“For those who believe integration should no longer be a priority, or those who follow the misguided belief that integration serves no purpose at all, one thing is true—shrugging our shoulders or directly opposing the goal of educational diversity is a threat to our country’s democracy.”

“The success of all three ballot initiatives underscore an appetite for government action to combat racism, a rejection of the manufactured hysteria around ‘CRT’ (Critical Race Theory), and a mandate for elected officials to prioritize racial equity work on behalf of their constituents.”

“In educating the public, we have an obligation to teach the truth about the world. We have a responsibility to develop a critical and social consciousness of our youth to contextualize our past in order to solve our most pressing, existential problems today.”

Competency Collaborative featured in The New York Times

“The New York City Department of Education has a growing program called the Competency Collaborative (formerly Mastery Collaborative), which helps mastery-based schools share their methods around the city, even as they adopt different styles. To date, there are eight lab schools, whose practices are being tested, honed and highlighted for transitioning schools…The Education Department plans to spread the method further, by inviting schools to see how the Mastery Collaborative works, even if they aren’t yet considering making the switch. They will be encouraged to attend workshops and tour schools, with the hope, one D.O.E. official said, that they will find elements that they can use in their own classrooms.”
