i think the #edpolicy publication i'm most proud of working on during my time at ECS is this State Policy Options to Promote K-12 Integration policy guide i co-wrote with @CassidyFrancies https://t.co/YjXStYGl89

[Cassidy Francies @CassidyFrancies]

Such an incredible resource from my former colleagues at @EdCommission! Check out this comprehensive resource on teacher recruitment and retention policies.

@Landerson313 This could not have made me any happier 🐥😍

[Cassidy Francies @CassidyFrancies]

So glad to have worked on this during my time at @EdCommission. As the conversation about teacher shortages continues, it may be increasingly helpful to look at approaches in other states. Check out how MN is working to understand teacher retention.

check out this @EdCommission resource @CassidyFrancies and I created on state sex education policies!

we give an overview of current sex ed laws & summarize recent #edpolicy trends regarding consent, parent involvement, prohibiting certain topics & others https://t.co/CmHbtN4ohR

The primary policy response to teacher shortages is often to recruit more teachers - but retaining them has to be a part of the equation.

Helpful resource from @EdCommission for states to address the issue from both angles: https://t.co/Reciki39qq

[Cassidy Francies @CassidyFrancies]

Strategic, comprehensive, and cohesive recruitment and retention efforts are needed to address the specific teacher shortages schools and districts face. Check out some state policy levers to address shortages in the #edpolicy guide I wrote with @tmcdole!

It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek! I am so grateful to all the wonderful educators I’ve had throughout the years and the many valuable lessons they taught me. Now, as part of the @EdCommission team I work to support #EdLeaders who elevate policies to appreciate #teachers every day.

[вяуαη ρ. кєℓℓєу @bryankelleybpk]

great #edpolicy work from @TomasEMonarrez @BrianKisida & @chingos https://t.co/hUix9t1QrF - to cherrypick (but obv go read it all for full story) "The increase in segregation caused by charters in the average district is modest, but larger for systems with large charter shares"

[Cassidy Francies @CassidyFrancies]

Transferring a teaching license from one state to another can be a difficult and confusing process for teachers. Check out this outline on teacher license reciprocity I authored a while back!

[ECS | Education Commission of the States @EdCommission]

#Teacher license reciprocity is closely tied to teacher shortages and demonstrates the need for policymakers to balance holding a high bar to the profession with filling vacancies. Learn more here👉 https://t.co/mCagd3SQmV

very excited to have coauthored this new @EdCommission Policy Guide on State Policy Options to Promote K-12 Integration. we look at racial & socioeconomic segregation, and highlight many state examples of #edpolicy options available to state policymakers https://t.co/Eg7OSQnPr2
