As trauma abounds, please consider purchasing Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door, published by Teachers College Press June 22, 2020. It offers suggestions for how to help children and adults deal with trauma -- within the school and outside. As we think about all the current trauma (pandemic growth, unemployment, racial tension, uncertainty including in politics), we need to help ALL our children. Employees in workplaces struggle too. So do/will teachers in schools and colleges. This book is sadly a book for our time. What matters is that it can help ameliorate (not eliminate) trauma and its symptomology. Available at: # https://lnkd.in/eCgEc8J and Amazon (stock is low). In paperbook and as ebook. As expressed in this book, I do have hope. …see more

So, in addition to Cerner and its $16 billion no-bid contract with the VA, I have been reflecting on cultural change in education. I am concerned that we move so slowly in education that many children who could benefit from improvements are left behind. Today, I was listening to folks chatting about 5G and its implementation hurdles. One speaker observed that we needed to be heartened by some changes — the move away from pay phones and phone booths to cell phones. Those phone booths are anachronistic. One generation and they are gone. No coin calls basically. I wonder whether the speed of technology and its acceptance can be transportable into education. Why not get the next generation accustomed to trauma responsive institutions with problem solving and interdisciplinary efforts? We think of Hampshire’s reforms as innovative. Really? Many have pondered problem focused and thematic learning for decades but fear and tradition stand in our way when implementation is at issue. Why not deploy different models for education at all levels? Take away the educational equivalent of pay phones and booths. What do we have to lose? We have lots to gain. …see more

Nine years into recovery from the Great Recession, labor-productivity-growth rates remain near historic lows across many advanced economies. Productivity growth is crucial to raise wages and living standards. It also helps increase the purchasing power of consumers growing demand for goods and services. Therefore, slowing labor productivity growth heightens concerns. …see more

Help me understand folks. I get the attraction to power and influence. But, according to NYTimes (ok, question the source), Bill Gates had a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein that seemingly involved no sexual favors, just possible monetary and charitable deals. Gates stayed late at Epstein’s home, once overnight. He commented on odd lifestyle (attributed to odd furnishings). Now, let me get this straight: Gates never ever either saw or engaged in any sexual escapades involving young girls and only saw Swedish beauty and her 15 year old daughter (one-off event)? Answer this: Was Epstein so good at compartmentalizing that there NEVER were young girls present when Gates was there? And Gates wanted to be around power and influence of Epstein and his friends? Couldn’t Bill Gates meet whomever he wanted on our planet earth? I’m sorry but something is off with this story. I get that power attracts power but there’s something way out of order here. Think Tyler Skaggs (Dodger pitcher) who was portrayed as a fun guy and good teammate who died on his own vomit; and he got drugs from a Dodgers high level employee regularly. And no one knew? Addiction hidden for years from family and teammates and most (apparently not all) Dodger employees? Please I wasn’t born yesterday. …see more
