Do you know what many of the highest-performing countries in education have in common? There is a strong emphasis on treating teachers with respect and providing them with support and recognition for their work. They prioritize the development and well-being of their teachers. These countries typically offer competitive salaries, ongoing training and support, opportunities for career advancement, and a culture that values the teaching profession.
Our school is just AMAZING!! They rallied around our 3rd graders taking their first RICAS test!! I am so proud of them and my leadership team !! #believe@RIDeptEd@ElementaryZone@pvdschools

Providence and Rhode Island admins pushing old playbook of school redesign, choice, & closure in Providence, RI. Same playbook in Hartford more than decade ago. It pushed privatization, profit, & selectivity, but "more" academic progress was an illusion.
