Legitimately the best idea I’ve seen in a VERY long time. Schools…do this. Wow.

This Pennsylvania barbershop is helping children build their confidence, paying young customers $3 to read stories aloud while getting a haircut deserves unlimited retweets..

EDGE teachers from Liberty Public Schools shared how they incorporate competency-based assessment, multidisciplinary curriculum, and flexible scheduling to educators at #MOPWR2025 @LPSEDGE @LIBERTYSCHOOLS

Countdown…10 days! So excited!

What a great morning of learning and discussion focused on our continued CBL journey! Thank you @jetwestfall!

US Marine, Retired Navy Seal sees a woman wearing a hat that said “Vote for Kamala Harris” in California He politely stops to ask her, why are you wearing that hat? He genuinely wanted to know her viewpoint. What she said and how she said it was so convincing he hat to verify. This video proves how insanely dangerous the media is in America.

I don't care what "side" you're on... If Elon Musk became US Head of Efficiency... our nation would revitalize. He's categorically the best CEO of our generation. He turned the US dying space and auto industries to world leading. Let's quantify this... 60 % of all satellites in the Earth's orbit are now from Starlink. There are an estimated 10,036 satellites in Earth's orbit. Starlink has 6,800. The US will launch around 159 rockets into space this year... SpaceX has already launched 84 this year. Last year he launched 96. This isn't even to dive into his revolution in media, electric cars, batteries and open-sourcing technology. Balaji has an incredible tweet describing the difficulty of hardware in general. Then add electric, space, reusable rockets, while managing 3 multi-billion dollar companies simultaneously. His pain tolerance must be unrivaled. I pray for him and could never stomach his life. Anyone who thinks he is bad for our economy or humanity is either lying or so dumb as to be irrelevant. We should pray that our best and brightest like Elon would go into government and make it 1/10 as efficient with our tax dollars as they are with their investment dollars. As @balajis said to me, "A great litmus test of people is if you ask them if Elon Musk is a good CEO or good for humanity and they say no... run don't walk away." I agree, they are a burn it downer not a builder.

CBL lessons from New Hampshire continued: 5. Be brave enough to bring big changes (grading system, transcripts, etc) to a community council (students). 6. Explore and claim BELIEFS about learning. 7. Start/support w small groups/cohorts and let the work speak for itself.

Lessons from New Hampshire after a decade of CBL work. What did you learn? 1. Don’t label things. Do the deeper work. 2. Build teacher leadership capacity. 3. Build learning professions (clarity) at the classroom level. 4. Build capacity to collect evidence of learning.

Loved this great conversation with Changing Conversation and Sarah Philp across the pond (love it so much!). Thank you for such a great chat!
