We've created a free resource for educators, particularly HS and higher ed, looking to make their synchronous time with students excellent.

Immense gratitude to @mylenetu for creating this tool and @lisa_hite for imagining a way for it to serve a broader audience!!

In these uncertain times, learners need more support than ever as they navigate between education & career. Happy to see @EntangledSOL’s first-of-a-kind white paper examining #careernavigation products. Please read, share, and discuss! https://t.co/JbHysQOnZc #WorkforceGPS

My colleagues and I surveyed students to identify how institutions can act now and over the coming months to best address both the urgent and the long-term needs of their students. #COVID19 #highered

“Even if you’re not interested in politics, they can be passing a law that can affect you in the long run. What politicians do is important for you.” - Haley, 12th grade Generation Citizen student in Oklahoma City.

Young people = a big part of the solution! #CivicsForUS

"The only certainty you will have as a leader in this time is uncertainty." - Bob Wise, fmr Gov of WV and @EntangledSOL Senior Advisor at today's @EntangledGroup #townhall https://t.co/qtPJt6JBXs

@jselingo When I advised students through college access and success nonprofits, I was stunned when the expected family contribution equaled 1/3-1/2 of the family’s gross income. It invalidates the promise of college admission if there is real no opportunity for you to actually attend.

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

The next wave of digital learning strategies/resources should align with 3 distinct audiences of learners - online grad students, traditional undergrads taking online courses, and fully-online undergrads. @jselingo #ScottLomas #highered @EntangledSOL https://t.co/LqxXXzwoDH

Tonight, high schoolers Nora and Lexi, involved in @SFYouthCom and @gencitizen, spoke this evening @INFORUMsf about their paths to Bay Area advocacy, the power of technology to elevate youth voices, and the potential that their generation possess to change local and fed politics

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

“Too often young people are not being invited to the table and not asked what they think. Adults tokenize the voices of young people, saying ‘young people are the voice of the future’ without actually listening to what they think.” - @ScottLWarren @INFORUMsf @gencitizen #civics

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

“[Young people] are not worried about money. We’re worried about actually making change. We don’t think about a dime a nickel a penny or anything. We want to make the community better.” - Lexi, Berkeley High School senior and @gencitizen alum @SFYouthCom @INFORUMsf

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

“It’s ridiculous to see that youth don’t have a voice in local govt. when things happen to me and my friends, while adults might be able to suggest alternatives, speaking to young people who have experienced problems first hand matters.” - High Schooler, Nora @INFORUMsf

"When it comes to college rankings, there isn’t an agreed-upon set of metrics used or a scientific way of weighting them." - Denise Pope, professor at @StanfordEd #stanfordgse #highered https://t.co/CjQvnZLcZ8

"We need to stop substituting hopeful stories for justice...We ought to subscribe to a new vision of success, where the goal is not just great kids, but free and whole ones too." @CaseyGerald for #NYTimes https://t.co/JpTmI5ZZNZ

“A reason for the skills gap is that the languages of employers and schools are inarticulate with one another.” - @michaelbhorn on the #skillsgap #highered

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

"Internships put the onus on the employer to teach students...that’s a big burden. Are alumni open to providing students 15 mins of feedback, thereby opening the door to a lesser commitment with the same potency of substance?" @juliaffreeland on the #disruption of internships

[Grace P Fowler @GracePFowler]

“Opportunity sits at the cross section of what you know and who you know...If we care about equity we have to start talking about relationships.” - @juliaffreeland in conversation with @michaelbhorn

According to our recent study featured in @WSJ, if a graduate starts out underemployed in their first job, it can be difficult to escape to appropriate employment. https://t.co/QfEWUut5w6 #education #college

[EdSurge @EdSurge]

.@MIT is developing a new kind of assessment to measure “all the things we say we care about”—like curiosity, creativity and critical thinking—but that traditional assessments miss, researchers say. https://t.co/GsP08BFxgH #edchat #assessment
