Kids only hear and see certain things in their neighborhoods. We need to expose them to a variety of experiences and careers. -@RicePolitics #KIDconversations #exposure #opportunity

There is core content that students have to know to benefit from CTE. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Brit Kirwan: CTE has to be rigorous and to lead to a credential. That’s how they do it around the world. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Glenn Whitman: STEM is not being presented correctly in most schools. Content still matters. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Paula Reed: STEM is not a course. It needs to be interwoven into all courses. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Craig Rice: We need to talk to our kids about what they want for their futures instead of talking for them about their futures and telling them what they need to learn. #KIDconversations

@UofMaryland chancellor emeritus William Kerwin notes we must invest much more in children growing up in poverty and return teaching to a high status profession. @KIDMuseumMD @I_Stage #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Maria Navarro: Learning is not just happening in school but also in a bunch of different environments like @KIDMuseumMD #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Is the system designed to treat teachers as professionals? MCPS has made improvement in this but still has more work to do. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Brit Kirwan: We need to reconceptualize teaching as a high-status profession. #KIDconversations

[Jessica R. Choi @JessicaRChoi]

Solitary confinement is a punishment. We need to be more social in our learning. #KIDconversations
