@CreditFlex There's definitely a balance. At @Socrademy we have focused on our 5C's which help with validating mastery of knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Would love to share what we've learned with anyone interested in exploring 😎

"At the end of the day, the question is this: is Massachusetts willing to make the changes? I think we're Blockbuster video in 1992 — we're not seeing Netflix coming." - Massachusetts Commissioner of Education @JeffreyCRiley underscoring the need for urgency and innovation

My 10-Year Challenge:

The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2009: $54,319

The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2019: $57,439

That’s an increase of $3,120 over 10 years. Based on the current inflation rate ($1.20 or 1.76%) it should be $65,158.

Queer Eye but it’s five librarians explaining to a Silicon Valley billionaire how the dismantling of the humanities in favor of STEM is killing democracy.

"Is it too late for me to get started?"

It's early days of software.
It's early days of filmmaking.
It's early days of storytelling and art.
It's early days of money.
It's early days of governance.
It's early days of medicine.

It's probably early days for you too.

We continue to emphasize standardized tests designed for 50% of students to miss each question & we are shocked when they do. & then blame the teachers because the test does exactly what it was designed to do. & give T’s poor evals. Is Any other profession rigged for failure?

@MBAENews @eileenrudden And the best start is through strategic thinking and design. Understanding what to look for and how to break down complex concepts can go a long way longitudinally.

But, we keep trying!

The hardest thing to do in the universe is to make the complex simple.

"The most they can get on a retake is 70%" ... what research supports this idea? If they get 100% why wouldn't they get anything less than what learning they demonstrated?

”In high schools across the U.S., a movement is underway to better prepare students for a hazy new future of work. Breaking w/ traditional schooling, these new models emphasize capabilities over knowledge —with extra weight on interpersonal skills.” @axios https://t.co/mqtLxN8ULU

[Carri Schneider, Ed.D. @CarriSchneider]

School board members, ask teachers, “what can I do to help you?” and ask students, “what can I do to help you learn?” Advice on a genuine commitment to the schools you serve from @BooherRita from @ElizCitySchools to #SWSWedu at #SchoolBoardThing workshop.
