Innovation needs to be systemic, not experiential. "We must turn the battleship with commitment and leadership to ignite change." Today @PhyllisLEAP and @Distinctive_Edu led an inspiring talk with @oecscommission and @USAID on enabling personalized learning in the Caribbean.

Going back to normal? “NO!” @scott1639 proclaimed in a #SXSWEDU conversation about reinventing schools with @PhyllisLEAP, Chris Rush - hosted by @AlysonRKlein. We must reestablish passion, interest and connection to school - a clarion call to rethink the paradigm.

Today, we honor @common who, in all his work, uses his talent, voice and artistic platforms with heart and humanity to raise the social consciousness, "change the perspective and inspire people to movement." #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter
Of John Lewis, President Obama said: “Generations from now, when parents teach their children what is meant by courage, the story of John Lewis will come to mind—an American who knew that change could not wait for some other person or some other time.” #GoodTrouble #BHM

In dazzling American Ballet Theatre audiences, @MistyonPointe also inspires. “My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. My hair is different than most I dance with. But I didn't let that stop me. Black girls rock and can be ballerinas.” #BlackExcellence
