One of my favorite parts of a living curriculum is that it keeps living. In the 23-24 school year we did an inquiry into biomimicry. Not only do kids still reference it, but I get regular texts from the teacher who sends me links of the brilliance of ants on a Tuesday in July. Inquiry activates.

Yes. You can buy a custom putter made in the USA.

That-Boy-I-Love is so freaking talented. Art happens in my house all the time. I’m the luckiest to get to see it take shape. This Damascus putter is crazy gorgeous!! #golf

That would be outstanding.

Not sure how what they are pushing is different than the disaster setup. So oblivious.

I was hoping that commercial was going a different way—like to how much nonfood is called food and engineered to be addictive. *sigh*

Me, too! So many!!

The Lie of Efficiency in Education There seems to be a lie of efficiency in education. It seems like every tool, initiative, or policy introduced in education has the same aim: making education more efficient. We’ve been led t…

Opinion | Burned Out? Start Here. The self-help author Oliver Burkeman argues that the path to productivity — and peace of mind — begins with accepting your limitations.

Great read for those experiencing burn out or rapidly headed there. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/o...

This is evergreen: "What really happened to small learning communities, in other words, is not that they failed, but that they drowned."

So many stories.

I have pie cutters. Williams and Sonoma has all kinds. Should have a leaf again closer to fall. I think they are probably seasonal. 💙

Yes!!! So good!

For those who knew her, Jen was a friend, a mentor, a creative force, and a wonderful teacher.

Her smile lit up her entire face, and her voice had this radio star quality! I just loved listening to her speak.

Jen was someone I looked up to very much, and she will be missed. 😢

Jen, I’m so sorry for these impossibly hard decisions. Sending so many prayers, hugs, and love. The impact you’ve had on my life, well… I’m just so grateful to know you.

One of my favorite, too!

This was one of my favorite episodes to record.

Our deep dive into assessment and grading asks the questions: how do testing and grading harm the process of learning? What could we be doing instead? What can assessment look like?

In this week’s episode of Dreams of Education, @michellekbaldwin.bsky.social and I dive into rethinking assessment—moving beyond grades and tests to focus on the journey of learning. How can we empower students to grow without the weight of judgment? www.podbean.com/eas/pb-jgxen...
