    Really disheartening news. has one of the hardest and most important jobs i can name. He’s spent 2 weeks making it harder than it needs to be for reasons I can’t get my head around

    Ferebee in his own words 2/12/19 : “I envision a system that shares its triumphs and, more importantly, its challenges, transparently.”

    Affordability, and wages for early educators are huge issues. Happy to see discussing this issue (and our research), but it would have been great to see lift up the Child Care for Working Families Act here.

    This is who hired to stop teachers unionizing effort. This is NOT okay. Schools-LIVE. YOUR. VALUES. No matter what you think of unionizing- this insulting, racist hostility is not okay. What message does it send to those we serve? Since is betrayal. Speak out.

    What’s hard to watch in DC is that sometimes school improvement happens *in spite of* central office. For too long it’s been central versus entire school communities. When can we move to the we?

    . The greatest unit of change is at the school level and schools need both autonomy and accountability for quality to be successful.

    TIL I'm left of on paternity leave.

    I’d like to share another “unusual” (but shouldn’t be) part of my office policy w/ you all: Parental Leave! Three members of our small team are expectant or new parents in the first 6 mos of my term. In my office, *every* new parent receives 3 mos paid leave - including dads.

    Seriously? [!]

    Replying to @mikemadowitz
    Per policy, Principal Turner appealed his evaluation. He never received a response to his appeal (unless of course you consider a hand-delivered non-renewal letter the response). Where’s the due process?
