In the cold, with our granddaughters, with our kids, as animation… her heart makes everyday Valentine’s Day! Love you tons, Paula Beck.
Missing NCSC25 in Orlando - Yes, I’m suffering from FOMO. As good as it will be, the real value must be unifying diverse perspectives & approaches around the commitment to learners & families. Anything less makes it one of many expensive summer wind exchanges. #HowAreTheChildren
Enjoyed and needed this speech. Passing it along. youtu.be/0XqmTMY3uic?si=f6JU…

Someone I respect tremendously shared this earlier. Once I wiped away my tears, I thought I’d do the same. Very worth the time. Congratulations #Classof2025

WE'RE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS! 🏆
ALT Graphic celebrating the fact that Liverpool have been confirmed as Premier League champions.
Spot on.
If kids can’t read in third grade- they are FOUR TIMES more likely to drop out of high school.
Our Nation’s #NAEP results are a five alarm fire for the future. Kids need options that work for them.

Holy smokes! On like donkey kong… LFG @realsaltlake - love Vera and Katranis even more.
While this report was released in October 2024, the title struck me today as the battle cry going forward about everything really. I believe great learning and doing opportunities matter tremendously if we want to solve the problems staring us down now and in the future.
A truly great piece by @Dyrnwyn made greater by these words: “Words matter and we should say what we mean. More importantly, we should accept what it means when we say it.” charterfolk.org/
Don’t let the ugly screenshot fool you. For kids to prepare for & create THEIR future, they must have learning opportunities that are sustainable, transformational, outstanding, and permissionless. We know what is needed, are we willing to do it?
Have had various thoughts about how we educate young people and why we do it how we do it for years. Written in 2019, so much of what Kerry McDonald presents here has become even more essential to consider in 2025 and beyond. Highly recommend this book to everyone.
