Getting adequate resources to students is one of the many ways we can help teachers make learning more equitable. Teachers, if you could ask for anything for your students, what would it be and why?
As we work towards equitable education in Connecticut, teachers are some of our biggest and most important partners. Without them, even more students would fall through the cracks. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek. Connecticut youth are fortunate to have such a dedicated collection of teachers and we want to make sure those teachers feel our support! Comment below and give a shout out to a special teacher in your life.
#BREAKING: Due to the ongoing pandemic, in-person classes at K-12 schools in Connecticut will remain canceled for the rest of the academic year.
Given the circumstances, this is the best course of action for the safety of students, educators, and staff. https://t.co/0mo9VUVq29
While #TeacherAppreciationWeek feels a bit different this year, our teachers deserve our support more than ever. They are the bridge that connects students to success and they help change the lives of Connecticut youth each day.
"About 17,000 laptops will arrive in low-performing school districts next month to assist Connecticut students who have moved to online learning since schools closed in March." - @hartfordcourant https://t.co/YCg87hLhSm
"to maximize the number of districts (19) receiving laptops - which are currently being built to arrive ready for immediate use - the first round of shipment will be devoted to shipping sites where fewer than 60 percent of students have 1:1 device access at the school level."
"The LFHT has implemented a tiered shipment plan for the 60,000 devices in three rounds of delivery based on a thoughtful, formula-based approach that prioritizes equity, student need, and safe distribution." - @TheNewtownBee https://t.co/AOqxHgQ9Xn
Today's @TheNewtownBee has the latest "Learn From Home Report," an update from the Learn From Home Task Force who are distributing the 60,000 laptops to high school students in need across CT. https://t.co/AOqxHgQ9Xn
What a pleasure to meet by zoom Mary Anne Schmidt Carey, the new exec! Looking forward to working with a former New Yorker! @PartnershipCT@CTAssocBdsofEd
It's about more than just providing tools and resources to keep students on track for their high school graduation. It's about working to combat the inherent educational inequity that blocks many from reaching their full potential.
Thousands of young people are in need of support and opportunity - especially now. We are proud to be working towards a pathway that leads them to longterm success.
Watch CT 2019 Teacher of the Year Sheena Graham on @WFSBnews last night discussing the song she wrote as a way of thanking essential workers and talking about how she's reaching her students during this difficult time. @ICMYGoals https://t.co/KyD3vn8rKD
