EDUCATORS WILL SET SCHOOL REPORT CARD "STAR RATINGS" THIS AUGUST! As with the Forward/PreACT/ACT, educators will decide where the benchmarks are. We currently overrate; despite our national performance, only 17% of schools and 7% of districts are 1 or 2 stars. REGISTER BELOW.

There is a culture and industry focused on getting kids to 'calm down', instead of teaching them. This topic needs to be elevated. @Parents4RJ and @NationalParents, @NationalPTA
@KarinMariaPsyD, lets connect.

A man who literally gave his life for the betterment of his country was erased on the word of a feckless human being that refused to serve. Utterly despicable. Whitewashing at its finest. #RememberMedgar #AlwaysAlcorn
World War II veteran Medgar Evers, whom President Trump called “a great American hero,” has been erased from the Arlington National Cemetery website, which featured a section honoring Black Americans who fought in the nation’s wars. The U.S. Army purged the section that had

Not shocking at all. This has been echoed for many years. And I believe there should be authoritative oversight by @GovEvers, @WisconsinDPI.
An audit of Milwaukee Public Schools ordered by Gov. Evers found a "culture of fear" in the district and a resistance to meaningful change. With overlapping jobs and lots of moving parts, it calls for an organizational overhaul: https://t.co/haTurL6zbe

Doing the work, has tangible results!
"But how'd you reduce suspensions?" We taught kids how to read. "But how'd you improve attendance?" We taught kids how to read "But how'd you reduce teacher turnover?" We taught kids how to read Etc, etc... sometimes answers really are simple (just not easy)

Cecile was a champion. Rest in Power.

I want to say to all of the Charlies of the world who are erroneously, yet “declaratively,” conveying that my father’s influence and the way he is honored are unwarranted: I’m clear on why you do it. It’s the same reason now that it was then. It’s the reason that led the

Get this done ASAP @AssemblyDemsWI & @WIAssemblyGOP @RepKitchens and I worked too hard to get this done!
New: If the $50 million to fund mandated reading changes in Wisconsin schools is not released by the Legislature by June 30, the money will go into the state’s massive surplus. https://t.co/6plkyjfV2n

When we realize we can't sweet talk ourselves out of poor academic achievement and we actually have to do the work, at every level to invest in and raise expectations for everyone involved: teachers, students, parents, & elected officials what a day that will be.
Months after the Department of Public Instruction implemented a new controversial tool to measure students' academic performance, Governor Tony Evers is now describing the decision as a "mistake." https://t.co/1dwT0MQgmZ

I second @GovEvers’ sentiments. To understand that five people are deceased is gut wrenching. We will continue to wait for more information. My prayers to the families of all involved.
I am closely monitoring the incident at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. We are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond.

Just so we are clear, according to AP reporting, the cat Trump wants to put in charge of our military has a white nationalist tattoo and was flagged as a possible insider threat by the military, but yeah, sure it's about economic anxiety

It’s not funny. It’s intentionally harmful and causing panic. I’m Happy the @FBI is looking into this, but I am fearful that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
A 12-year-old Milwaukee girl is one of many people across the country who say they received a random, racist text message this week about picking cotton. The FBI is investigating @WISN12News
