Anyone looking to disrupt? "Getting an education now is less about earning a degree, and more about receiving micro, and alternative credentials.”

@Aurora_Inst @susandpatrick @RTDOpinions LOVE THIS! Thanks @susandpatrick "Seat time, or how long students have sat in the line of sight of their lecturing teacher, is a poor, invalid proxy for learning." Let's get to the hard work. #microcredentials

Let's build a #microcredential & open a #pipeline! @HMSafeSchools @HeliosEdFnd @01COALAS @utahalas @Florida_ALAS @CALSAfamilia @latinosinacti0n Student to Counselor Ratios are Dangerously High. Here’s How Two Districts Are Tackling It https://t.co/jNseSCXA6B #edtech via @EdSurge

Good read on #gamification. Short-cycle wins, leaderboards, level-ups, etc. will be part of our vernacular beyond gaming going forward. This is really about #engagement and human #motivation!

@NCGanster @CovingtonEDU @MIDAS_Education is to @NCGanster! Curriculum broken into #microcredentials allows schools to connect learning content to other parts of the community and create shorter cycle learning bites that are truly relevant

[Matt Pickering @MattPickeringWA]

@CovingtonEDU Yes @CovingtonEDU please stop the seat-time-metric and allow professionals to learn and upskill where they need. Include #evidence and transparency to validate their growth. Keep the talent in our schools!

Next year lead with Trust + Flexibility.

I have been so encouraged at the forward thinking that our system leaders are demonstrating. Scrambling to meet basic needs in their communities they feel the stress and frustration of their disconnected teachers…https://t.co/In9rlApBar

@RodRobinsonRVA @ChelseaWiseRVA @aerodgers @RodRobinsonRVA it was a school day and i was home sick too - i remember my dad not believing me about the explosion

[Matt Pickering @MattPickeringWA]

our Systems all struggling with this exaggerated equity issue - highlights how disconnected systems (and thus people) really are. My hope is that this crisis will bring leaders to the importance of wholistic thinking around data and communication tools. #datalit

I surveyed some of the biggest school districts in the country.

Some aren't even tracking whether they can reach every kid.

Others have been meticulously reaching out. But even when they do, thousands still seem to be off the grid
