Collaborating across the education community with educators, researchers, developers and other experts to build the fundamental learning infrastructure our educators need. Stoked about our work at Learning Commons and our exciting start with Anthropic!

Check out my latest @chanzuckerberg newsletter featuring: 💡 #EdTech co-building with Render 3️⃣ Strategies to boost students’ connection to school 🚀 @GradientLrn’s Whole Student System 📖 @ReachReaders work to improve early literacy in North Carolina https://t.co/qmlpri46mM

So inspired to hear Priscilla Chan and @Common talk about the importance of educator voice in building impactful education solutions. This is exactly why I’m excited about Render — our #edtech innovation studio co-building tools that help unlock student potential.

The past school year was challenging for several reasons, especially remote learning. So, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is trying to strengthen one-on-one connections with a new, free digital tool called Along.

A new program, called #Along, aims to connect students & teachers after a year of remote learning. It allows teachers to ask students questions about themselves & their lives outside the classroom. Dr. Priscilla Chan joins us first to discuss the @ChanZuckerberg initiative.

The moment is finally here! Along, designed by @GradientLrn and @chanzuckerberg to help teachers have easier, more meaningful check-ins with students, is now available to ANY teacher in the U.S.! Sign up and start today to #KnowEachStudent https://t.co/IstRTho7mk

Proud & excited to share that @Along_org, a digital reflection tool designed by @GradientLrn & @ChanZuckerberg to help teachers have more meaningful check-ins with students, is now available! Supporting teachers to #KnowEachStudent

It's time for us to re-consider what outcomes we want for our students and realize that well-being + academic success need to be intertwined, especially now. Let's start supporting our students by supporting our teachers - these next years are critical.

When individuals unite, one's words can become a movement's words. AAPI leaders across sectors and industries are here together to say #enough is enough. Join us at https://t.co/ZOz1S11tQ7 to help protect our vulnerable and bend the world towards justice for all. #stopasianhate

So much of learning is believing someone believes you can. We've built tools like @along_org a video journal to help teachers engage students more holistically through shared reflection - so important on many levels these days @czi @GradientLrn

FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM: “We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” The 22-year-old is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history: https://t.co/SIPU57hEKH

“The U.S. has a long history of shockingly poor conditions + constitutionally inadequate medical care for people incarcerated.” #COVID can help us rethink our approach to justice. Read how from @stand_together’s Brian Hooks and Priscilla Chan

So proud to partner with Gradient Learning on the pilot phase of Along (@along_org) — a new interactive video journal that’s helps teachers connect with students whether in the classroom or remote

Student-teacher relationships are the core of setting students up for success. Along is a video journal that helps teachers connect with students, no matter the #learning environment. Partner with us today. https://t.co/wq9tZvXUcy

We must ensure every student has equitable access to a high quality education that supports both their learning and their well-being — one that systematically serves black students with compassion, commitment and care. Black lives have always mattered.

#TeacherAppreciationWeek is over but our gratitude doesn't end for all the teachers going to extraordinary lengths to stay connected with their students during #COVID19. Read about these 3 incredible teachers who are getting creative with remote learning:

#DearTeachers, thank you for your passion and tireless dedication to help your students learn and grow. Your support makes a difference in the lives of students every day. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek https://t.co/fY55m3l64R

Teachers make a difference every day in our communities, like the teacher who adopted my father and set him on the course to college. Join @AFTUnion to #ThankAHero and celebrate all teachers do to support students #TeacherAppreciationWeek
