Thankful to Rep. Todd Jones & @DrJeffBearden for their leadership on this project.
Grateful for & proud of @ForsythVirtAcad’s Phil Lyerly, @cbryko, & @th3ch3m1st & Sahil & Hype for their amazing work helping students & teachers in rural Georgia!
I’ve been saying this for a long time... There is NO achievement gap without an opportunity gap! Focusing on achievement puts the onus on students while focusing on opportunities puts it on communities, educators, policies, and systems.

We need to be determined to achieve positive change, and also be able to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat. One person can be the source of inspiration for many others.

@hazlebussey Maybe it has something to do with our value system. I really value hard work. AND, I also enjoy my work, but I know when I've taken a break for myself I come back more creative and more patient with my colleagues. #GLISIchat#WayneREADS
