.@YuMingSchool, a Chinese-immersion school in Oakland, is paving the way for a new school choice option: one that expands our thoughts on diversity and equity, and finds academic success to back it up.

How do we re-envision education to meet the needs of the new education normal?

We must prioritize flexibility through high-quality virtual tools. @briangreenberg advocates for these innovative changes to accelerate learning in an op-ed for @The74.

Congratulations to @KairosPubSchools for breaking ground on their new building, which will feature a community garden for hands-on learning and a permanent space for their independent learning program. A great place for students.

All students should be prepared for college. Some may choose another path. We're investing in schools like @sacramentoccca which will prepare students for either college or a career right out of high school.

Playing in the NFL was great. But building my own school and watching my vision come alive, it’s a feeling that’s unexplainable. Golden Charter Academy has a waiting list full of students and we have no problem finding teachers that are interested in GCA. Dreams do come true! 🏆

What would it look like if Black school administrators had a dedicated online space to focus on community building and self-care? Our partners at @Surge_Institute are piloting a new project through the Black Principals Network around this idea.

As we’ve seen from partners like @RocketshipEd + others, community schools yield positive student outcomes.

What could it look like if many more schools across the state had the resources to transform to a community school model? https://t.co/tzlttDaGQ1

[Silicon Schools Fund @siliconschools]

What if every school could provide wraparound support to every student and their families?

The model The Primary School East Bay is proving should be scaled to reach more students' around the Bay Area + beyond.

“The biggest hamper to education improvement is that people presume the old way of doing things is way better than it is.” That’s not what we presume. Listen to @BrianGreenberg in conversation with @ScottMcGrew explain why. https://t.co/Zlyj5a0GBC
