So excited to finally have this out in the world! #edusky

Iowa's largest school district faces a turbulent start to the year, dealing with both the arrest of Superintendent Ian Roberts by federal immigration officers and a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into its hiring practices.

The bravest among us continuing to be brave.

This truly showcases how close we are… we all care about our kids and can put aside partisanship and do what’s best for our future leaders. #digitalequity

What’s in a name? Let’s talk about the names of the immigrants and citizens who are being disappeared and the traumatic impact on their families and children.

Call to action by @KekerLLP re: Trump’s lawless attack on the legal profession: “It violates the 1st Amendment, contravenes fundamental due process rights and imperils the 6th Amendment right to counsel…If we stand together & fight, we will win.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/o...

New from @thebeacon.bsky.social: Schools look to landmark Supreme Court ruling to protect immigrant students from ICE. All4Ed's @rebecalynda.bsky.social ford weighs in as the article addresses concerns about rights of students in schools and Plyler V. Doe. Read here:

The entire Office of EdTech (OET) is gone via today’s RIF. Just wow. Having worked so closely with that office for the past decade, my heart hurts. Such incredible work, including the launch of FutureReady, SETDA, DigitalPromise and much more… and led by amazing people over the years. No words.😔

Big things are happening over here. We’re taking a break this week to bring you a very special episode next week… you might want to turn on notifications. It’ll be a good one! @realjennofdc.bsky.social @rebecalynda.bsky.social

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Check out this Op-Ed from EdTrust-Tennessee's Executive Director, Alexza Barajas Clark as she discusses the Tennessee immigration bill that pits public school educators against their students. (1/4) edtru.st/3DjC0EI

I am looking forward to spending some time on "On Point" tomorrow to discuss if edtech is actually helping students learn...https://www.wbur.org/radio/programs/onpoint/episode Tune in March 6th at 10 am EST

Tomorrow: Schools are investing billions of dollars into edtech, but is it actually helping students learn better? @askadam3.bsky.social will be discussing this with On Point at 10am! Be sure to tune in: wbur.org @wbur.org @npr.org

New @all4ed.bsky.social data is clear + consistent says @afhyslop.bsky.social : When given a choice btwn ⬆️federal💰for public schools vs. vouchers, a majority of voters—regardless of age, gender, race, political views, or education level—pick public schools. all4ed.org/blog/the-pub...

Have you seen the data? @delauro.house.gov has. 👀 In our education exit poll, 68% of voters pick increasing $$ for public schools, not private school vouchers. #SpeakUpForEd #SupportPublicSchools More here: bit.ly/OpinionatED

Libraries need your support! Take action to support libraries at buff.ly/41eAGMI!

We have a consistent issue with this line of thinking politically - you can't fail to fund something, work to sabotage it, and then stand around asking why it didn't work. Let's stop the political games and actually fund programs that we know work for our students. #edusky

Umm, Can We Get A Minute? 🤔 ICYMI: join Jazmin Flores Peña, @realjennofdc.bsky.social, and @rebecalynda.bsky.social for this week's podcast episode where we explore the complex world of English learners and what that can mean for those in our school systems. Watch here: youtu.be/rdXjaZbo-SU

Yesterday, House Rs lied and said the people do not want public schools. Today, my brilliant colleague (and friend!) @afhyslop.bsky.social tells the truth of what the people really want! #ProtectPublicSchools #OpinionatED all4ed.org/blog/the-pub...

Don't miss out on All4Ed's new podcast, @getaminutepod.bsky.social! This week, Jazmin Flores Peña talks with @realjennofdc.bsky.social and @rebecalynda.bsky.social about the complex world of English learners, dual language learners, and bilingual education. #EDUsky youtu.be/rdXjaZbo-SU?...

We need to stop blaming teachers for everything. In 2020, WV teachers averaged $44k. In 2025, it’s $53k. To afford to buy a house in WV, you need an annual income of $118k. Teachers and their salaries are not to blame for the challenges we see in ED.

Teachers will always “say the thing”

At some level, it gets impossible to sit here and track + fact-check the flagrant nonsense back down from conservative fever dreams to the nuanced, serious, important truths about what works in K–12 education...when they don't really care about the facts.

Umm, Can We Get A Minute? 🤔 Tomorrow join Jazmin Flores Peña, @realjennofdc.bsky.social, and @rebecalynda.bsky.social for a NEW podcast episode where we explore the complex world of English learners. It's an INCREDIBLE discussion you won't want to miss! #EDUsky

Happy Valentine’s to all, and a huge thank you to the many Senators who stood up for our public schools and for the U.S. Department of Education in McMahon’s hearing yesterday!

We're showing some love to @pattymurray.bsky.social, Senator Baldwin, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @lisamurkowski.bsky.social, Senator Hassan, @bluntrochester.senate.gov, @kim.senate.gov, Senator Marshall, @kaine.senate.gov, Senator Collins, and @markey.senate.gov!

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote against Robert F. Kennedy's confirmation for Health and Human Services secretary on Thursday.

Linda McMahon is on the record now saying it is "not the President's plan to defund the programs" in ED, but our educators, students, and families deserve details for the many critical programs that provide support, services, and even food for children nationwide.

Right now during #DLDay LIVE, @shannonmmiller.bsky.social and other #FutureReady librarians are talking about the role school librarians play in educational evolution, as well as digital wellness and instructional innovation. Good stuff! #EDUSky Tune in now: all4ed.org/activity/dld...

Use your voice to support our nation’s public education system. Sign the letter to protect the key functions of ED and ensure the next secretary does as well. www.all4ed.org/publiced

@edmarkey.bsky.social “DOGE stands for department of gutting education” …. bring that heaaaaaaaat #speakupfored

A culturally responsive computer program? So making sure that the computer program has references kids know - like tractor in rural Iowa - is bad?!?

Senator Banks is mischaracterizing the protests of educators in the room. They care SO much about our nation’s children that they are standing up for them. And I stand with them. #speakupfoed

As a longtime WWE executive Linda McMahon now in her wheelhouse as committee questions move to the issue of pervasive sexual harassment, assault.

Voters agree with @sanders.senate.gov. 68% of voters want to increase funding for public schools over vouchers. We let the voters speak for themselves, our next Education Secretary should too. #SpeakUpforEd #Edusky

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Kendrick Lamar's show was more than just a rap performance, our columnist writes. "It was a critique of American culture on what many consider an unofficial holiday in America, Super Bowl Sunday. It was definitely a gutsy decision." nyti.ms/41bFCC3

Go to the IES website to download any #education data you may need into the future. Musk’s DOGE bros illegally cancelling research contracts at IES and across our nation’s research entities. This will set our nation’s effectiveness, efficiency, & innovation back decades. #edusky @all4ed.bsky.social

Listen to latest @getaminutepod.bsky.social episode. @rebecalynda.bsky.social @realjennofdc.bsky.social & @amyloyd.bsky.social discuss the impacts of recent immigration executive orders have on students and teachers. all4ed.org/podcast/can-...

We are the culture.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
