I had such productive meetings this week with the Principal & Teacher Advisory Councils, along with District leadership, discussing Leveling Updates, our new communications system Let's Talk, and Math & ELA Curriculum at @PHLschools. Looking forward to our next discussion! #PHLED

Principals are one of the most important catalysts for student success, and in turn, the success of our society. Shout out a principal this Principal Appreciation Day! #SchoolPrincipalsDay #PHLed

@davidphardy @AJLivingston7 @lfeinberg @chrislehmann @PhillyCharters I didn't criticize any schools! And the deal is: I just saw an organized, professional advocacy campaign try to remake the mayor's proposed #Phled school board. The public deserves to know who funded the campaign, so I'm asking. (On my own, I should add. Nobody's paying me)

@teacherinphilly #Phled trying to drive out the counselors now too?

SCT is the highest teacher pay scale. Nurses cannot attain that salary grade because they are not a part of the same bargaining unit. So salary upgrades are one way counselors reap the benefit of being in the teacher unit. Class coverage is the downside. #PhlEd 2/2

Here's the issue: as long as counselors are part of the teachers bargaining unit (unlike nurses with their own bargaining unit), they are subject to the contractual requirements of the unit (good or bad). For example, counselors can become "senior career teachers" 1/2 #PhlEd

But a system based on the data-driven Goals & Guardrails ™️ is the antithesis of joy #PhlEd

CM Landau asking specific and relevant questions about social and academic supports for #PhlEd children. Refreshing

CM Rue Landau asks #PhlEd Supt about counselors being pulled from their duties to cover classes. Watlington says ongoing conversations w/ PFT.

There's nothing worse than people who don't understand education asking education questions. They often want to sound right instead of wanting information that is helpful #phled

Commentary: Shame on those who tainted teacher who was only trying to do good. (Re Council questions on teacher jail) #PhlEd inquirer.com/philly/opinion…

A lot of the @PHLCouncil questions are basically “how much more time are you going to have students doing test prep” #PhlEd

CM Nina Ahmad asking about classroom supports. Specific question from @PHLCouncil should be: will you restore classroom aides and other support staff that Hite eliminated? #PhlEd

I have known and worked with Joyce Wilkerson since 1985. Her dedication and genuine compassion make her the right selection for Mayor Parker’s first appointed school board. @PhillyMayor @Philaschools @PHLCouncil #phled

CM Bass asks about year-round school. Watlington refers to a pilot program. Does anyone in @PHLCouncil want to ask how SDP is going to pay for this? Bass asking good questions now. #PhlEd

You can’t miss the undercurrent of resentment in some of Council’s questions today #PhlEd

CM Gilmore Richardson asks AGAIN how SDP will fix website to direct new #PhlEd students/families to their nearest PUBLIC school. JGR has asked this question for years 🤷🏼‍♀️
