    While women make up the majority of our education workforce & top cabinet level roles, they hit an unacceptable -& solvable -glass ceiling when trying to land the top Chief role. Read my op-ed @hechingerreport here: hechingerreport.org/opinion-how-to… #edchat #WomenLeadingEd @chiefsforchange

    Today marked the 45th leader I’ve supported to become a district or state superintendent. 56% are women and 64% identify as leaders of color. 34 leaders currently lead district/state systems and impact 6M students, 386k teachers, and 10.5K schools. You ready to be next? DM me!

    I have no doubt that @AInfanteGreen is the best person to lead @RIDeptEd - she’s a phenomenal, courageous leader w/ a life-long commitment to excellence for all students. I can’t wait to see @AInfanteGreen become the first parent in a decade overseeing RI education. #FutureChiefs
