POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

As technology continues to reshape education, one priority must remain clear: putting students first.

At the @councilofdc’s “Technology in Schools” Hearing, @noahdougherty of @dc_charters emphasized the importance of balancing innovation with student safety, privacy, and well-being.

From listening to educators and families to preparing students for a future shaped by AI, his testimony reinforced the need for thoughtful, responsible approaches to technology that reflect the needs of every school community.

The decisions made today will shape how #DC students learn for years to come.

#DC isn’t just recovering. It’s showing what recovery can look like.

From leading the nation in post-pandemic Math and Reading growth to building on years of academic progress, D.C. students are proving that declining achievement is not inevitable.

As CEO of Accelerate, Kevin Huffman, highlights, that progress didn’t happen overnight. And it’s worth building on.

#DC students are taking center field. 🏈

A $1 million investment from @gatorade is helping expand Girls’ Flag Football across DC schools giving more students the chance to compete, build confidence, develop leadership skills, and find their voice.

For Taniyah Vincent, a junior and quarterback at @idea_pcs, that opportunity is already making an impact.

An investment in the game is an investment in the girls who will lead beyond it.

Strong schools require strong investments - and a clear understanding of how those investments reach students.

As #DC continues investing in public education, keeping equity at the center means making sure every student has the resources they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

The path to graduation should prepare students for more than a diploma - it should prepare them for what comes next.

With new graduation requirements approved by @dcsboe, #DC students will see changes to the high school experience, including a greater focus on real-world skills and more flexibility in how they earn credits.

More pathways. More practical skills. More possibilities.🎓

What makes students want to show up? Sometimes, the best people to ask are the students themselves.

Six @seatondc Elementary students sat down with #DC education leaders to share what makes them feel connected, supported, and like they truly belong at school.

Their message was clear: belonging matters. And when we listen to students, we can build schools they want to be part of.
