What a thrill to talk about Spencer's redesigned office space--and how it reflects our values, tells our stories, and facilitates our collaborative work!

In its first 37 years, @PrincetonWBB lost more games than it won. In the last 12 seasons, Princeton has taken the floor 352 times and won 281 times. How did the Tigers build a nationally prominent program & blueprint for @IvyLeague? ✍️ @_Brian_Hamilton theathletic.com/3748734/2022…

"Hope" feels soft to a lot of reporters, even though we need it, too. “Agency” is not something most reporters think about, probably because they have it. "Dignity" is not part of the crime beat. But imagine if it were? washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Tomorrow, I'm heading to Stanford to deliver a speech about changes in the way we create and consume information, and the very real threat it poses to democracy.

Read Prin. @FemiSkanes Op-Ed on the value our students bring to school as a result of their experiences during the pandemic. “Our students will not be returning to us as broken vessels this fall. They will be returning to us with new perspectives on life” chicagobusiness.com/forum-id…

Call me crazy, but I’m tremendously concerned about our children being required to do active shooter drills as they return to school this fall, and not concerned at all about them being required to wear masks.

I cannot believe this! Thank you, @sljournal! I also want to thank @CamilleFarring and @JennyNagaoka at @UChiConsortium and the whole gang at @IngenuityChgo. This book would not have been possible if they hadn't be kind enough to let me work on the framework on #SEL and #ArtsEd.

Thank you for reading! That makes me so happy!

@emkrphillips I just finished, “The Make or Break Year.” I have never read a book on education that so perfectly encapsulates the issues present in education today while simultaneously giving me real, actionable steps on how to help. Thank you.

Indeed.
Every shooting is tragic. But shootings like the one last night in an upscale largely white DC neighborhood happen every day in black and brown neighborhoods and attract .01% of the social media attention.
