years ago, we were introduced to each other through our mutual friend, Jim Hayes, and it was great to reconnect here at @asugsvsummit . Excited to read his new book, “Identity Leadership.”

More politicians should do this! Hire the talented moderate folks across the aisle.
Colorado Springs’ mayor has a new chief of staff. It’s the guy he trounced in the election.

States owe the public an honest accounting of how well schools are serving kids. That means keeping annual tests, no matter what happens in Washington. @ScottFMarion makes the case in @The74.
My research and reporting with @CSInstituteCO has captured this same trend in Colorado. Public schools adding significantly more employees while serving significantly fewer students. It’s happening nationally, as reported by @ChadAldeman. @The74 the74million.org/article/pub…

Consistent with previous CSI recommendations, the Governor said in his 2025 State of the State address that he will work to adjust the system of how we fund students based on actual enrollment instead of relying on outdated enrollment averages.

Great thread! Thanks for the wisdom and truth-telling, @NMartinez_CO !
Contrary to what people will tell you about @dps_k12 school closure process ..
1. Declining enrollment is REAL. We’ve known this trend since 2015. Go back and watch board presentations.
2. School closures suck. Its not the politically easy decision…

“I believe that poor children all across the country should receive an apology for the fact that today they are forced to attend schools that no one with any means would ever send their kids.” @MichaelBennet via @alangott @boardhawk boardhawk.org/2024/09/former… #edcolo #copolitics
Great piece by @PapaDiaALG on threats to charter schools in Colorado. Some high stakes on the November ballot. #edcolo

So perfectly said!
“People can disagree about what caused what, but the retreat of business leaders from an education sector that has become toxic doesn’t help anyone who wants to refocus attention on student needs and what works.” @arotherham eduwonk.com/2024/08/what-are…

Sad the media intentionally deceives you on the bipartisan nature of this plan. The article doesn’t tell you until the last line in the 4th paragraph that the Democrat Governor supports the program as well.

I don’t expect he’ll win any popularity contests with this thread, but my friend @ericlerum is speaking facts.
Other things teachers' unions could do to improve teacher prep:
1) Support policies that hold EPPs accountable for outcomes; require teachers to demonstrate effectiveness before gaining full licensure; allow more models for EPPs to end the monopoly of ed schools;
