Words worth reading from Secretary Cardona, an educator himself: ed.gov/news/speeches/priorit…

4 Feb 2022
Also: "Let's not just talk about honoring educators, let's make sure they are treated with the respect & dignity they deserve...a livable wage, ongoing professional learning & development, supportive working conditions & a work environment where their voices are welcome"
4 Feb 2022
Secretary Cardona: "Especially now during a pandemic, engaging all parents' voices in this process of recovery and addressing disparities is not only important, it's necessary. All parents' voices must be heard."
4 Feb 2022
Again, Secretary Cardona; "We can't lose this moment—this chance for a reset in education—by going back to the same pre-pandemic strategies that did not address inequities"
4 Feb 2022
Thank you, Secretary Cardona, for your leadership. Some highlights from a recent speech: "All kids must be seen, all kids must be connected, and all kids must hear their names in school every day. "

And Justin Wells argues that worthwhile student profiles must be 1) co-designed with the community; 2) start with instructional practice rather than assessment measurement; and 3) honestly consider the implications of the promise to students. futurefocusededucation.org/2…

Words of wisdom from Tony Monfiletto: "graduate profiles would be a lot more meaningful if they were promises to young people rather than projections by adults...What if we...said that graduate profiles were promises from adults to students?” futurefocusededucation.org/2…

Very sad to share that my colleague & close friend Mark Kostin is retiring from GSP in June. Mark has inspired me & educators across the county. His insight and total dedication to supporting all children to learn well has been an inspiration for our many years in collaboration.
