Moral of the story…don’t drop an f-bomb at the airport.

Important thread on the decline of student learning in civics and US History.

Using interim assessments to set goals for students is not straightforward. Read this insightful blog comparing normative and criterion goals by my colleague, @squesen. csaa.wested.org/keeping-pace-v…

All children, no matter their background, deserve to have access to advanced learning opportunities. Read the recommendations from the National Working Group on Advanced Education on how to build a wider, more diverse pipeline of advanced learners. ctt.ec/U6Z4F+

I’m really happy with the number and quality of discussions this blog produced.

Thrilled to collaborate with such accomplished women.

So proud of my team for modernizing WestEd’s approach to alignment. wested.org/wested-bulleti…

I’m always skeptical when the solution to a problem is to lower the standards. theconversation.com/texas-tried-to…

I received the nicest letter in the mail today. americanair has the kindest employees! I lost the tag off my checked luggage flying home after Christmas. Thank you, Randy!

There was one person worth watching tonight: Gabby Thomas easily won her heat for the 200m. Love watching her run.

I hate when your on time flight is sent to another gate and now your flight is 95 minutes delayed. Thanks Southwest Airlines

The Oklahoma media are doing some great reporting on a fishy situation in schools.

I hate when Southwest Airlines switches planes at the last minute. Trying to get home on Flight 4036. Only 30 minutes delayed until they swapped plans on us—now 2.5 hours delayed. I’ll be getting home around 2am. 😠 Second time in two trips; I’ll be looking for a new airline in 2025.
