Call to action for National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals members and general public! Federal spending for education is only 2% - this is a national security issue! Our children and future of the United States demands a greater investment! #naespNLC #PrincipalsAdvocate

TITAN UP! #TitansCelly is taking home the #BudLightCelly of the week!

Teachers say kids in K-3 need science & social studies but still spend little time on them--largely b/c of testing. And if they do cover, e.g., animals, they're likely to focus on a "skill" like "author's purpose," not animals. My latest for Forbes: forbes.com/sites/nataliew…

What educators/parents are prioritizing to help kids right now: -Instruction -Technology -Relationships What nobody is talking about to help kids: -State Tests Let that sink in, & think hard about what might need to change when we return. #BoldSchool #edchat #QuarantineLife
