Precedent is a poor reason for decisions. It calcifies the status quo without a compelling rationale.

It doesn’t matter how long a tradition has stood. If the old way is wrong, it should be challenged and changed.

Progress lies in improving the future, not defending the past.

Best 🧵 I've read recently. How different would education be if we "believed students and believed in students..."

[Blake Ellis @BlakeEllis]

Student engagement is crucial for community college students. As we reimagine what higher education looks like, it's important for all of us to fight for these opportunities.

A meeting, a service project, a trip: any one of these could be life changing for a student.

A student asked for my best leadership advice today. I'll share it with you: "Assume positive intent." Starting with the assumption that everyone is trying their best will ensure you are doing your best.

Even in error, most people aren't trying to hurt or damage you.

@cddull Truth. So many benefits of laughter, especially in the workplace. Thanks for sharing!

[Cy Wakeman @CyWakeman]

You can't stop change or even slow it down, so why not learn how to stay ready for whatever may come? That is the only way to be successful.

I think we've moved from COVID tired to COVID tense. Breath.
Center.
Care.
Listen.

Then act.

Love IS leadership - its doesn’t require a title but an ethic.

Community colleges are the future. Thank you @glamourmag for recognizing these fantastic student leaders!

Hey college leaders — you’re explicitly supposed to innovate with HEERF.

Don’t be distracted by TitleIV. Do what your students need- that’s what #StudentRelief is for 👇🏻👇🏻

@drtamaraclunis @AmarilloCollege Amarillo college is leading the way for other colleges to understand the importance of poverty informed practices! When we separate the poverty from the students and remove barriers, everyone wins

My daughter Juliette has autism. I could write a book on the number of times that her behavior has been misunderstood. I am more than thrilled that Utah is now requiring autism training for police. This needs to happen in every sector.
