Excellent community dialogue tonight @EastEpo hosted by @UR_WarnerSchool @URCUES on The Right to Read film. Ultimately, ensuring equitable access to literacy is not up to any one of us individually - it will only happen with all of us, collectively.

Interconnectedness of policy + parents + funding + high-quality teacher training + evidence-based curriculum and instruction + coaching for quality implementation + a community-wide culture of literacy is what it will take to lead to the change we need.

When we have a clear sense of where we're going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.

For change to flourish you need to create a school culture that understands growth is a never-ending process. There is and never will be one "best" way to do things.

An arts education is essential to the whole of education. Art heals. Art inspires. Art engages. It shapes our thinking, and it moves us to action. Raising the bar in education must include the arts.

Developing students' interest in new words is more important than vocabulary quizzes. Also more effective.

Have the courageous conversation you have been dreading. If it’s important do it. Nothing will change if you don’t.
