One characteristic of extraordinary teachers is that they're not fazed by kids who challenge them; indeed, they welcome this. They're willing to reconsider what they've said, secure enough not to need to have the last word, & aware that arguing may help to sharpen kids' thinking.

Excited to be co-leading our awesome RI Team w/ @Riebate75 advocating 4 IDEA funding, strengthening the pipeline of special educators, and mental health matters! @davidcicilline #SELS2021 @SenWhitehouse @SenJackReed @JimLangevin @ameyer1026 👏👏👏👏

Last month, SkillsRI and Partnership for Rhode Island brought forth a logo design challenge to public high schools across Rhode Island. Over 50 students participated and students from Coventry High School as the design contest winners.

Congratulations and great work!
