“Does it need to be accessible?”

“Yes, it does.”

No, science is not obligated to address any idea or notion that you have... even if you are in your local plurality.

Distrust those who say, “here is my great idea, now you go do it.”

“Due dates” are my suggestion for keeping #onlinelearning #students on track. Work in before due date can be resubmitted, after the due date full points, but no guarantee I will be able to grade a resubmission.

What does it say about your organization if there are not qualified internal candidates?

Real experts find it very difficult to explain what they do.

What is obvious and rational to you may well be a deranged fantasy to me.

I’m not a “we tried that before” critic, but if you suggest the same thing without understanding why it failed before, then I’m unlikely to support you.

If one leaders sees your innovation as a loss, it will fail. Even if it even if it benefits all others

If your slides contain only text, you are missing the point.

It takes extra hubris to look at a problem, recognize its existence and its adverse effects, then deny it. #leadership

I’m growing tired of those who string together different or even contradictory practices in #education as if they have discovered the solution to our teaching g and learning problems.

If you are a #teacher who resolves your own questions about curriculum and instruction by checking “the standards,” then you are missing the purpose of #education. You may be pragmatic, but that may not be sufficient for your #students.

“Who benefits from your silence?”

The best question I heard all day.

Bankers realize the fastest growing branch is in their pockets. My guess is the fastest growing college campuses are as well.

Unlike many, I have faith the young people are going to save us from ourselves.

If the meeting has become a game of "guess what the leader wants," then I am going to stop engaging... and probably get out my phone... hmmm... I wonder what students would do if the class was the same game.

“We tried it once before” is not a reason.

Should schools serve as screeners of potential employees or trainers of potential employees? #highschool #highereducation

So many ways to dismiss feedback.
