Asst Sec of U.S. Department of Education Amy Loyd, Ed. L.D.: “We can’t just return to normal, because normal wasn’t working for all of us.” We should respond to the pandemic by building a more equitable education system grounded in #linkedlearning.#LLConference2023

Kicking off our morning at #LLconference2023 with the amazing Linda Darling-Hammond! Linda is reminding us that "Education is inherently civil rights work." ABSOLUTELY!

Thrilled to have friends and colleagues from Gates Foundation EmployIndy E3 Alliance Greater Phoenix Chamber sharing what they've learned through the #AccelerateED initiative! #LLconference2023

"What would it look like to design a transition-free experience for students?" Great framing from Kyle Seipp on how the E3 Alliance challenges themselves in college acceleration work! #LLconference2023 #AccelerateED

We need to flip the script on the "access"! Design for the students furthest from opportunity. Stop talking about "students not engaging". Instead, focus on "the system isn't serving" students who aren't represented in programs. YES Kyle Seipp!! #LLconference2023 #AccelerateED

When we fail to communicate the full range of early postsecondary opportunities to ALL students, those excluded interpret that to mean that educators don't believe in them. 💔💔 Jennifer Mellor sharing what she learned through talking to students. #LLconference2023 #AccelerateED

The new CCAP RFA is out! Grants for new CCAP agreements and to expand existing CCAPs (to more schools, to serve more students, and to provide robust supports) Hurrah for California #DualEnrollment Check it out here: cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r17/ccap…

Who is enrolled in dual enrollment programs? Are the students taking advantage of the programs the ones who would most benefit from them? Without access to data, policymakers can’t answer questions like these. See how states can ensure better data access: bit.ly/3YO53pi
