3 years ago today — my first ever book signing @BullisSchool! I never could have imagined then that #TechWithHeart would open up space for so many important conversations. In fact, I’m having many more of them today than ever before, and I’m incredibly thankful! @dbc_inc

“If teamwork matters, if loyalty matters, if honesty matters, if grit matters, if creativity matters, then we have to start assessing these things, because as it’s often said, what gets measured is what gets treasured.” @edutopia @angeladuckw @smerrill777 edutopia.org/article/schools…

Only 39% percent of American adults can correctly name the three branches of government. Educators and historians continue to call for more and better #CivicsEducation. Here's why. thehill.com/opinion/white-ho…

Loved this conversation with my friend @AdamMGrant. His new book “Think Again” is so smart and challenging in the best way. For example, this quote: "Listen to ideas that make you think hard — not just opinions that make you feel good." bit.ly/3tZ0Q3b
