The vast majority of CAās students will start school remotely this fall, but this cannot be a continuation of the inequitable distance learning of spring ā20. New brief lays out what CA leaders must do to ensure high-quality education for all students: edpolicyinca.org/publicationā¦

While our federal government supports big business and industry, I hope we will all advocate to ensure public education is equitably considered by Congress in this next stimulus package -we must demonstrate that we value our children and educators.
The financial health of schools across the country are at-risk. But investing in education is critical way of regrowing the economy. It should be a key stimulus strategy.
Thank you @Super_GGuerrero and the @PPSConnect Board of Education for your advocacy.

LAUSDās Allison Yoshimoto-Towery, was dead on when she noted that āopportunities for teachers to improve their craft needs to be an expectation of the entire school year, and not just 1 day at the beginning. ā #Partneringforequity

In the 20 years of our foundation, one of the things Iām proudest of is that we have been bold on family planning. When it comes to the lives and futures of over 200 million women, we canāt afford not to be.

I am a firm believer in offering my students choice and letting them decide what works best for them. I also give them the why in whatever we are doing so that they can take ownership of their learning
