Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
The latest in our series exploring key topics in the Detroit school board election has candidates reflecting back on 10 years of the Detroit Public Schools Community District.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS
The case for multimodal learning in today's classroom
Every student brings to the classroom different background knowledge and learning needs. Modern research suggests that multimodal instruction — combining modalities and learning experiences to support access and understanding — can reduce learning barriers, especially for students with disabilities and language-learning needs.
Join us for a conversation focused on what the research shows about how students engage with, interpret, and communicate understanding across different formats and walk away with a practical framework for building multimodal instruction into everyday teaching.

Detroit students need more support. Their schools deserve more credit. Bridge Detroit (Opinion)
