I’m proud of our students and educators who have worked hard to improve these metrics even as we acknowledge that our students are more than test scores. While the progress and growth shown in these reports deserves praise, we must continue our work to promote excellence for all students.
Our plan is to Achieve Educational Excellence – for every child in North Carolina and to have the best public schools in the nation. I am eager to see this data continue to improve as we work to implement our strategic plan.
This is it—the quiet part out loud. One side here believes students have nothing in long-term memory, nothing of cognitive value they could bring to their own education. According to this orientation, which sees in students only deficits, no assets, they must be told everything.
Public schools are the heart of our communities 💜. Thank you to @ReecePyrtleNC and @SenatorBerger for taking time to deep dive into Opportunity Scholarships and their impact in Rockingham County.
I had a fantastic meeting with #NC06 educators, including the Piedmont-Triad Region Teacher of the Year! I’ll continue to work in Congress to support our teachers & advocate for equitable public education.
Winding down after a great first day at #WPS24, as we prep for conversations on the hill tomorrow I wanted to acknowledge my gratitude for my team! #ncepfp @epfp_iel @IELconnects
Congratulations to my dear friend, DOCTOR @EmilyBryantHare ! So happy for you and honored to learn from your research 💜. And kudos to hanging with a certain someone for half of their career 🤣🤣
"According to the study, North Carolina is among one of the top 10 most expensive states in the U.S. for child care, with 14% of a family’s income needed to cover the costs."
Research shows that youth who have positive connections with adults at school demonstrate increased motivation and positive behavior. This report focuses on the youth-led Relationship-Centered Schools campaign’s efforts to transform schools. @cal4justice https://t.co/9vJQXqFJrJ
