🚀 Exciting updates from the education innovation front! It was great to see Secretary Linda McMahon take time to visit Arizona Autism Charter Schools winner of 2022 Yass Prize. “When we learned that my transition [into Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Education] might happen at the end of Autism Awareness Month, I invited her [Secretary McMahon] to come see what children with autism can do with a great school with the right supports,” Diana Diaz-Harrison explains on #Edreformin10. Hear more about the incredible journey in her interview with Michael Moe! Similarly, Michael Marrone and students from Liguori Academy recount their visit to the White House on another epsiode of #Edreformin10, where they witnessed President Trump sign the executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Ed—an opportunity to observe a major policy moment up close.📚✨ These moments highlight the power of parents, leadership in special education, and the incredible impact dedicated educators have when innovation is encouraged and supported. 🎙️ Check out episode 5 of Edreform in 10 with Diana Diaz-Harrison and Michael Moe: https://www.dashmedia.co/cp/162352614 🎥 Check out episode 6 of Edreform in 10 with Michael Marrone and Jeanne Allen: https://www.dashmedia.co/p/ep-6-michael-marrone-president-and?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=57x2ja&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email 🔔 Be sure to subscribe to Innovation in Action to be in the know on all things education innovation: https://substack.com/@stopforeducation #EducationReform #SpecialEducation #InnovationInEducation (fb)
