Innovation in action from @James_Cryan @RockyMtnPrep & Team! Also love seeing Compass from @valorcollegiate @rtodddickson @jdarendickson &
team, sharing their learnings/best practices with schools of all kinds, nationwide. Whatever works best for kids!

When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it.
This is our mood today.
When one of us needs us: We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other.
I love the soccer. I love women.

Great effort to increase parent awareness of / engagement in @MetroSchools.
On September 5th, Nashville P.R.O.P.E.L hosted an at large mixer and mayoral candidate forum on education. Our goal was to create a space where authentic parents could address issues surrounding the education crisis, ask real questions, and demand change!

"If you learn to lean into discomfort and learn to accept that being uncomfortable is an essential part of growth and #learning, you are going to be really primed to learn," said @rtodddickson @EdSurge ow.ly/VxK950vN0jP #edchat #SEL
This was our best year ever in terms of trajectory changing results. I am most proud of how consistently strong results were - class after class, grade level after grade level. Great job team Valor :)

Really interesting to see the demographic differences between these 3 public @MetroSchools options:
-Magnet low income is only 9%, ELL is only 2%, SWD is only 3% !
-Charter low income, minority, ELL numbers are all higher than zoned. SWD is 2 ppts lower.

2/3rds of voters place high priority on providing public school options that include access to public #charterschools, magnets, and career academies. Still, there were differences in prioritization by race/ethnicity w/ Black/White gap at 25 % points. #NationalCharterSchoolsWeek

It's nice to wake up to a day where the breaking news is that scientists have captured the first image of a black hole. Let us pause to rejoice in the creativity, determination, hard work, and collaborations of those who extend the frontiers of human knowledge. Yay science!

Priscilla Chan discussed new approaches & models in education that stem from #collaboration. She mentioned @valorcollegiate, who value social & emotional development as much as academics: "think that's too touchy-feely? They rank in top 5% schools in Tennessee" #ASUGSV2019
Thanks Priscilla for seeing the value in our work for both kids and adults. :)
