"At the end of the day, the question is this: is Massachusetts willing to make the changes? I think we're Blockbuster video in 1992 — we're not seeing Netflix coming." - Massachusetts Commissioner of Education @JeffreyCRiley underscoring the need for urgency and innovation

My 10-Year Challenge:
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2009: $54,319
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2019: $57,439
That’s an increase of $3,120 over 10 years. Based on the current inflation rate ($1.20 or 1.76%) it should be $65,158.

"Is it too late for me to get started?"
It's early days of software.
It's early days of filmmaking.
It's early days of storytelling and art.
It's early days of money.
It's early days of governance.
It's early days of medicine.
It's probably early days for you too.

We continue to emphasize standardized tests designed for 50% of students to miss each question & we are shocked when they do. & then blame the teachers because the test does exactly what it was designed to do. & give T’s poor evals. Is Any other profession rigged for failure?

"The most they can get on a retake is 70%" ... what research supports this idea? If they get 100% why wouldn't they get anything less than what learning they demonstrated?

"When building habits, choose consistency over content. The best book is the one you can’t put down. The best exercise is the one you enjoy doing every day. The best health food is the one you find tasty. The best work is the work you’d do for free." - @naval

Don’t do innovation or entrepreneurship if you can’t handle failure ambiguity. It’s part of the job to fail, learn, get up, and get on!

A2: I think as a believers in how education should shift we need to challenge practices that are not student-led and don't allow for learning to occur. We need to use our voice! #sau25videochat
