Congratulations @RDRocketDoctor on all you have accomplished in aerospace and thank you for creating opportunities for many West Virginia students.
Once in high school, I spoke briefly with Gov. @BobWise48. I was heading to @illinoistech for aerospace. He wished I would stay in WV but I was unsure of the opportunities here.
Today, my school is piloting a program with @marshallu that will bring aerospace to all WV students.

“Enactment is one thing implementation is another” Governor @BobWise48 shares what lessons leaders can take from our 2026 Across the Aisle survey.
The session is in full swing! 🗣️ We’re breaking down the Across the Aisle 2026 survey results with @Hunt_Institute’s Dr. Jaalil Hart, Governor @BobWise48, and Jacqueline Scott Douglas from @BursonGlobal. It's clear that regardless of political affiliation, voters are demanding action on educator retention and workforce prep. We're exploring how mayors can use this data to better connect with constituent priorities. #HuntMayors
Stirring fundraiser tonight for @ChartwellCA school in Monterey which serves almost 200 students w dyslexia & related neurodiversity issues. Reaching beyond campus, Chartwell Teaching Institute has supported 1700 CA public teachers and partners w @UCSFDyslexiaCenter

Good to work with @Hunt_Institute & @jsiddiqi7 to work with policymakers to understand the positive education priorities overwhelmingly supported by the public. For me, most important message is the public is nonpartisan about what improves education. edweek.org/policy-politics/o…

At a @Hunt_Institute event & @BobWise48 made a great point to use the term “career ready” skills instead of “soft” skills. And it made me think: Why do we have career ready measures for HS grads but we seldom mention “career ready” for college students?
Thank you @Hunt_Institute for convening 15 state teams to work on issues of teacher retention. Recent bipartisan surveying by @Lake_Research and Chesapeake Bay Research shows strong public support for key education action. See hunt-institute.org/resources…
From lunch into our Public Perceptions on Education session. Governor @BobWise48 quote:
"Education is a political process but it does not have to be a partisan one."

Safety, strong teaching, and literacy: these aren’t just voter priorities—they’re human priorities. As ESSER funds phase out, education leaders must focus on what truly matters for students and families. Read our take in @The74: the74million.org/article/for… @BobWise48
What do voters really care about? According to new survey data highlighted in a piece by our President and CEO @jsiddiqi7 and Governor @BobWise48, the answer is clear:
✅ Safe schools free from violence, bullying, and threats
✅ High-quality teachers equipped with the resources they need
✅ Literacy programs to ensure every child can read by the fourth grade
With ESSER funds phasing out, school districts face tough decisions. Communities want policies that prioritize these foundational needs—and we’re here to help.
At The Hunt Institute, we work alongside state and local leaders to develop education policies that reflect community values. Together, we can create schools that are not just academically excellent, but safe and supportive environments where every learner can thrive.

Thrilled to see so many governors putting a focus on #education. Governor Hunt's goal was to see a nation of Education Governors and The @Hunt_Institute celebrates @GovofCO Polis for using his platform as Chair of @NatlGovsAssoc to focus on Let’s Get Ready to Educate for Opportunity initiative. nga.org/news/commentary/lets…

Birmingham City Schools faced pandemic challenges, but thanks to smart use of federal funds, they're recovering in math and reading. Despite high poverty, Birmingham is outperforming. This echoes 2023 #AcrossTheAisle findings on literacy & real-world skills. @CarnegieCorp

In this conversation, @BobWise48 and Prof. Sebastian Lipina explore the crucial skills for educational brokers.
They emphasize the need for teams in this complex role and the importance of motivation.
A must-watch!

We would never take our children to a physician that hasn’t stayed updated on latest practice and had training so shouldn’t that apply to our nation’s teachers? Let them out of the classroom and enhance their own professional learning. @BobWise48 #NAESPNLC
