We are already seeing disruptions to learning as the school year begins. Districts can lay the groundwork now for recalibrating in January, rather than waiting for between school years to make big changes.

[William Slotnik @billslotnik]

Integrated STEM experiences—virtual and in-person—can help students accelerate learning. This can connect to the five strategies outlined here.

ESSER funds are a chance to focus not just on recovery, but transformation. Using an equity lens is an important step in making that happen.

[Marguerite Roza @MargueriteRoza]

Req’d or not, still smart to pencil out how ESSER$ will flow to each school in plans. #equity

Plus schXsch $data will ultimately show who got what.
