I'm committed to spending the weekend reading, watching, learning so I'm better prepared to think and stand with my friends and fellow humans as an ally. My "white progressive" friends & educators, we need to continue working to be actively anti-racist. Every single day.
“To simply think about the people, as the dominators do, without any self-giving in that thought, to fail to think with the people, is a sure way to cease being revolutionary leaders.” -Paolo Freire
How will our inability to move outside traditional structures of education... i.e. the calendar of a school yr and the grade level progression of students... affect our students following this pandemic? forstudentsuccess.org/our-campaigns/…
STUDENT VOICE: For this first-generation college student, paying it forward makes higher ed worth the price hechingerreport.org/student-voice-…
Smart move. Loving this announcement from my former employer and in my hometown! I'm sure we'll see more moves like this Midwest Flagship Match tuition program. Students shouldn't pay for a campus, physical community experience if they won't be getting that in the early fall.
NEW TUITION PROGRAM: Beloit College announces the school has launched a new tuition program aimed to respond to the needs of students and parents rethinking college choices and wanting to stay closer to home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. wrex.com/2020/04/14/bel…
@dietrich_edu Absolutely. Thanks for this thoughtful response!
"The greatest danger to both learning and the health and well-being of their communities is not having a line of sight on every single child." -@mcmageejr
Educators are worried about losing contact with students, especially in communities where not every family has reliable internet access. One school district in Arizona is pledging to call and connect with every student — about 28,000 of them — every day. trib.al/prEeyPO
How do you see your role in response to the crisis, @dietrich_edu ? Now, and in months to come?
As an edpolicy student, I'm having a hard time managing my reactions to the crisis. I feel obligated to think about the "what's next" of teaching & learning and how we can change structures for the better, but I also know that so many of our students have much larger worries rn.
Any interest, @dietrich_edu ?

“These classes were put together in a crisis, and our students didn’t sign up for them. We’re going to lose students.” chroni.cl/3a720Pb
Latest student-to-school-counselor ratios show improvement w/ a 430:1 national average, the best we've seen in years. However, it's still well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ratio. #SchoolCounseling ow.ly/kw2e50zeagU
Keep an eye out on how your local school board handles its response to this pandemic. Local elections decide so much about our day-to-day lives, but that idea is also comforting to me...so often, our communities have the answers to its problems.
“at least 37 state education departments or boards of education had issued public guidance on their graduation criteria as of April 13, albeit with varying degrees of depth and completeness.” Local districts will be making decisions to fill in those gaps
As a former college access coordinator, I’m interested in how COVID-19 has been affecting HS seniors and 1st year college students. Here’s a bit about the K12 side: the74million.org/article/in-the…
hoping to use this platform as another way to engage in education conversations as I transition professionally into the #edpolicy world -- S/O to @dietrich_edu for tackling this mission with me!
