[T🍏S Board of Ed @TCSBoardofEd]

Tuscaloosa City Schools is making history!

The Tuscaloosa City Board of Education has become the first school board in the world to be recommended for board certification by @CogniaOrg, a global accrediting organization.

The recognition follows an extensive review highlighting the board’s strong leadership, commitment to student success and culture of trust and accountability. Final approval is expected in the coming weeks.

“This is a historical moment,” said Andre Harrison, Cognia’s deputy chief of accreditation services. “Out of more than 40,000 institutions across the globe, Tuscaloosa City Schools is the first.”

60% of teachers in new Ed Week survey say student behavior has worsened over the past two years:

“We’ve seen a large increase in the inability for students to cope when things don’t go their way. We see a lot of crying, yelling, shutting down, gross overreactions”

This happens more than we know. Be human first. Find out what is going on before we let the system grind.

Let’s go!
