While I didn’t write the headline to my guest essay, I know from 25 years in and around classrooms that this is a fundamental truth – supportive educators help kids thrive. desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…

Important new research. Iowa has the nation's second largest superintendent gender gap. Our supt. program at Drake is ~50/50 male/female (which is great!) but as this study shows, the issue is deeper. In Iowa, 76% of teachers are female but only 44% of principals & 15% of supts.

Incredibly impressed by the @NoBoBIG eighth graders’ presentation Iowa STEM advisory. There is no limit to what students can accomplish when given the opportunity and support. Okoboji Schools
