Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

A great podcast. The story of how an idea and a handful of people can make a transformative difference for inclusive education in a Catholic setting.

Thoughtful, logical, and grounded in research, anecdotes, and common sense. Worth this read from @rickwormeli2 no matter how many years you have in the classroom.

ICYMI: Here is my revised edition, updated for 2025, of, "Differentiated Instruction: Setting the Pedagogy Straight," in which I respond to those who have spread myths about what differentiation is and what it looks like in the classroom, or for those who are anxious about responsive teaching in this time of uninformed and rather toxic conversations about inclusion, equity, and diversity in our classrooms. 'Hope it informs conversations constructively. I'm up for talking about its content here or at [email protected]. Thanks to @AMLE for posting the new piece! https://t.co/9RQ3VNskPF

Great opportunity to join a fantastic team! Reach out with any questions.

A few years ago I met with the administration of a large Catholic university. They were trying to understand their declining enrollment.

I had some time before the meeting so thought I would attend Mass, but got lost. I asked a group of students, “Where is Mass?” One student responded, “What is Mass”?

This question said it all. Apart from the elites (Notre Dame, Georgetown, Boston College, etc) Catholic university enrollment is going to tank, unless they re-embrace their founding mission. The universities that have already done this (Benedictine, Franciscan, the University of Mary, etc) are setting enrollment records. People, especially this generation, want the genuine article. Beige Catholicism is not worth the money

We're celebrating the Options Program this week! Each year, students and Peer Mentors head off campus for a day-long retreat, including games, fellowship, and reflection.

Please join me in keeping Archbishop Henning in your prayers. Boston is getting a truly exceptional leader.

[Rhode Island Catholic @RICatholic]

Archbishop Henning writes, "So here is my advice as I travel north to Boston: We are not small. I know that we are the smallest state, but we are communities with big hearts. I have rejoiced to be a part of this place and I hope that you do too."

Having worked alongside all of these educators, I can honestly say they are even more impressive in person! A great reminder of how courage and curiosity need to be encouraged.

This is a story worth reading!

Catholic education changes lives. In 2016, Stephen Baker '20 enrolled in the Br. Thomas Leto Options Program at Bishop Hendricken. Upon graduating, he moved onto the VUnited Scholars Program at @VillanovaU, and now, he's the first student from the Options Program to graduate from a Catholic university ➡️ https://t.co/cMaLnmu892
