Program Officer, College Spark Washington. Proud to work towards justice and equity in education systems.

Important findings in @RoadMapProject's "Inequity by Design" report. Recommendation 1 is especially well aligned with @CollegeSparkWA's giving priorities. If funding could help drive this work at your college, I would love to start a conversation with you. https://t.co/EKi4UAJbpJ

"We have to center student voices. It can be as simple as asking them, 'What are your demands of me? How can we make this more meaningful? How can we make this more joyful?'"

“There’s a lot of interest right now in dismantling systemic racism, but it’s not as clear how to do it,” said José Aparicio. “Inoue’s work gives us the tools to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.” @BellevueCollege @SBCTCWashington https://t.co/4ZltD9mxMf

Inspired by so much, including one message shared by @BLoveSoulPower: choosing compassion over compliance isn't just important during COVID-19 closures - it's still an imperative when we return to schools. #VirtualGOL2020

Need a do now? How about this: Let's use the time we said we didn't have, to do the things we said we couldn't do, to radically transform the way we serve young people. No going back! Keep the energy we have now. #VirtualGOL2020 @COSEBOC

I never stop amazed by how much a warm greeting at the door matters - students get on task faster and have fewer disruptive behaviors with a personal greeting, a friendly task reminder, and some positive reinforcement as they enter the classroom. #mtssfest2020

https://t.co/Cst92aElK8 offers a Practice Guide on getting back to school after disruptions in ways that make schools more connected, predictable, and positive. https://t.co/7etAB0G4tW

Dr. George Sugai stresses that students will be coming back to school with additional trauma over baseline levels. We urgently need strong team planning now for how to recalibrate our practices for their return to school. #mtssfest2020

@CollegeSprkExec Welcome aboard! We look forward to great things ahead for Washington students.

Mandatory suspension for drug, tobacco, or alcohol possession is a misguided impulse we must outgrow. If anyone was making a list of ways to help kids too young for pot, throwing them out of school wouldn't make the first ten pages.

"Sending parents mail multiple times over a school year informing them how many times their child had missed class reduced chronic absenteeism by 10 percent" - exciting when small tasks can have big impact! https://t.co/eS0t7btzyO

Energized by first meeting of @RoadMapProject Postsecondary Success group! So much promise for improving regional degree completion rates.

@Garciaj9Josh Best to email [email protected]. Happy to set up a meeting in Tacoma with the right people regarding funding guidelines.

@Garciaj9Josh: Interested in the work needed to make Lincoln 2.0 a success. Could be a fit to apply for our funding. http://t.co/jh1WcuoVPJ
