"Without a good Tier 1, you will not have an effective Tier 2. Without a good Tier 1, you can't have a good Tier 2, Tier 3." @burnsmk1 explains here: Matt Burns - Using Data to Intensify Interventions https://t.co/PdznDnffeM via @YouTube @BranchingMinds @MTSScenter

And…Prioritize the needs of historically marginalized learners.

Take a moment to see school through a fifth grader’s eyes. Because their teacher loves them beyond measure…they show up every day ready to do hard things. @ALerch5 @AldieElementary @LCPS_SEL

Celebrating so many ovations at 2021-22 ALT Opening Session. Equity & Engagement are keys to a successful year, in spite of obstacles. #WeStandUp for Boards that keep students at the center, Student Equity Ambassadors who are brave in the face of fear, & Leaders who speak truth.

Office of Strategic Engagement @VCU reminds us #Equity is action-oriented. The pieces are in place but we must do the hard work all day, every day to combat systemic racism in our schools. @EquityinLCPS
