This new study from EdWeek Market Brief keeps repeating one of my biggest pet peeves in the #professionaldevelopment landscape. In a survey on "in person" and "virtual" #pd, they keep using the verb "delivered" to describe a professional development experience. You can't "deliver" development. It isn't a package. It's an ongoing, iterative process. Anybody who is "delivering" #professionallearning to #schools isn't worth the time or money. It doesn't matter if it's in person or virtual. https://lnkd.in/gc2XVPd2 #schoolleadership #schoolleaders #educationalleadership Sibme

This MLK Day, I’ve decided to reflect on the role of education in King’s life and how he defined greatness. As educators, as students, and as proponents of lifelong learning within our domain of applied financial knowledge, what can we learn from King’s stance on education? Here’s my perspective and I’d love to hear your thoughts too. https://lnkd.in/ezBnJesW Please share and comment.   #mlkday2024 #educationisgreat #serviceisgreatness #financialservices

Having been hearing the students practising their presentations for this session, I know it’s going to be a treat! Come hear directly from the students from Werribee Secondary and Kingsville Primary on their student action projects. They will share how they improved Environmental issues in their school and community environments, working in community partnerships and using content creation to inspire change! #StudentVoice #StudentAgency #GlobalCitizens #GlobalCompetence #SDGs #IDGs

Over the last two weeks, I’ve had two inspiring, but vastly different civics education experiences. One was a wonderful 11th grade civics class in New York City that I observed as they deliberated about which civic action project to select in their Generation Citizen class. And the second was a wonderful #CivicLearningWeek event in DC today. First, there is more agreement on the power and potential of civic learning than is often reported. - National Governor’s Association Chair Spencer Cox (R-UT) says it is critical that we can ground our young people in civic education which helps them to navigate complexity and have empathy. He noted that 4 in 5 American parents want schools to spend more time spend on civics. - Eric Liu deftly facilitated a discussion with US Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Coney Barrett, about civic knowledge and skills, bridging differences in the workplace and power. Justice Sotomayor shared an inspiring story about community service when she was 17, realizing that she did not need to be old enough to vote to help solve a community problem. Second, there is more disagreement amongst young people about civic issues than is often reported. - Gen-Z is not an political monolith. Over half of adult Gen-Zers, choose Independent as their party identification. The 11th graders I listened to shared personal experiences, quantitative data, asked each other provocative questions and explored traditionally “conservative” and “progressive” policy positions in the course of forty minutes. They discussed economic and social policy vigorously without canceling anyone or raising their voice. With a problem-solving mindset instead of a partisan one, they engaged in rich and complex civil discourse. Of course, the complexity is in communities and still thorny questions about belonging in our civic life. Powerful research shared today from the Rand Corporation reminded us that 20 million American students have restrictions on their social studies learning that render open discourse more difficult and reduce students sense of belonging and empathy. I’m excited to talk about this and much more in the virtual panel on Thursday afternoon as a part of Civic Learning Week. I hope you’ll join us and share your questions and reflections.

Professional learning should not be delivered--it is not a Fed Ex package.

The #CSforALLAccelerator program focuses on accelerating the progress of local communities towards fundamental standards-aligned #CSEd for all learners and increasing access to interest-driven CS learning opportunities.

The Remote vs. In-Person Debate is tiring, y’all. I love the flexibility of working remotely 🏡 (who doesn't?), but brainstorming big ideas virtually can feel...uninspired. That's where in-person collaboration shines! ✨ Here's the key: there's not one “right” answer for every person or project on every single day. Context matters! For: 🤔Brainstorming & Problem-Solving❓ - In-person time can't be beat! (And I love a good retreat!) 📋Individual Tasks & Follow-Ups ✅- Remote and WFH wins for dedicated focus time! Let's ditch the "either/or" and embrace the power of the “both/ and” in CONTEXT! And no one does in-person retreats for school system teams better than USHCA. 😉 #WFH #teamretreat #Flexibility #FutureOfWork #contextmatters

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME THE USA GOVERNMENT. THAT SAID THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR THE HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.?... NO. GOD KNOWS ALL THE HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD IS PRACTICALLY A SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE "ONLY WORKING" TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL... "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE... ARE YOU.? HOMELESS...............A OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE. EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO "HOMELESS" CURRENCY "REYGITONIUM-G" EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS EVERY TIME A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA. THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. THANK YOU FOR READING. https://lnkd.in/eT3XsGuJ https://lnkd.in/eysHM89U
