Celina ISD’s Post

Great blog by our friend and colleague Ksenia Filatov. Reminds us of our core concept of alignment and misalignment. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eYsjpAqh.

In my latest blog entry (https://lnkd.in/gCTDtq6Y), I share the paper that I presented last month at the Conference of the North American Association for Philosophy and Education. Let me know what you think!

Such an important point! This report is wide ranging and includes many radical (and in my opinion necessary and good) recommendations

Brian Raines thoughtfully explains the continuing challenges faced by those of us who come to the profession from atypical circumstances. He also exemplifies the life-changing power of higher education. As we continue to grapple with the many challenges facing higher ed, it is essential to stay focused on stories like Brian's. I often wonder what the world would be like had we not spent most of human history excluding people from education and limiting their potential based on accidents of birth. While we will never know what we could have created, it is clear to me that destroying a system that in a very short time has created incredible intellectual capital, improved the human condition immensely, and overall made our world a better place is foolish. Yes, higher ed needs to be made better. We need to prioritize student success and support, we need to embrace meaningful intellectual diversity, we need to be better citizens of the spaces we occupy. However, there is no scenario in which those shortcomings warrant the wholesale destruction of the best system of education the world has ever known. Many of us on the inside know this and are fighting to protect one of our country's most valuable assets. Those of you on the outside need to join us in the fight. The world's most creative and successful economy was built on the foundation created by higher education. Destroy the foundation and the structure will crumble.

Great perspective on the North Carolina power grid.

Highlight on STLI Faculty Fellow for Excellence in Teaching Leslie Grant. In this short video, Leslie discusses her STLI Fellowship project focusing on peer observation:

On Education and Sharing Day, we honor the memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who devoted his life to outreach and teaching — building bridges, challenging us to grow, and championing tolerance and learning. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g4VNsxYE
