Wrong accommodation settings don't announce themselves. They just quietly skew the data you're about to use for intervention decisions. We broke down how to catch it before benchmark scores go out. https://t.co/JFgWG9BeZq
Students who stay on track their freshman year are 3.5 times more likely to graduate. Which means the tracking that actually matters is happening right now, not in the spring of twelfth grade. Here's why that starts earlier than most systems account for. https://t.co/nRT4CveN6C
"Quality feedback is a retention lifeline right now."
That line from our recent conversation stuck with us. Teachers aren't leaving because someone observed them. They leave when observations feel like a checklist nobody's reading.

Ask your counselors what they did last week. The list will be longer than you expect. Academic planning. College applications. FAFSA nights. Crisis support. Testing duty. Lunch duty. Here's how to protect counselors' time for the work only they can do. https://t.co/0noL0YmgLy
A rubric score isn't feedback. New teachers especially need to hear what's working and what's next, not just where they landed on a scale. We wrote up a few ways to make that conversation count. https://t.co/RNw8fOAXrq
Every testing coordinator has a story about the accommodation that almost got missed, but testing season doesn't have to run on close calls. Read an honest conversation about what makes the difference. https://t.co/p8h1QqzRvM

A counselor with three hundred students on their caseload doesn't get three hundred students worth of hours in October. FAFSA season makes that math even harder. Here's an honest answer to a question a lot of counselors are asking themselves right now. https://t.co/YFxws0ulQC
Behind every new partnership is an educator who said, “There has to be a better way.” The educators at these districts found it. Welcome aboard! We can’t wait to see what your teams do with the hours they get back!
A principal's calendar rarely survives the day intact. Walkthroughs, parent calls, and the running list of things that were supposed to get done gets pushed again. Here's an honest look at what a day actually holds for building leaders this time of year.

"You really do not know everything a kid is carrying when they walk through your door."
James Beltran learned that as a first-year teacher working with students who needed the most support. Credits and requirements matter. So does the story behind them.

World Teachers' Day is 1 day. Teaching is 180+. A single thank you note doesn't capture what most teachers carry through an entire school year. Today, we're just saying thank you. 💓 #WorldTeachersDay
Students slip through the cracks because systems don't talk to each other. September is when that risk is highest, because everything is starting up at once.
One connected system beats three disconnected ones, especially in the first weeks of school.

Somewhere between the walkthroughs, the parent calls, and the budget meetings, most principals are quietly running the whole building. We see it, and we thank you! #NationalPrincipalsMonth#ThankAPrincipal
Testing season doesn't stay in one office.
Every role feels the same gaps, just differently.
TestHound was built so testing operations don't run on spreadsheets and good intentions. See what it looks like when everyone is working from the same system.

This is the window to get organized before the real chaos hits in the spring. Once state testing season lands, there's no time to fix a plan that was never built right.
5 tips from testing coordinators who've been through it, on what to lock down now. https://t.co/wwj83YVZHo
October is coming fast. FAFSA, applications, deadlines, all stacked on counselors who are already stretched thin. CTE pathways and credit checks tend to slip when everything else is loud. Here's how to every student on track for every credit this fall. https://t.co/Em21y4ijLb
The start of the school year sets the tone for evaluation, testing, and graduation tracking all at once. What happens next depends on staying ahead of all three. We send out what's coming next so you're not piecing it together on your own in April. https://t.co/5QrbFgDfe7
