May we finally stop the academic and developmental bleed-out from the pandemic and start delivering what people want from our public education system.

Last February, I made ten predictions regarding education policy and practice and promised to grade my work. In the spirit of accountability, here’s how I did!

When schools step away from inclusivity, they’re not making anyone safer—they’re leaving communities of color vulnerable and perpetuating the inequities baked into the system.
