The Halloween party starts at 8. Everyone is there by 10:30, but you're at home arguing with mom about your curfew. You arrive past midnight. You are Florida's ESSA plan #eduween18

Carry a stake for protection. Talk to everyone you know about the dangers of vampires. You are Stakeholder Engagement #eduween18

Being Commissioner of Ed for TN and Bill Haslam has been the honor of a lifetime. I am so encouraged by our students’ and teachers’ successes and excited to continue to support great teaching in a new role with National Institute for Excellence in Teaching

Dug into my teaching experience to offer some policy commentary. Bottom Line: Teachers need both strong curriculum AND instructional supports to create rich learning opportunities for their students. niet.org/newsroom/featu…

Our students deserve more women leaders in education. I’m excited to welcome the new Chiefs for Change #FutureChiefs cohort and learn what must be done to elevate women leaders #WomenLeadingEd

Appreciate National Center on Education & the Economy - NCEE Marc Tucker’s smart take on teaching and school reform. You have to improve pay and working conditions alongside raising standards- otherwise you either repel teachers or raises costs #HighPerformanceSystems

This makes sense- we learn best from people we respect and who respect us. This is another good reason to invest in teacher leaders to lead professional learning for their peers

Next Wednesday, come join National Institute for Excellence in Teaching on Capitol Hill for what will be an exciting discussion on the impact of teacher leader roles and how our leaders can invest in teacher leadership! #InvestToLead

⬇️ TOMORROW: Come listen to an all-star panel of ed leaders discuss opportunities to invest in teacher leadership!

I believe teacher leadership can transform professional learning for teachers. National Institute for Excellence in Teaching’s brand new report offers practical steps that leaders at every level can take to make teacher leadership a reality in every school #InvesttoLead bit.ly/investtolead

"We need to have a larger national conversation about how do we formalize what teacher leadership is, in a way that actually moves student growth" Couldn't agree with Candice McQueen more! blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teach…

I'm deeply impressed with @PerryTwpSchools commitment to serving their refugee students and English Learners (who speak a combined 73 languages!). You can read more about their remarkable work here: niet.org/our-work/stori…

Excited to hear @LouisianaSupe discuss National Institute for Excellence in Teaching's TAP System as an exemplary system for providing professional development and feedback for educators. Strong teacher prep is key, but continued, job-embedded support is just as important.

Principals need support, but too often what they receive isn't designed to meet their unique needs. I loved learning how Nathan Langlois of Austin-East HS in Knox County Schools brought his coaching vision to life with help from National Institute for Excellence in Teaching and Natalie Szakacs niet.org/our-work/stori…

You don't need to be a wonk to understand Candice McQueen's clear vision for how teacher leaders can support their colleagues and improve student learning!

Today I joined NCSL’s "Our American States" podcast to discuss how the federal stimulus package can help states support schools and students during #COVID19 Listen here: ncsl.org/our-american-s…

Thanks for having me on the podcast!
