@ColleenDippel @williamstodd78 @thomassparker @Dale_Chu @MichaelPetrilli @jamestalarico @SethBRau @educationgadfly What's it called when you define a group of nearly 70,000 people by the interactions you have with a small subset of that group?

"This silence isn’t accidental — it’s the result of a success story so politically inconvenient that it threatens the foundational beliefs of both sides of America’s education debate." via @RaviMGupta @The74 https://t.co/jVSxX4wHgn

In May, Tarrant County and Fort Worth locals were surveyed to gauge their views on education. The findings are now available. Check out the complete report at: https://t.co/N9k5DDoyp5

[Brandon Brown @BBrownIndy]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling affirms what we already know to be true: Charter schools are public schools.

Thanks to @charteralliance and the many national advocates who advocated for today’s outcome.

It's pretty simple @DrJillUnderly:
22 to 19 on the ACT is lowering the bar
"Meeting , Below College Ready" isn't OK

Leaders across the spectrum from @GovEvers to @SpeakerVos, & orgs across the spectrum from @ppi to @WILawLiberty, aren't all "getting it wrong"

[Nicole Young is querying @ittybittyny]

I finally have a website where all my writing, editorial, and podcast work lives! Over the years, I've ghostwritten essays, op-eds, and two books. I've penned essays on race and culture and a middle grade fantasy manuscript (that I am currently querying!) https://t.co/rvlFgfXLeX

You can see why many Democrats wish Michelle Obama like politics more.

The end of her speech tonight—->

Check this out: In EVERY SINGLE CITY that significantly expanded public charter schools over the past decade, ALL low-income kids (including those in district-run schools!) leapt toward state averages.

The other cities? Not so much.

[Colleston Morgan Jr @colleston]

Buried in today's @WisconsinDPI data release - due to lower standards, WI now has a new category: students "meeting expectations", but below college-ready. on the ACT.

We @CityForwardCol have been clear: DPI's changes are bad for students & families. This is just one reason why.

[Parker Baxter @Parker_Baxter]

Denver's reforms offer lessons to others seeking change. The challenges that led DPS to reinvent itself—chronic low-performance, financial instability, & declining enrollment—districts across the country face today. Districts can take needed courage from evidence of its success.

[Parker Baxter @Parker_Baxter]

This week my colleagues & I @CUDenverSPA released new research examining the impact of Denver Public Schools' portfolio district strategy on individual student achievement overall at the system level & for 3 primary improvement tactics. #edpolicy #edcolo
