"It’s not just a reading curriculum, it’s a whole-school overhaul — curriculum and instruction, professional development, leadership training, etc. — that’s lifted Steubenville’s poorest kids to nationally recognized heights, pushing reading scores two grade levels above peers’".
And thank you to @The74 for co-publishing my piece here:.

'Their findings demonstrate the significant positive impact that Tennessee’s public charter schools have on students'. Imagine what we could do if ALL @MetroSchools students got 77-98 additional days of learning per year, every year?! . 👏 @SCORE_TN @davemansouri . cc @tncharters
What does postpandemic student recovery look like in Tennessee?. Research from @universityofky and @USC finds that students in public charter schools are showing significant learning gains — making months more learning progress, equivalent to additional days of learning in math

‘Student improvements, while good/important, are largely insignificant if the majority of kids are still struggling. Yet @MetroSchools celebrates 1-2% bumps in student proficiency while still turning in an overall failing grade; meanwhile, its budget continues to grow’ 👀 🔥🚨.

Lots of our best @MetroSchools teachers deserve $3k-32k bonuses! .'Districts explain how they will ID a certain % of teachers as outstanding, based on student growth (eg scores/classroom observations). The state then awards those districts extra money for each designated teacher'.
Texas has slowly built a new approach to rewarding great teachers:

24 @MetroSchools High Schools🤞.👏 @TNPromise . 'The effort is meant to slash through the Red Tape students face when navigating college searches. Participating students won't even have to apply to understand their options at dozens of participating in-state colleges'
New today: Tennessee launches automatic college admission in 230 high schools. The 1st-of-its-kind program will send thousands of students application-free admissions results alongside a financial aid estimate. "No applications, no essays, no fees.".

Interesting:.'There is NO meaningful difference in school grades among demographically diverse children raised in intact families. The achievement gap appears to be LESS about race & MORE about the structure/stability of the family'.👏 @rpondiscio @IanVRowe.cc @MetroSchools
Opinion: Family structure matters to student achievement. What should we do with that?

"TN students continue to be on an upward trajectory" 👏. 'Where do we need to double down & where do we need to act more boldly to ensure ALL students achieve success?' 👀. 🤔Record 41% 3rd grade ELA proficiency is good! Now how do we get to 100%?. cc @MetroSchools @tncharters.
As we work together to ensure all TN students are prepared for the classroom, career, and beyond, 2025 TCAP data serve as a compass for progress. Having set ambitious goals for student success, we need to recommit to what works and act more boldly so that all students see success

“We have no clue what people’s true potential is until given the opportunity. Access and resources…it shifts the trajectory of students’ outcomes. If I can provide that, then just imagine what kids can do”.👏@NursesMC .@HCAhealthcare @ascenstthomas @VanderbiltU .cc @MetroSchools.

Hope @MetroSchools allows high-quality public charters like @SuccessCharters to co-locate in MNPS' unused spaces (1/2 empty Whites Creek/Pearl-Cohn/Maplewood clusters). These capacity numbers were PRE-Covid. Good for @MetroNashville families/students, facilities, & taxpayers!
Success Academy is expanding to Florida. first to report it is definitely moving forward. (and yup it's me on the NY - Florida thingamabob again - joined by #AnnaKaiser .

Neat TN Wild Side/Steve Hall video: '@TNNatureAcademy is 5-7th grades, adding each yr until they are 5-12th. TNA has 23 acres to build a future school. It borders a 300-acre park where students will play near a creek / an old growth forest'. @tncharters.
