📚 @mayorbowser.bsky.social & Office of Planning: As you shape #DC2050, please prioritize:
1️⃣ #Literacy-rich public spaces in every ward
2️⃣ Affordable housing for educators tied to teaching in DC
Our city’s future depends on how we support readers and those who teach them. #LiteracyMatters #DCEd
🚨 Congress cut $1.1B from DC’s budget—including $190M from @dcpublicschools & $166M from charters. #Literacy programs are on the line.
📚 I’m advocating for smarter investments—now & in #DC2050.
🎥 Watch & act: call Congress, take the survey 👉 DC2050.com
DC is building something special with the DC Reading Clinic.
Let’s work to scale this model across every DC school—and share its success nationwide so more students benefit from what works.

Shoutout to Principal Derek Gorham, Dr. Behr who leads the Clinic, Jim Klein (DC Ed Fund), Chancellor Ferebee for uplifting this work in his op-ed:

& thanks to all the partners advancing science of reading reforms across DC!
Got to meet some incredible #reading instructors & coaches today!
It might sound wonky, but we have to talk about how science of reading coaching matters—not just for new teachers, but for continued growth & learning.
The DCRC model is non-evaluative, focused, and personalized.
Stopped by CW Harris Elementary today—one of DC’s high-progress DIBELS schools & a DC Public Schools Reading Clinic site!
Incredible to see how DCRC supports teachers to accelerate student reading growth through structured #literacy training & expert coaching.
Dinner with former DCSBOE Student Rep. Liv Birnstad, including my Ward 1 & 8 colleagues & current student rep!
Tonight, we’re tackling a big issue: How does DC expand access to advanced coursework?
Ward 2 families have been clear—they want more rigor, and some are even leaving public schools to find it elsewhere. Let’s change that.
Join the discussion tonight!
