CCSSO Fall Collaboratives are in full swing! Over 600 state ed leaders from all over the country leading, learning and networking together to make an impact. We welcome 3 new advisors to Collaboratives and can’t wait to see how they engage our members. #StatesLeading #CCSSO

Donna Elam, Senior Advisor for the Equity Center and Sonja Robertson, Executive Director for School Improvement for Mississippi, are sharing with state leads about how equity indicators grounds the work of schools and can serve as a blueprint for action. #CCSSO #StatesLeading

I officially passed the baton of leading the School and District Improvement Collaborative to my friend and colleague, Carlas McCauley, EdD. Carlas has done a wonderful job elevating the discussion of school and district improvement being the embodiment of equity in action.

Seena M. Skelton, Ph.D. shifted our thinking of how we address systemic inequities in these challenging times. The tools she shares directly impact state education agencies in how we position diversity, equity and inclusion in our roles as educators in schools and districts.

Thank you to our 2022-23 Board of Directors, elected by CCSSO membership today: Kirsten Baesler, Johnny Key of Arkansas Department of Education, Sydnee Dickson, @KatyAnthes @danfrench, @DCSuptGrant, Eric Mackey, Penny Schwinn & Karla Eslinger #StatesLeading
