It's not just a good discussion that you want. It's good habits of discussion. Like Christine's.

@aasimah @springfieldprep Thanks @aasimah! So glad you enjoyed your visit. And thanks to @BESleadership - this school wouldn’t exist without you (and @SWalshBES!).

Spent the morning at @springfieldprep. What a fantastic school: warm & welcoming; orderly & productive with a very scholarly vibe. Happy kids learning a lot. Hard to think of a school I've seen that I'd say was better. Double tip of the cap to Ms. Torres!

[Bill Spirer @billspirer]

@Doug_Lemov @springfieldprep Thanks for visiting! We’ve learned so much from @TeachLikeAChamp and Reading Reconsidered. Thanks for helping us build the scholarly vibe!

Here's an introduction to just a few of the teachers, students, and families who have all helped to make @springfieldprep into such a special community. I'm very lucky to be able to work with such great colleagues, kids, and families. Yes, I'm biased, but I think you'll see why!

It's always hard to capture the great work our teachers, staff, scholars and families do every day - until now! Watch the full video at https://t.co/0hJ2DgKQZi. #EdThatAddsUp #SpringfieldPrepFamily

If only every student could have Mr. Naylor as their music teacher! 😀 #EdThatAddsUp #SpringfieldPrepFamily

[Springfield Prep @springfieldprep]

“We create an environment and a culture of positivity, reinforcing that it’s okay if you’re having a rough day or it’s okay if you got this answer incorrect.” Mr. Naylor, Music & Student Supports Teacherexplains how we create a safe, supportive environment.” #EdThatAddsUp

"We are here - as public school leaders & educators - to endorse proposals that address inequities in the formula that have developed over the past 25 years... We believe additional funding should be directed to the students, schools, & communities that need it most." #FBRC

#FridayFun at Springfield Prep! Dr. Shirae Leslie from FloDesign Sonics in Wilbraham joined our Community Meeting this morning and taught our scholars about the work she does with her team to fight cancer. Our #futurescientists had many questions for her! Thank you Dr. Leslie!

[Bill Spirer @billspirer]

“I had to be held accountable for my student learning. I, after all, was given the charge of educating other people’s children and there is nothing holier and more sacred than that.”

[Ed Post 🎓 @edu_post]

Enough with the set up, says @zfwright.

Charter public schools in Massachusetts are committed to the kids and families of our Commonwealth.

We believe that a focus on teachers + the unique learning needs of all kids + equity + results = a winning educational equation.

Stay tuned to learn more. #EdThatAddsUp
