My spirit is full, after a return to Wake Forest earlier this week! I spent nearly 7 years here, honing my craft as higher practitioner, scholar, teacher, and artist. 1/3

Never ever underestimate them. Revere them. Respect them. Pay them more. Let them be the professionals they are. I’ll do that as North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Never underestimate a public school teacher.

Nearly 70 children are on a 6-week journey of literacy enrichment & college campus immersion @WakeForest's Freedom School. It’s part of a national initiative by @ChildDefender to combat summer learning loss & foster a deep love for reading. 📖 wxii12.com/article/freedo…

School is out & it's usually a time for kids to relax and have fun, but it can lead to learning loss known as the “summer slide.” 🛝 Check out @WXII's story on how #FreedomSchool @WakeForest is making sure that students keep up on their reading skills. 📚 wxii12.com/article/parent…

🍎 @WRAL: “North Carolina needs a competent Superintendent of Public Instruction who believes ALL children MUST have a quality education. Leading public schools downward is not an option.” It’s why I’m running to be your next NC State Superintendent. wral.com/story/editoria…
