Home Means Nevada! I am grateful to @NvstateED for creating space today to engage in learning and discussion around @TNTP latest research “Opp. Makers”. Lets continue to ensure Belonging, Consistency and Coherence are a part of plans and actions in our schools and systems in NV

[Sarah Ledon @SarahLedon]

Thoughtful piece making me wonder why we hold on to so many practices and the impact (or lack of impact). How do we disrupt systems to ensure we have a strong pipeline of educational leaders? 🤔🧠

Deb Helms @TNTP making the direct connection between instructional coherence and belonging “Every adult in the building is responsible for every learner. These are all of our students” @AlaskaDEED #AKSOR #AKLearns #mytntp🙌🏻🌟

Excited to be able to talk reading fluency with @literacypodcast on Friday, May 9th. I share protocols, scaffolds, scripts and ways to elevate the readers theater experience. @WashoeSchools @NvstateED

Said differently: You show me a "miracle," and I'll show you a scandal. Be very skeptical of overnight improvements in reading scores.

We are having a blast! So much learning and collaboration happening and its only day one 🎉 @AlaskaDEED @TNTP #mytntp

[Alaska DEED @AlaskaDEED]

What a great first day! Thank you to Commissioner Bishop, Natalie Wexler, Tim Hise, Melissa Loftus and Lori Sappington and all of our guest speakers who brought their knowledge forth to share.

This!!!👇👇👇 HQIM with knowledge building takes years to see student outcomes shift on standardized test. Early studies suggest at least 3 years. Our teachers and students need the gift of time. 📚@AlaskaDEED @TNTP #AKSOR #AKLEARNS #mytntp @natwexler

Instead of having kids practice reading comprehension skills year after year, we should be boosting students' academic knowledge of topics. Let's not limit our kids! @natwexler @AlaskaDEED @TNTP #AKSOR #AKREADS

The 2025 Alaska Science of Reading has started! Natalie Wexler is our first keynote: Linking the Science of Literacy with the Science of Learning. "We need to do more than just fix phonics for students to be fully literate" @TNTP #AKSOR #AKLEARNS @AlaskaDEED #mytntp

Let's connect over the next few days! #AKSORS #AKLearns @AKREADs

Explore @TNTP's new study, "The Opportunity Makers," which found three themes among schools that had seen significant - and sustained - gains in student achievement. Those themes: consistency, coherence, and belonging. Learn more: https://t.co/0gvwwCwbdt

We love data, and this year’s North Star Summit is packed with brand-new insights and data from @FiftyCAN @marcportermagee on the “State of Educational Opportunity in America” and @TNTP Michael Franco on the brand-new “The Opportunity Makers.”

[Sarah Ledon @SarahLedon]

We at @TNTP continue to be proud working with our partners at @opportunity180 and the Nevada community! 🌟

[Opportunity 180 @opportunity180]

Rounding out the program today is a panel led by Erin McGarry on applying lessons learned and the data from @50CAN and @TNTP on policy, practice, and moving our state forward in service of a common goal for education.
