We need an updated agenda to emulate the popular support garnered by "A Nation at Risk" so we can meet the challenges of today and prepare students to thrive in a dynamic future.

From Opinion: Focusing on standardized test scores as the most important measure of education ignores evidence that other measures better predict long-term success. https://t.co/Cz405RHE73

Situating learning in the cities and communities our students are growing up in promotes better outcomes - academically and otherwise. Kudos to @BaltCitySchools for https://t.co/aKcQCjwYqg. Cultural responsiveness + standards aligned + support for teachers is how to do it. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Baltimore City Public Schools @BaltCitySchools]

City Schools is proud to have been a part of Baltimore's history since 1829. Understanding the city and its history is essential when you serve the families at our schools, so a group of school leaders toured some of Baltimore's historical sites to prep for the next school year!

@KiraboJackson is the most creative and insightful ed economist in the field. Using rigor of econometrics, his studies show that HSs positively impact young adult outcomes by cultivating belonging and strong work habits. @WhiteHouseCEA and our country are lucky for his service.🙌🏻

[Aspen Institute Education & Society Program @AspenEdSociety]

Congratulations to @KiraboJackson on his appointment to @WhiteHouseCEA! We’re excited to see a leader with his profound expertise in the economics of education take on this role. #EdPolicy #PublicEducation. https://t.co/AAc0X2s8B1

[Aspen Institute Education & Society Program @AspenEdSociety]

Important work, especially in light of record-low
@NAEP_NCES civics & history results. #PublicEducation needs to play a fundamental role in preparing students to engage effectively in American democracy and civic life.

[Ross Wiener @ross_wiener]

Inspired by ⁦@FLOTUS⁩ Dr. Jill Biden ⁦@RonaldReagan⁩ - learning that leads to good life and good jobs starts w HQ ECE and goes through rich HS experiences. Shared values CAN unite Americans on public education as an engine of opportunity. #RISE2023

[Ross Wiener @ross_wiener]

Let's give 'em something to talk (and read + write) about! Putting civic content on reading tests can bolster commitments states have already made to improve learning. What are your thoughts about this idea? @ScottFMarion @nellkduke @MichaelPetrilli @rpondiscio @CIRCLE_KKG

[Aspen Institute Education & Society Program @AspenEdSociety]

How do we address record-low civics results from @NAEP_NCES? In @The74, @AspenInstitute's @ross_wiener says embedding civic content into statewide reading assessments would improve civic knowledge, enhance reading testing, and make teachers’ jobs easier. https://t.co/gQlgCpdUS9

[Ross Wiener @ross_wiener]

Excited to see my colleague @GenePinkard share in @Education Week why we need a “holistic and multifaceted” approach to promoting mental health in schools. This includes creating classrooms where students feel safe and celebrated. @AriannaProthero https://t.co/RSuzRr1vgm

[Ross Wiener @ross_wiener]
