Let’s pass the Equality Act – to ensure LGBTQ+ Americans can live with safety and dignity.

A reminder to #bced (everyone?) that competencies & content are not a binary choice. Competencies are about thinking, but you have to think about something.

Competencies without content = fluff.
Content without competencies = trivia.
Competencies with content = 21C thinking

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The ultimate purpose of education is to change an empty mind into an open one.

If you wanna be a good teacher, teach open-mindedness, teach enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, heuristics, and values.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Many educators see the value in work-based learning opportunities, but the logistical challenges can be daunting. @kschwart
