School finance is a sexy topic says Marguerite Roza in our latest @classdisrupted podcast. With the unprecedented amount of federal dollars flowing into schools Marguerite put the amounts in perspective for us on the show. The short of it? It's a lot of money and is quite meaningful. So how should schools/districts spend it? And what should they not do? She offered a ton of insights & creative ideas. My favorite? Let individual schools make decision about how to use the $ at the school level, not the district level, so it can match what they need the most. And what not to do? Don't invest in items that need to recur & will create an expense that needs to be maintained after funding is gone.

Join me as Efosa Ojomo, Clayton Christensen Institute, talks about what infrastructure is and why it matters. A term that's become a political football as of late, Ojomo's writings on the topic--and where infrastructure investment will and won't spark growth--are incredibly important right now as we think about investments not just in education, but also across our society.

Best practices = what works on average, which means we aren't applying the right practice in the right circumstance based on what will work for whom and when. So what's a better phrase? "Effective practices" - meaning using the right practice in the right circumstance to get the outcome you desire, says Elizabeth Chu @columbialawschool I like the ring of it. Not only that, but her Center is pushing for mastery-based learning... Making sure students' learning opps aren't bounded by the 4 walls of the classroom and more. Is it controversial? I'd just call it a lot of common sense. Learn more about their project Rise to Thrive & how they are building opportunity for all as we rebuild schools.

Even though it may seem like a straightforward question, once you scratch the surface, it’s anything but. As we seek to build schools back better—& not just return to how schools operated prior to pandemic—it's a vital question Individual schooling communities must be clear about purpose and priorities. It's critical to start with the end-and backward map. I don't expect that there will be a clear answer nationally, but in this piece for @forbes I offer some ideas & some history. More prescriptive than I usually am, in my mind we're trying to produce students who are prepared to maximize their human potential, build their passions and lead choice-filled lives, participate civically in a vibrant democracy, contribute meaningfully to the world... ... And the economy, and understand that people can see things differently—and that those differences merit respect rather than persecution. From there, I offer 5 domains for schools to consider as they build specifics around their central purpose and priorities.

They've-to state the obvious-trickled down to impact educators on front lines & parents as they try to figure out how and whether to reopen schools. So @classdisrupted, with @dianetavenner, had John Bailey help us make sense of it all. From early in pandemic John Bailey drew on his expertise in planning for pandemics at the highest levels of government to stand up an invaluable source of news in his COVID-19 Policy Update. In our show we dug into key lessons learned in this pandemic. And also why we've had some of the challenges we've had. And what the fog of Covid portends for the future and the fall specifically. Finally, we also asked John for what he would change right now if he was able to.

But creating capacity to do that is hard. Instituting a design process to do that well that works with the community is even harder. That's why I was so excited to chat with Jeff Wetzler and Aylon Samouha with @dianetavenner on the latest episode of @classdisrupted Their work at Transcend is incredibly thoughtful - and I learned a ton in the conversation about how they think of design... That isn't just willy nilly innovation, but is informed deeply by the latest in the learning sciences.

Pay attention to those students roles at work and in their communities says a community college president. Compelling new episode of @futureupodcast with @presidentbaston, Rockland Community College, although I confess I had a lot more questions afterwards as well. In our reaction @jselingo asked me my thoughts on everything from outcomes at community colleges to the comments made around systemic racism. I also interjected some thoughts on the view at community colleges that online learning is "just" correspondence courses. What does that reveal?
