Competent reading instruction with teacher train and ongoing coaching on high-quality curriculum is the *opposite* of a "miracle." It should be the standard everywhere.
Mississippi has the best demographic-adjusted NAEP (4th & 8th grade) scores now The "Mississippi Miracle" started in 2012 when the Republican governor/legislature introduced phonics-based instruction and began to hold back ~10% of 3rd graders per year who fail a reading test

Thank you for this, Robert! Excellent piece. I hope other journalists have the time, capacity, and interest to replicate her success on other issues.
Amazing!! He's lucky to have you!
He did it! My mentee Christian is now a high school graduate! This is my 9th year as his mentor through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program; I’ve seen him overcome a lot and persevere through challenges. Great day! 🎓 @BBBS_TampaBay

We don't mess around in FL 💪🏼💪🏼
State's education department proudly dons their "We are #1" banner! Great job @CommMannyDiazJr @RonDeSantis & most of all, education entrepreneurs! #PPI24 #ParentPowerIndex @USNewsEducation

Give this man award.
This is more innovative than anything Google has done in the last 20 years
Big moves in CO on students-first funding 💪🏼
Senate Minority Leader @Paul_Lundeen's closing remarks on HB24-1448, the school finance reform bill, elevated the importance and moral imperative of funding student needs over systems. The bill is currently awaiting the Governor's signature. Read Sen. Lundeen’s remarks below:…

Big news from TX!
Congratulations to @starleecoleman, new President and CEO at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, bringing more than two decades of experience to the role. Can't wait until you start in August! See our full press release: publiccharters.org/news/starlee-c…

FL ranked #1 in higher ed tuition & fees, #2 in 2- and 4-year college grad rates, and #5 in college readiness.
Florida retains the #1 ranking in Education for a second year in a row! Thanks @GovRonDeSantis for your leadership in showing how it's done in the Education state! @EducationFL @FLBOG @FLCollegeSystem usnews.com/news/best-stat…
This is incredibly frightening.
It's worse than I thought: "Nearly a quarter of UK five-to-seven-year-olds now have their own smartphone."

A friend in a large district FL told me months ago that not a single book protested there had been by a parent with kids in the district, only activists. Thank you @JenniferCanady_ for cracking down to make sure schools aren't wasting valuable time.
Governor DeSantis Champions Legislation to Support Florida's Turnaround School Program and Parental Rights in Education
Florida Board of Education approves @SuccessCharters as a Hope Operator, paving the way for the renowned network to pursue its first-ever expansion beyond New York. This is a big win after 10-plus years of state leaders pushing to draw more top charters to urban districts
Agreed. When my 5 year old is struggling to ride her bike up a hill, I make her repeat, "I can do hard things." It's wild how much confidence and motivation it actually gives her. Learning is no different.
A good starting point would be not constantly telling kids the basic tasks of life and learning are too hard, to traumatizing, to anxiogenic for them. Kids can do hard things, and learning their multiplication facts is not even a particularly hard thing.

Pretty big news in Florida #edchoice world... @SuccessCharters founder @MoskowitzEva presenting now at @EducationFL State Board Meeting to get approval as a Hope Operator in the state.
The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
This is such a big deal & deserves even more attention. Unbelievable work by @darrylrouson & @michellesalzman this year to finally honor and compensate the survivors of Dozier. If you are unfamiliar with the horrors of Dozier: npr.org/2012/10/15/162…

Florida's Dozier School For Boys: A True Horror Story
Forensic anthropologists are working to find the unmarked graves of the 81 boys known to have died at a notorious reform school in the Florida Panhandle. The school was known for the rough treatments...
Testimony from survivors of the Dozier School is horrific. It is sickening to hear what these men endured. I commend their courage and appreciate Senator @darrylrouson bringing SB 24 forward this session. He has been a champion for survivors of Dozier and Okeechobee. @FLSenate 🙏
For the rest of the country, Valentine’s Day is about love and friendship — but for our Broward County community, it’s also a day of loss and remembrance. Six years ago today, a gunman entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — opening fire to shoot 34, kill 17, and forever…

Excited to be a part of this group and represent @mwconsulting. Thanks to @Dyrnwyn @NedStanley and the rest of @FiftyCAN for having me!
