More work is needed to enhance educator diversity in New York, however, it is crucial to acknowledge and draw lessons from the progress made across the state in offering increased opportunities for teachers and school leaders from diverse backgrounds. Our latest report on educator diversity draws lessons from how the New York State Education Department (NYSED), local school districts, institutions of higher education, schools, and advocates are working toward improving educator diversity.

Discipline and love...can't we have both? "In so many debates around school culture, the discussion falls into two poles: do children need strict boundaries, penalties, discipline, and high expectations, or should we focus on nurturing the whole child, supporting them, and helping them grow in a climate of love and security. But this is a false dichotomy. As adults, we should not have to pick between either of these aims; in fact, unless we integrate them, we are unlikely to achieve the schools that we are looking for, and so many children desperately need." - Mr Tom Bennett Join us for our 4th Research Conversations Conference in which our keynote speaker, Mr Tom Bennett will discuss this thought-provoking topic and unpack the ways in which cultures of high expectations and high regard are intrinsic to one another, and how the best schools and teachers achieve it.

So, so excited to announce that I will be presenting a full-day pre-conference workshop at the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE) Annual Conference this June with the extraordinary Divya Bheda, PhD: Many Paths to Justice: Actionable Strategies for Transforming Assessment Practices through an Anti-Racist Lens (All audiences) Equity gaps persist throughout higher education. We want to be agents of change, but lack practical strategies for dismantling racialized barriers. In this highly-interactive workshop, we examine Okun’s framework of White Supremacy Culture, which positions White Supremacy not as individual bias, but as a network of cultural beliefs, attitudes, and structures, both covert and overt, that uphold the false notion that whiteness itself is valuable. We will explicate its components and foster reflective discussions of how they have shaped assessment. Participants will co-construct actionable strategies to disrupt White Supremacy Culture in higher education. The goal is not to shame or blame, but to foster a brave space in which to transform assessment toward social justice. This is far and away my favorite conference to attend, so please join us!

Life Advice for The Next Generation "Right now there are wars raging on nearly every continent. It’s almost as if the adults are doing everything they can to break this world before you inherit it. The only solution I see is to grow the compassion and empathy you need to pick up the broken pieces. Look to the kindness that we show the displaced, the refugees. Let that kindness define the new world you can build. Advice number one: Accept your human imperfections Advice number two: Find your own path Advice number three: Travel. And now my final piece of advice: Look up: Put the phone down and look up. Because the world is a beautiful place and you don’t want to let it pass you by. Now it’s not going to be easy. But make sure you go out there and live life with all of its beauty and imperfections. Meet new people. Eat amazing food you’ve never even heard of before. Get your heart broken. Break someone else’s heart. And then do better next time."
