The Don Evans Family Managing Director of Opportunity and Democracy of the Bush Institute, @annewicks , argues that pluralism is the “messy, sometimes bruising, central tenet of U.S. democracy” and provides the kind of friction our best leaders use to sharpen their decision-making.

@cinqaseptnyc I have emailed you many times about a customer service issue - no one responds. Is there a number to call?

[Daniel Lubetzky @DanielLubetzky]

Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Salim Asrawi, Co-Founder and President of @texasdebrazil. While we sadly weren’t at the delicious Brazilian steakhouse, we were at the @TheBushCenter Forum on Leadership, discussing our journeys immigrating to the United States and what we've been fortunate to do with our time here.

Thank you, Salim, and our wonderful moderator, @annewicks, for such a meaningful and thoughtful conversation.

@paigekowalski That is rude!

[Bill McKenzie @Bill_McKenzie]

Texas once was on track with proven reading instruction. Now, though, my colleague @annewicks and I make the case why it should learn from states like Mississippi and Colorado that are basing their instruction on scientifically backed strategies.

Instructive article by @annewicks & @Bill_McKenzie on Texas’s efforts to adopt the science of reading. They highlight data from our June report showing that < ⅓ of Texas teacher prep programs adequately cover scientifically based reading instruction. https://t.co/4jkiwssoZy

“@TrenaceDorsey explained that only 13% of Fort Worth students scored high enough on SAT or ACT exams to be considered ready for college, a career or the military. Parents were shocked.” @annewicks @Bill_McKenzie https://t.co/k7sw4TyX33 #SoR #txed #txlege @WeArePPM @KatyLiteracy

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

The Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System caught only 31% of the struggling readers. Burns called that level of accuracy "shocking," saying it was "quite literally the lowest I've ever seen." https://t.co/lVdpuKWiVJ

“Rather than continuing to work together to help all children meet high standards, too many state leaders have settled for moving the goalposts, lowering the standards, and pretending that everything [is] okay. It isn’t.” @AimeeGuidera via @The74 https://t.co/TSUhLncamn @CRPE_edu

@annewicks highlights how Mississippi started a reading revolution. @TheBushCenter @MissDeptEd @kymyona_burk

[Kymyona Burk, Ed.D. @kymyona_burk]

Great piece by @annewicks! #TheMSStory @ExcelinEd @MissDeptEd

[Anne Wicks @annewicks]

The MS reading story:
steadfast leadership + policy with both accountability and support + research based instruction = kids win.

It’s an honor to tell it in this @TheBushCenter Catalyst issue about policy that actually works. @kymyona_burk, #DrCareyWright, & team amaze me!

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

Mississippi's success shows that, if taught properly, all kids can succeed – and that change is possible even in big, bureaucratic systems.

“The ability to read becomes the ability to learn, to solve problems, to work – and, ultimately, to vote.”
