As @TNTP has known for years, not stretching students has significant consequences.

I can think of very little that teachers do, that is more important … than communicating to students that they matter.

K12 should not try to end poverty alone. We have to partner with other sectors to achieve real change. @TequillaBrownie and @FosterintheAtx at @SXSWEDU. #disruptinequity

Shoutout for the amazing community-based organizations that stepped up for students during #COVID19! @TequillaBrownie @SXSWEDU

"Top-down change, change driven only by thinktanks or elected officials, that's not going to be sustainable. Grassroots change often doesn't scale. You've got to bring the two together." @TequillaBrownie with @FosterintheAtx at @SXSWEDU #DisruptInequity

[@torifullard @torifullard]

Enrichment experiences cannot continue to be optional. They should be a core part of the educational experience for all K-12 students.

When we set high expectations for students, they will achieve those high expectations. But if we never give them the opportunity, all we do is deliver millions of students right back into the hands of poverty they were born into. #DisruptInequity #SXSWEDU #EconomicMobility

[@torifullard @torifullard]

Today @TequillaBrownie takes the stage at @SXSWEDU to talk about the importance of equity in education and the opportunity to set kids on a path to economic mobility. #DisruptInequity

“Low expectations is pervasive in our schools today and it’s impacting our Black and brown students.” @TequillaBrownie with @FosterintheAtx at @SXSWEDU

Advice for handling the teacher shortage from @tntp via @The74:

1) Make teaching accessible to more people.

2) Acknowledge that teachers care about their pay and working conditions.

3) Reimagine the actual job of teaching.

Thank you to all my amazing elementary school teachers, including Mrs. Prince (3rd grade), Mrs. Ruff (4th grade), and Ms. Gelinas (6th grade).

[Beandrea July @beandreadotcom]

Abbott Elementary exists because a sixth grader grew up and never forgot how seen she felt by her teacher. Let that sink in.

At a time when students need diverse, effective teachers to help them accelerate back to grade level, schools across the country are facing their toughest staffing challenges. We've released a resource to help: https://t.co/Zpa63jKVOW

So excited to be at @TNTP, esp at this historic moment. "Education is what helps students shift the very trajectory of their lives. We’re talking about changing the lives of generations of Americans.” #TNTPCEO #HERstoryMade #EducationIsKey #MeetTequilla https://t.co/kEREfpyNCJ

[@torifullard @torifullard]

Last month I joined @TNTP, an org dedicated to making sure every public school student has equitable educational opportunities. Today we announced the one and only @TequillaBrownie as our next CEO, and I couldn't be more excited or inspired.

[TNTP @TNTP]

Dr. @TequillaBrownie is a brilliant leader who has overseen key areas of @TNTP's consulting, organizational strategy, policy, and community coalitions work. That’s why we’re beyond thrilled to share that she will be TNTP’s next CEO! Learn more here: https://t.co/xNY5qQmNIe

What books would you like to see added to your library or summer reading list? https://t.co/ssaDdmhlQG

[@torifullard @torifullard]

@MarkLevineNYC please tell your phone bankers not to say “have a good day and god bless,” at the end of a call with voters. NYC is diverse, and many of us are very happy atheists who would like to be respected as such.

What’ll It Take for New York City to Elect a Woman as Mayor? https://t.co/7kaZby4ICl

[@torifullard @torifullard]

Good meeting you in Washington Heights this morning @MarkLevineNYC!

[@torifullard @torifullard]

Listening to @NYCMayor say on @BrianLehrer that City workers haven't been productive from home during the pandemic is a gross insult. Municipal workers, inc my amazing @NYCSchools colleagues, have been working around the clock since last March. To suggest otherwise is disgraceful

[Dr. Meisha Porter @MeishaPorter]

I've dedicated my life to @NYCschools, and cannot imagine a greater honor than the opportunity to lead as Chancellor. @NYCmayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carranza have laid an incredible foundation. I am ready to hit the ground running and lead our schools to a full recovery.
