Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?

February is Black History Month! Summit School is dedicated to addressing systemic inequities and eliminating opportunity gaps. We commit to amplifying multiple points of view, including authors and characters of color.

It's long past time to pay teachers more. When districts gain flexibility to raise teacher salaries, students improve in math & reading. Schools attract better teachers—and they put in more effort. The quality of our children's education depends on how much we value teachers.

I am excited to present with the amazing Preston Broadus, Esq. at the 2024 NNSTOY National Teacher Leadership Conference. We are elevating equity, leadership & policy, and practice. Register at:buff.ly/48w1WX6. Secure funding available at: buff.ly/3OZJbom #NNSTOY2024
