At the beginning of 2024, we published a guest blog post from Dr. Vicki Phillips, CEO of the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE), reflecting on some of the big issues she believed would shape education this year. This week, we invited Dr. Phillips to take a look back and reflect on these issues once again. Here's what she shared with us: https://ow.ly/GsE950UjuSU
At the start of 2024, Dr. Vicki Phillips laid out the issues she believed would shape the year ahead in education. As we near the year's end, she revisits these critical topics: 🌐 AI and new technology to transform learning 🌐 The vital role of student and family engagement in fostering agency and belonging 🌐 Building teacher and leader pipelines 🌐 Fostering partnerships to prepare students to meet tomorrow's challenges 🌐 Rethinking assessments to include creativity and problem-solving. Thanks to the National Center for Families Learning for inviting Dr. Phillips as a guest blogger. It takes all of us working #TogetherInEd. Read her insights here: https://bit.ly/4i9OkXX
Research shows that an effective principal can improve school culture and reduce teacher turnover—creating environments where students learn more. According to The Wallace Foundation, leadership development has a larger impact on student achievement than any other district-wide initiative.

Our panel, "Having Our Say: How True Change Happens Through Collaboration," at the NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF BLACK SCHOOL EDUCATORS (NABSE) 2024 Conference was packed with energy, insights, and inspiring moments. I had the absolute pleasure of co-presenting with the amazing Shanequa Yates, Tauheedah F. Baker-Jones, Ed.L.D., and Jamie Downs — leaders who are making waves in education and paving the way for brighter futures for students. Our discussion highlighted the power of collaboration between school districts and our organizations, offering practical strategies and best practices to create scalable, lasting impact. The conversations were rich, the passion was real, and the connections we made will keep this work moving forward. It was also a joy to reconnect with friends and former colleagues—it reminded me of the power of staying connected and lifting each other up. I look forward to future opportunities to share our learning.
