Superintendent transitions are up 46 percent in the 500 largest districts — 228 this fall, compared to 155 in 2018. The turnover has been particularly hard on women: Of the 94 female superintendents who left their positions, 2/3 were replaced by men. https://t.co/Rn7XpAI38u

Enjoying a good book…

Yup…I’ve owned 2 SAABs & loved them both.

"Before I owned my Saab, I believed that all cars were either functional or luxurious. My car is distinctly impractical and worth very little. It is coveted for intangible reasons — chiefly its eccentricity." https://t.co/HOCblsYJ3N

@NPR Teachers are heroes, especially this one.

[NPR @NPR]

64 years ago today, 13 Black students sat at a whites-only lunch counter in downtown Oklahoma City, shaping the course of the civil rights movement.

This weekend, the city remembers the protest and its organizer, Clara Luper. https://t.co/hU1kgWyhPQ

A hero at work. Thank you, Teachers!

First day of school… one kid ran away from me, another peed on himself and one girl wouldn’t look at me because she doesn’t want a “boy teacher” 🙂🙂

Understanding labor market shifts…

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

The Great Resignation is looking more like a structural labor shift rather than an episodic one. New data outlines strategies hiring managers will need to successfully navigate the imbalance in labor supply and demand.
