What a sad day. Sir Ken Robinson leaves a legacy of challenging us all to reimagine learning for students and to challenge the status quo of we design our schools to meet the needs of our kids today. Rest in Peace.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer. We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

Schools are submitting their final plans, legislators are meeting in emergency session this Saturday and Monday, federal government doesn’t have a federal aid package to support schools yet...COVID-19 is still real. Mike Tyson may have been correct...

Georgia is suspending standardized testing for the upcoming school year & formal teacher evals and are seeking to permanently cut certain tests. This will also save $10's of millions from the budget that can be used toward teacher pay, etc. Let's hope other states step up!

Superintendents should consider putting together a Crisis Future Team, made-up of two to three people to begin thinking about what their district’s next reality is. They have more freedom and time right now to future vision than they have ever had. Good ones will not squander it.

Here’s a first look at the many ways Michigan students will learn from home during the COVID-19 crisis via @chalkbeatDET chalkbeat.org/posts/detroit/… #MichEd #MASALeads #MiEducation #SchoolsGetItDone
Let’s be clear. @NCSD and Michigan schools are not closed. School buildings are closed. We are committed to ensure that our students continue to learn. Learning has started and will continue. #NoviTogether #schoolsgetitdone
