Just as "ready to learn" focuses on young kids' deficits rather than on schools' responsibility to educate all who show up, so talk of "college/career readiness" ignores evidence that the problem isn't unqualified graduates but a scarcity of good jobs

Had a wonderful New Jersey Network of Superintendents session this afternoon working with Dr. Michelle Knight-Manuel of Columbia University. Discussed culturally relevant education as a means to achieving equitable outcomes for all students. Got us all thinking deeply.

@drMi @KeithEricBenson @rsvpocaro @RowanMath @EdLawCenter @ChrisTienken @RowanUniversity @alfiekohn Dr. Milou. Thank you again for taking a hard line against standardized assessments that are consistently linked to exclusionary practices that hurt the trajectory of minority and low income students. A disappointing decision by @Rowanmath

Enjoying tonight's discussion and couldn't agree more; we need to go on a "standards diet". Let's approach students with less is more and cut out the trivial. @MeganLabas @cford @RestartEDteam @ctemc

The cavalry isn’t coming! It’s up 2 us to ReThink, ReImagine, & ReStart Education! We can start with a STANDARDS DIET. Allow Ts flexibility & autonomy 2 teach Ss real-life dispositions needed in a post pandemic 🌎!

In all my time as a Sup I have witnessed structural impediment after structural impediment slow progress toward equality & work against students of color & poor students. One lesson I have learned is that you must fight against them tooth and nail on a daily basis. They spring

[Matthew J. Murphy @drmatthewmurphy]

Since we are in “canceling mood” - let’s cancel ALL state testing for this year. This will allow our teachers and administrators who are already faced with a lot of uncertainties to focus on meeting the pressing needs of our students.
