Slideshare?!? Is it still a thing? I went to the site and saw some presentations that gained over 500,000 views. So, I guess it's still a thing, but it's not fully integrated to the LinkedIn's ecosystem, I haven't seen a slideshare deck on my timeline. There's a PDF carousel, but it's not the same. Love to know your thoughts. …see more

Efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 have shut down much of American production, led to massive layoffs and reduced hiring, and endangered many American businesses. The scale of the lost output, revenues, and wages is unprecedented. https://lnkd.in/e_DkbVJ #economicimpact #apprenticeship Robert Lerman Urban Institute …see more

Let's not let history repeat itself. Looking back at the school-to-work transition for Millennials, many were given a promise. They were told that if they got a college education, they would exit into a sea of job opportunities. All they'd have to do is pick one and from there, enjoy rewarding work and a long, successful career. A decent salary would support a comfortable lifestyle and, in a reasonable amount of time, dissolve their student debt. We failed them. Thoughts on the problem and some practial solutions... https://lnkd.in/eUtRKhE #studentdebt #career …see more

I am attending and speaking at the Trauma Sensitive School conference in Washington DC. Amazing attendees who work hard with children who are traumatized. And we need to do something now — these students are not rare; we need to change our school culture. @tss2019ATN. Punishment isn’t the answer. It isn’t about fixing kids who are broken; our system is broken and we need to understand our students;we need to develop trust and attachment. We need the soil in which folks can grow and flourish. The kids can — if the soil is fertile and the teachers are compassionate. Learning is what this is all about... learning not just content but social and emotional skills. …see more

The Heckin’ Good Dog Who Waited for Me to Get Out of Prison https://lnkd.in/eF2DREC via @MarshallProj A worthy read, especially with the Thanksgiving holiday before us. It is a story about way more than a dog.

Sadly, we are not using all the technology we have at our disposal to deal with natural disasters. Ask yourselves, why is that?  What prevents us from using all our knowledge when lives are at stake? For a worthy read on this topic, see:  https://lnkd.in/d4pSd8u  We can do better; we must do better. …see more

From Politico and it is what I called $ in the hole (aces too): Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Education secretary, has been unabashed about using her wealth to help elect Republicans .... And now, after giving millions of dollars to politicians over the last two decades, she heads into her Senate confirmation hearing with an advantage: DeVos and her husband, Dick, have donated to the campaigns of 17 senators who will consider her nomination - four of whom sit on the Senate education committee that oversees the process, which is expected to get underway next month. …see more

I'm bothered in this post-truth time by nasty inaccurate online comments. Y tolerate them? I've started responding; i.e.. a commenter said no K-12 educators were on LINKEDIN's list of top ED writers. I wrote (shortened) "... in the interest of accuracy, I claim some knowledge...in the K-12 space.I was a teacher trainer for a large public school system...student-taught in a public school (substitute taught 2); taught part-time in alternative HS...I've written children's bk w/ ... activity bk + classroom activities ( www.ladylucysquest.com )...I think I have some street cred in K-12... …see more

You ever have that burst of knowing in your stomach that tells you to do it. It happened to me in March as I reported on the coronavirus in Italy when NYU closed down. But, it was an idea to set up something that I knew would be needed across the pond, back home in the US. Thus, birthed a guide that is being used daily. #blackfarmers #news #resultsbasedjournalism #womenentrepreneurs #foodsecurity …see more
