From the transcript
In our current partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage, we help district teams look at how their academic, behavioral, and mental health supports fit together to decide what's to improve I ask you to keep in support for professional development to have a qualified educator in front of each child in the definition of an adequate education and to include the cost of providing both in the proposed equity and adequacy study. Statewide partners like ASDN can help districts share expertise and make professional learning accessible. Districts also need the resources to give teachers the time, the work, the workday to learn together. And to put new practices to work and to see how those practices help their students. Thank you for your recognizing the support Alaskan educators in this part of providing an adequate education for every child in Alaska.
