we stand up for what we believe in 

we are excited to announce that 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 joined the founders for change movement that launched last month. the fcc statement we signed reads:

"i believe in a more diverse and inclusive tech industry. i am dedicated to having a diverse team and board, and when i have a choice of investment partners in the future, the diversity of their firms will be an important consideration."

joining founders for change is less of a signal of a new direction for our organization, and more of a public commitment and announcement about things that are important to us. we look at it as a way to stand up for what we believe in and to stand beside others who feel the same. as we move forward we will continue to focus on diversity in our hiring and continue to build 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 as an inclusive and welcoming organization. check out our careers page and join us!

we’re very excited to be a member of the learning commons, a free, open site where educators can search for high-quality resources provided by different learning content providers.

we believe in empowering educators and equipping them with the tools and resources they need to revolutionize education in their classrooms - which is often an unnecessarily difficult task. that’s why it was important for us to be a part of this platform which can transform a teacher’s toolbox by providing content about everything from curriculum development and instructional design to professional development and cultural innovation.

much like the playlists we use in classrooms everyday, you can create your own personalized playlist or use a pre-existing one on the learning commons site. with a growing group of contributors, including edsurge, the highlander institute, jobs for the future, lindsay usd, and the christensen institute, we hope the learning commons will become the go-to resource for educators everywhere.

check out 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 on the learning commons.

29 days and counting! we’re working to finalize the tech tours for this year. if you’re on the waitlist for a tour, please hang on just a bit longer - we’ll be sending out confirmations next week.

in march, our own senior design principal, dana britt, presented at the mid-atlantic conference on personalized learning in a session titled: “escape the room: pl style! empowering self-directed learners.” in this interactive session, participants were given clues and puzzles with which to unlock physical and digital combination locks and uncover the “treasure” of resources on self-directed learning.

using collaboration, invisible ink, and a lot of grit, all six teams “escaped” and left with many resources in their pl toolkits. take a look at these slides to get inspiration and ideas about how to run your own “escape” or “breakout” pd session in your district.

5 ingredients to create a culture of innovation

卡塔尔世界杯32强比赛时间 -experiment 4: team meeting protocol

three years ago, i received a call from an excited district leader who wanted to chat about student data (of all things)! he dreamt of building a digital “learning ecosystem,” (think instruction/lms, assessment, ieps, grading, attendance, transportation, etc.) to serve as the information backbone for his district’s vision to personalize the learning environment for every student. what he didn’t know was how to make that ecosystem a reality.

one of the pitfalls of being new to any situation is the mistake of being quick to rush to judgment. entertaining the idea that what you see as a problem has actually been vetted to be the most viable solution by someone who came before you is a skill that requires patience, understanding and respect. when this core tenet is dismissed, and you assume too quickly that you know better, it often can lead to a downward spiral from which there is no return.
