Notable Quotes (3)
This in my 25 years in education has been the most comprehensive legislation that I've seen and the quickest moving in education.
I wanted to be the person that can really speak up for them and make change when it feels like you can't make any.
I think that it's foolish to believe that really only after fifth grade that an English teacher or a reading teacher has an impact on a child's literacy journey.
