Yes, pay attention Superintendents! We need you on board to ensure #EquityLiteracy #SuptChat #eduar

pgorski Aug 24 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Yes! But almost never do. And leaders who do generally aren't rewarded with superintendent positions. But this is the shift we need!

Somebody give @Sean_Mc_Manus a superintendency pronto! #EduAR

Sean_Mc_Manus Aug 24 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Districts who make addressing the gap a goal, need to have a bigger political voice and presence.

We should do a whole chat on the damage done to kids pressured to show "school spirit" for schools that oppress them. #EduAR #EquityLiteracy

Wear your school spirit clothing, Kleenex boxes for extra credit, what do your parents do for a living...
