Excited to hear ECSS founder @idaroseflorez read an excerpt from her forthcoming book! You can join the fun. See the link below. 👇🏼

[Dr. Ida Rose Florez @idaroseflorez]

Come hear me read from my forthcoming book, The End of Education as We Know it: A Complexity Guide for Educational Influencers at AJ Harper's “Moth Story Hour” w/ fellow authors Liz Long & @MikeMichalowicz Dec 6, 7pm ET. It's always a great time! https://t.co/WlLdL0Cix6

Such an important question. What in our culture is producing our addiction to measuring?

[Dr. Ida Rose Florez @idaroseflorez]

And here’s another important question by @NoraBateson: What in our culture is producing our addiction to measuring?

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@khanacademy Complexity science and the implications of complexity for learning and education.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

THE fundamental question about #childcare systems: to what extent are they alive or are a machine? B/c if they are fundamentally alive (& why would we think they are not?), they behave in ways that are fundamentally different than machines.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

And, WHY are we measuring?

Opening the new location feels like I'm finally able to support zine creators like I've always wanted to. #zinesupfront

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@MCSalma Yes. It is EXACTLY like you’re little start-ups. How might people with that skillset, existing in a loosely-held, distributed space, be the context for reimagining early education?

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

Such an important thread. @NAEYC & QRISs have prioritized center-based #childcare for decades, which strengthens systemic racism in #EarlyChildhoodEducation. Kith/kin care is critical to healthy culturally-aligned childcare systems.

[Alycia Hardy @ahardyMPA17]

There has to be more intentionality in defining quality in a way that centers equity & doesn't penalize the cultural & linguistic differences of children, families, & providers. In a way that recognizes that equity doesn't equal sameness & quality doesn't equal expensive.

@matt_barnum What’s your source for the screenshot quote. We’d like to reference it.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@Sys_innovation The most important thing to know about complex systems is that they are mostly unknowable — and that’s ok.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@tracimchildress I think a completely new paradigm is on its way.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@Sys_innovation Thank you!

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@DianeRavitch @NicoleMMcNeil Really not understanding your point @DianeRavitch. Your point is anything but exact (and so far, not at all helpful).

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@DianeRavitch Just no. Science is EXACT? Examples please. We can provide many examples of science as a messy endeavor (like, you know, vaccine development or figuring out the best ways to slow spread of COVID). Actually stunned by this statement coming from such a well-respected educator.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@IyanlaVanzant Yes. In fact often learning IS LIMITED in the classroom.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

@tracimchildress All you’re saying is true. And it’s been true for decades. At ECSS we think the standard explanations for why #ece is so isolated haven’t really helped address the problems.

If you hate the Pope bc he’s too “liberal” ... I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

Complexity thought of the day: If your strategy involves taking something apart, fixing a part or two or three, and putting the something back together—you’re not dealing with complexity.

[EC System Solutions @EC_SysSolutions]

It all adds up to institutional poverty.
