I spend a lot of time reflecting on what public schools mean to families and communities. They open doors, bring people together and help every child feel supported and valued. That’s why investing in strong public schools matters. Learn more: www.publicschoolproud.org #PSW26 #PublicSchoolProud

Speaking from Minneapolis, I shared why we’re determined to do this differently than past tech rollouts. That’s why we created the National Academy for AI Instruction & why we aim to reach 400,000 members over the next five years.

Hi out there @bsky world. Have to get off that other toxic platform (have I figured out how yet? Maybe not) so here I am. Probably not posting a ton, there’s too much work to do. But we’ll see…
