Digital storytelling to shift how we think, talk, and design education - giving voice to the public that is public school

🙌 “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” ― John Dewey

What if there was a high school class focused on finding and living your own best life -- not to be confused with taking multiple choice tests about the past lives of others...🤔

We are extremely saddened by the senseless violence that took the life of a student today. Our condolences go out to the student's family, friends and community. Our office is a safe zone and any student who feels they are in distress can stop by for help. We are here for you!

Please read this- it is a remarkable true story. When I asked men-who had risked their lives to end the violence- what we could do to thank them, all they asked for was a playground where their children could have a safe place to play. @kaboom @whitesox chicagotribune.com/news/local/bre…

Making others happy is not a question of sacrificing our own happiness. Trying to make others happy, even when we do not always succeed, is a source of great satisfaction. Anger and hatred are signs of weakness, while compassion is a sure sign of strength.

If you develop a pure and sincere motivation, if you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion, and respect, then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively.

The world belongs to its 7 billion inhabitants. In the past, communities could flourish in isolation, but now we can’t. This World Environment Day let’s remember that we depend on each other and that to meet the challenge of climate change, we have to work together.

.@byron_auguste on job seekers getting through employer screening: "You can’t change your history. That’s called lying. You CAN change your skills. That’s called learning." That's why employers should screen for skills, not pedigree. #newdemNEXT

.@NEInstituteTech acknowledges learning happens everywhere- in classroom and out. Schools and employers are wise to value the expansion of 21st century career pathways. @REALJOBSRI both in the driver’s seat. TechHire.Careers is in. #PBNWorkforceDevelopment

I’ve noticed that some students behave in some classes but not in others. That tells me that teachers have tremendous potential to impact student behavior. I’ve also noticed that teachers who are kind but have high expectations get the best results.

+1 @RoKhanna is definitely right that such “human capital” investment would pay off big - including both “training” AND “credentialing”. People from all walks of life can learn new skills, at any age, but must be able to convert learning into earning. @OpptyatWork #TechHire

This is a no brainer. The U.S. has 30 million jobs that pay on average of $55k and don’t require a college degree. We need massive investment in vocational education, tech training and credentialing. pbs.org/newshour/educa…
