📚 Did you know that 93% of public-school teachers spend an average of almost $500 of their own money on classroom supplies, and many parents spend up to $700 per child on school essentials? The reality is, too many students start the school year without the basic tools they need to succeed. But at ETS, we believe in building solutions and making a difference. 🎒📒 Thanks to the incredible generosity of our ETS staff, our Center for Advocacy and Philanthropy (CAAP) collected backpacks and school supplies to support students. But we didn’t stop there. The funds raised through this initiative will be distributed to 160 partnering schools across 13 school districts in San Antonio, Texas, ensuring that students have the resources they need to thrive. It's more than just supplies, it's about empowering students by equipping them with the tools they need. We’re not just helping them succeed in school, we’re investing in their futures and building stronger communities. Special thanks to our volunteers for your compassion and dedication.

Feedback is a critical aspect of assessment — and one that is often overlooked in favor of simply looking at scores. 📊 While many test-takers view assessments as an end to learning, and the immediate result as a final grade, they are in fact a fundamental part of the learning journey. With advancements in technology, personalized feedback from an assessment can guide test-takers toward resources to bolster their learning in areas where they struggled the most. A number on the page, while offering some insight into mastery of a subject, doesn’t paint a complete picture — it is merely a snapshot. Equipped with personalized feedback, students receive actionable steps forward to advance their learning. 💡📚 Embracing assessment to guide skill building and learning is critical for students and lifelong learners to remain relevant in today’s ever evolving world. It’s time to build beyond the numbers. What is the best piece of feedback you’ve received? Share in the comments below. 💬

There's one constant in the world — change. And it is happening faster than ever. That's why adaptability is one of the most critical durable skills to develop. But how do we remain adaptable amidst one of the greatest obstacles to progress — frustration? 2023 Washington D.C. Teacher of the Year Jermar Rountree focuses on guiding his students through framing frustration as learning in order to adapt, grow, and succeed. He teaches them that “failing isn’t the end” and to instead “fail forward.” By helping them understand where the failure occurred and what lessons they can take with them into the future, he gives his students the tools to persevere and thrive. What is a time where you had to adapt in order to grow? Comment your experiences below! #FailForward #Adaptability #Skills
