One idea I have been noodling on: school construction options should include a public health / air pollution analysis. Sometimes schools are built near highways to reduce transporting times, even as those children will get years of sitting in bad air. x.com/mattyglesias/status/13…
Building back better in a post-pandemic United States will require federal investments not only in schools but also in “learning ecosystems” that leverage and connect the assets of entire communities. #RemakeLearning#RemakeTomorrowdayoneproject.org/post/inves…
Saw the Moynihan Train Hall yesterday. Stunning! The launch of largest state infrastructure plan in the country and in our Midtown, Manhattan neighborhood. Exciting!
We're laying out a blueprint for building our schools for equity and opportunity during a (virtual) National Summit.

Special thanks to Joshua Elder, Director of Grants Management at @siegelendowment for joining us in co-moderating two of our forums on the future of education this year.
Take a look at some of Joshua’s key takeaways from his experience: siegelendowment.org/insights…
Demographics in our communities are changing, lack of #equity & resources are creating a growing need for community schools.
These schools can become significant anchor institutions & a key strategy for invigorating neighborhoods.
What are your thoughts on community schools?
We are working to transform the public classroom through design so that students and educators can learn, work, and teach in the 21st century.
What issues and challenges do you think are most important to address within America's current educational system?
