Love this. “When we give kids the message that mistakes are good, that successful people make mistakes, it can change their entire trajectory” @joboaler @jameshamblin #growthmindset #continuousimprovement #k12 #education https://t.co/bnDoCOnEA1

Some seniors won’t graduate on time this spring.

But that doesn’t mean they’re out of options.

Identify them early.
Create a plan.
Keep them connected.

It’s not too late to make an impact.

As the second semester begins, school administrators have a powerful opportunity to strengthen school culture, and re-engage students who may have fallen off track.

To all the dedicated school administrators, staff, and students may your holidays be filled with joy and your dreams be wrapped in success! 🌟

We spend too much time arguing like we're right—and too little time listening like we're wrong.

Diatribes don't change minds. Productive disagreement depends on showing respect, curiosity, and humility.

The most compelling teachers are the ones who are most eager to learn.

Las Cruces Public Schools is forging an inspiring new path! At last week’s State of the District, Supt. @ignacior38 showed bold leadership and a deep commitment to student success. We were proud to join students, educators, and changemakers driving progress across LCPS!

@HenmackIII Appreciated @WSJopinion's point on this topic - https://t.co/z9jkcFX7jF

[Dr. Donald Dement @dfdement]

@HenmackIII Spot on @HenmackIII. Pre-reqs just create barriers to entry, timeliness, and cost efficiency. What do students need and expect? Low barriers to entry, a clear and simple path to a degree or cert, and reasonable costs. Something to be said for keeping it simple.

My friends at Human Capital Research Corporation have put up their own, easy-to-navigate FAFSA tracker. Take a look here, and feel free to share widely:

@HenmackIII Spot on. Really liked this 2021 WSJ article that highlights how community colleges help lead the way in skills training and learning -- it's a critical need in today's job market -- https://t.co/qs1KvH3aw7

“The responsibility of a society is to reduce misery, not to increase happiness.”

Thread: Monday is a special day. It's the birthday of fellow Iowan Norman Borlaug, winner of Nobel Peace Prize, The Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.

If you care about college admission, you should know him. Follow along.

[Jon Boeckenstedt @JonBoeckenstedt]

Given the continuing and newly-revealed issues with FAFSA, I cannot begin to understand how anyone is sticking with a May 1 deadline for first-year students, unless you really don't care about students who need aid.

@NBCDFW Seriously? Cutting off the end of the Lions game so @RickMitchellWX can tell us about a hand full of literal snowflakes? Not cool, not cool at all
