Tag team, back again! The CCES trio reunited today at the #VAESP26 to share our story through Hacking School Culture and Beyond the Framework: Bridging MTSS. It was great to reconnect, reflect on our journey, and share the work that continues to shape @ccesdukes ! #WeAreCUCPS

It is always a pleasure to hear @PrincipalKafele @TeachersPromise “We’re not trying to close an achievement gap. We’re trying to close an attitude gap!Increase the will and the skill will take care of itself!”

Way to go!!!

“Love is actually High Expectations!” @chrisemdin Hands down , one of the best keynotes! @VATLL_VASCD
