Final preparations with our youth hosts for SCL4E 2024! So excited to see them in action—and connect with nearly 600 others from our student-centered community—in 13 short hours!

When you’re in the middle of a policy team meeting and the Admin Law Judge report on social studies standards comes out… and you all drop everything to pour over it!

Excited to be back in Minneapolis kicking off #teacherpowered national conference 2022!! Can you guess our theme? ⁦@teacherpowered⁩

@KassenKaterina @DanyikaLeonard @joshcrosson I appreciate Danyika calling out what she saw. I was in the hearing and saw it too. And I’m not sure why you continue to post this screenshot as some sort of “gotcha?”

[Lars Esdal @larsesdal]

@KassenKaterina @EdEvolving As evident in the comment from our colleague here, Education Evolving wants more transparency not less. This screenshot isn't a 'gotchya.' Harmful, hateful rhetoric has no place in education and we call it out when we hear it.

Periodic reminder that if you've ever thought about where to move & asked yourself, "well how are the schools there," you've exercised school choice. It's so baked into the life of those w resources that they don't even see it.

Choice shouldn't just be for people with money.

Vulnerable 🧵… I knew it would be hard being a mother and a state senator, but I also knew I’d work tirelessly to be effective at both. However, there are some simple, yet significant changes we can make to ensure the MN senate is a place young parents can thrive. #mnleg

The proposed CSP rules would mean that culturally affirming charter schools such as those designed to preserve native culture and languages, as well as those in racially isolated areas would be last in line for funding.
