So impressed by the work of America's Promise partner College Possible to put relationships at the heart of efforts to support students succeeding in college. And props to Austin Peay State University for seeing the wisdom of focusing on the right special sauce. yhoo.it/30mJk9i

Thinker, leader Julia Freeland Fisher has important observations about the intersection of relationships and competency-based learning, including social emotional development. Full of brilliance and possibilities. bit.ly/2V2uSlz #HowLearningHappens

Congrats to Jim McCorkell at College Possible, a fabulous partner of America's Promise, for his exceptional leadership. Recognition well-deserved for two decades of creative and powerful work to support #FirstGen college students, like himself, and like me too.

What if Children Ran the School Lunchroom? Terrific NYT article on the work of FoodCorps and others to improve the school food experience. nyti.ms/2SNzHjz

If we really want to get things right for young people, we have to start by actually listening to them. That is exactly what FoodCorps has done in its #ReimaginingSchoolCafeterias effort. See the great NYT story on this inspired work. nyti.ms/2FzrWWU

So proud of partners and colleagues FoodCorps for the way they listened to young people in thinking about #ReimaginingSchoolCafeterias. Learn about it in this terrific The New York Times story. nyti.ms/2FzrWWU
