When a Westword reporter, Hannah Metzger, reached out for an interview I felt nervous. During the interview I teared up more than once. Especially as I recalled Mrs. Walsh, a transformational teacher in Lousiana, how much I love this profession and why I believe healing centered classrooms are key in supporting vulnerable students. This journalist captured my heart and it once again makes me grateful for the writers and journalists that carry our stories into the world. I hope you get a chance to read it. ?? ??

(APA) and Afton Partners (Afton) are partnering with the Colorado Department of Education to determine the costs necessary to provide elementary and secondary students an education that meets the state’s educational goals. As part of this effort, APA is reaching out to members of the public (students, parents, educators, district and school leaders, community members, business groups, advocates, and policymakers) to ensure that their perspectives on resources, staffing, and programs in schools are considered as part of this work. ? We want to hear from you! Link to Survey:?https://lnkd.in/ghM4R-gR Responding to this survey will help state policymakers better understand the voices of the Colorado public on what they value at their school and the resources they would prioritize if additional funding was available to their school. This survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete and the survey will be open until?September 30, 2024. ? I already completed a survey from AIR, is this the same? No, this is a separate survey focusing on resources and funding available to districts and schools, while the AIR survey focuses on student outcomes and types of educational programs.??We encourage individuals to complete both surveys if possible. ? What about my privacy and confidentiality? This is a voluntary and confidential survey. You are not obligated to participate and can skip any question you are not comfortable answering. To encourage honest responses to the survey questions, we are not collecting any information that would allow you to be identified. ? Questions?
