At long last! University admissions shifting away from exam scores will transform education in secondary schools.

I love these examples of coauthorship! We need more of this in our profession.

This certainly helps explain how the wealth gap keeps growing and the cynicism displayed by some elite toward the masses.

I just learned that Heinz owns Weight Watchers, Unilever owns SlimFast, Nestlé owns Jenny Craig, and the private equity firm behind Cinnabon & Carvel owns Atkins. The business plan of these companies is: make us all fat, then profit again from selling us weight-loss products

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The family that owns Walmart is worth more than $200 billion. The CEO of McDonalds received $18 million in compensation in 2019. Are we really supposed to believe they can’t afford to pay their workers $15 an hour? Absurd. https://t.co/LH4tXpYFQz

I like this graphic as an aid for both students and teachers when considering project based learning.

As we make learning visible, the process and sequence of learning are illuminated. This helps students see understanding as alive, perishable, and always evolving.

Absolutely true. Kids are powerful in their connection to this topic, as they often live it and are always hard wired to explore identity.

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Great eye! There has got to be some other misaligned messaging like this out there. #misalignedmessages

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

Sometimes a school's odd, archaic mascot coexists uneasily with its lofty, empty slogans...

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

No idea! It is a real struggle for many, though. My guess is the learning environment has too many cues keeping the status quo in place. That and the prospect of grading a stack of barely legible papers... 😁

[BCPS ITRT @TeresaGSimmons]

Why is this a struggle for many educators to adopt? Is it time?

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

There is much merit in deeply studying a subject. You learn much about the importance of nuance and careful consideration of detail that way.

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Without a doubt.

[Henpecked Hal @HenpeckedHal]

Is it safe to say we're all having a bad hair year?

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

I love seeing examples like this! Great to see others working to transform 'schooling' to empowering.

I wish! Plagiarism is more of a challenge and requires structures and vigilance to manage. I like the direction things are going, though.

[Tony Wagner @DrTonyWagner]

The concept of academic cheating is a dinosaur. With more ungraded formative assessments aimed at measuring progress towards mastery and with every exam being open-book and internet access permitted, there’s no need to worry about cheating. via @NYTOpinion https://t.co/SBNkNFDYxC

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Good point. There is a clear need for DI in learning and we should not be so extreme in our PBL/inquiry/etc. views that we forget it.

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Cool ideas in this article. Many could be replicated around the world.

@tvanderark shares an excellent overview of exciting and much needed ideas for changing education. The potential for change in education systems is ready to be tapped and I hope to contribute. https://t.co/7J7IXF7uRv

@AskCapitalOne I am overseas and need to deposit a check. How may I do that? Your app won't allow me to if not in the US.

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Love it! It is certainly not new information, nor the only aspect of great teaching, but it is an engaging read and what we need to reflect on from time to time. https://t.co/q4zbqh8WsN

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

All very true. Also true is how bad people are at trading short term pain for long term gain. How to overcome that predisposition?

"What if I told you there was something that you can do right now that would have an immediate, positive benefit for your brain? And that same thing could actually... protect your brain from depression, Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Would you do it?" https://t.co/kmew6isQSp

[Joseph Rosevear @JosephRosevear]

Too true.
