Pay very close attention . Be dissatisfied with the status quo . Try to be a change agent. Be grateful that there is at least some emerging agreement about best practices for early readers. Be cautious and skeptical 2/3.

As a founding member of the @MassReads Coalition, I am grateful to the @BostonGlobe for supporting the argument we’ve been making all along, and endorsing the “Right to Read” Literacy bill. I’m very grateful to our sponsors @RepSimonCataldo, @RepDanSenaMA & @SalDiDomenico

While the @BostonGlobe recognizes that low reading scores are a five alarm fire, @washingtonpost platforms a shill for balanced literacy & his poor attempt to explain away the evidence. Good work, @BostonGlobe. Do better, @washingtonpost.
The problem isn’t people misreading NAEP scores. The problem is kids can’t read—and defenders of balanced literacy still want to debate definitions instead of solutions.

Always great to see another tie aficionado! @NiallHarbison is one of the best follows - highly recommended.
You might notice he has no leash on. Just his lovely tie. Sonny could turn and leave any moment he wanted to but he already knows he is home here with us. A very very good boy indeed (7/7)

As I term off the Board of @MASchoolsK12, I was given a very nice send off with my appointment to @EdCommission and outreach from a lot of our State’s leadership. I’m grateful for all of that and a unique 10 year experience.

It turns out a study had just been released. But, the study, while interesting, only covers the first five years. Hopefully a more complete review will follow. 4/4.

About a week ago I told both the Holyoke School Committee and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education that Holyoke’s experience should be carefully studied - the good and the bad. The information ought to lead to legislative work on improving accountability. 3/4.

Hamas should never control a single square inch of this planet. The appalling ignorance of cheering and chanting festival goers is beyond the pale.

This is a pretty solid overview of the state of #MAEdu today. I suspect our place on the top is already gone, but the measurements haven’t been taken yet.

Social media has reached a new low when @AuschwitzMuseum needs to answer back to some Holocaust denying troll call @GarbageHuman24, but here we are.
Tattooed numbers were used only in one German Nazi camp — Auschwitz. These tattoos were assigned exclusively to prisoners who were registered in the camp. Out of approximately 1.3 million people deported to Auschwitz, only about 400,000 were registered as prisoners and given

This meme of truth is making the rounds. A diploma is merely a piece of paper. If there’s no substance behind it, it’s a documented lie.
