Support Is Growing for ‘Thrive Act,’ Which Would Implement a Modified Standards-Based Graduation Requirement and a New ‘Comprehensive Support and Improvement’ System for High-Need Schools #Thrive

The Thrive Act would establish a modified graduation requirement based on coursework, rather than high-stakes standardized testing, & implement a new comprehensive support & improvement system designed to empower local communities & give students the tools & resources they need.

Lots of #AFTVoices this week! Next up is Jenna Young. We talked with her about the importance of libraries and what they mean for community! Read more here: buff.ly/41F8H5w

'The conversation that does actually create fear we are not solving...the point by these cultural war operators....is to widen the despair, widen the anxiety and not actually solve the problems we need to solve which is gun violence' - Randi Weingarten 🇺🇦🇺🇸💪🏿👩‍🎓🟣 w/ Nicolle Wallace

This is shocking, and so wrong.

🗓️On Tuesday, 3/28 at 9 AM ET, Randi Weingarten 🇺🇦🇺🇸💪🏿👩‍🎓🟣 will deliver a major address, “In Defense of Public Education.'
