"The idea of questioning the status quo is what we need to do in education. We are who we've been waiting for. That is the mindset we owe our children so they shine and thrive."

—Kiran Bir Sethi, founder & director of Riverside School which is based on design thinking principles

In Opinion

“School is the only place in the world where you’re expected to excel at everything, and all at the same time. In real life, you’ll excel at what you do best and let others excel at what they do best,” writes Margaret Renkl.

#Competency based districts and schools commit to dismantling systemic barriers to #EdEquity and helping all learners succeed. This is not lip service. It starts with a conviction about the potential of all students and a commitment to meeting all students where they are. https://t.co/LB2K1ieiKW

What if we REALLY listened to one another? Learners, parents, community, and educators? “The power of listening is the power to change hearts and minds. More consequentially, it is the power of giving people what they desire- to be heard and understood.” -Carnegie @Lindsay_USD

This school replaced detention with meditation.

Suspensions plummeted, attendance climbed.

"We’ve learned that once youth and adults enter into authentic partnership, their sense of agency and capacity as change agents alters. They develop a fresh mindset that sparks a culture shift and drives a new kind of action." https://t.co/VnnPdZwCqa #edreimagined #edchat
