I loved the discussion on how to help immigrant families with other programs like work-place partnerships in districts — given how divisive this topic is and how much resistance we may see to improved equity and support for these students. It gave me some hope. Thank you @jjacobkirksey.bsky.social!

Thank you Sophia and Jacob (@jjacobkirksey.bsky.social) for being on this month's @nepc.bsky.social podcast! Given the incoming admin's threats around immigration, your insights are a valuable resource for students, families, and ed leaders. If you've got a few minutes, give it a listen!

Comments @TexasHouse hearing on uncertified teachers implying more important to have content expertise & uncertified tchrs are only in CTE. My research clarifies these “what ifs.” 1/5 uncertified tchrs don’t have a bachelor’s & they are distributed across grades/content #txlege
