If you care about public school governance, this post by @rpondiscio is definitely worth your time.

A school board trustee should have high expectations for student outcomes. No longer should the trustee use the demographics of their district as an excuse for poor performance.

A study of school board members shows why they are so vulnerable to institutional capture: They're "dominated by people steeped in education’s internal culture, not by independent-minded representatives of the broader community."

“It’s such a long process. There are so many minds to change.”

Great article reviewing the contrast in the level of acceptance of teaching based on learning science in England vs the US.

So many minds to change - the children are depending on us to get this right!

“Go slow to go fast” is my least favorite quote in reading advocacy.

Kids don’t have years for us to get this right.

Large urban districts need to be laser-focused on the task of ensuring that every student is taught to become a proficient reader. We must use every dollar efficiently to support this effort, and that includes using our facilities wisely. Tough decisions are required.

Fort Worth ISD made a promise: put literacy first.

Now, trustees are making the tough decisions to keep that promise, starting with consolidating schools.

Here’s why that matters 🧵
