@wikileaks I don't disagree, but I think whistleblowers & others in serious danger have the right to make some tactical choices.

Buffy Hamilton (@buffyjhamilton)
11/24/13 7:26 AM
@irasocol @dmlresearchhub @mtechman right. I get that. But as I said earlier, some changes are more structural & district level policy.

@ggreenwald Journalists must keep source agreements. But they must also protect sources, from themselves and in general. A difficulty.

Safe Spaces for Teachers' Professional Voices in a Public Spherewp.me/p2GmBR-to

oh my... this is more evidence of failed public Ed system.. than any test scores could ever be... no..?

the supposed leaders in a space... don't have permission for their own voice..


Currently, safe spaces exist for tenured professors (my status), but such is not the case for public school teachers and their students; as Arundhati Roy has explained, “We know of course there’s really no such thing as the ‘voiceless.’ There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.
Because, as Orwell cautioned, public discourse is dominated by partisan political voices and “[p]olitical language–and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists–is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

Professional teachers’ voices in the public sphere must, as NCTE suggests “[contribute] to honesty and clarity in public language” as a form of resistance to the continued failure of partisan political discourse, especially as that partisan political discourse impacts our public school, our public teachers, and our public school students.

every gathering (perfect sync that my spell check switched gathering to authoring.. not same).. could request 10plus gut wrenching questions.. just so the human mind can shift gears (ongoingly) to the verbiage/language of this now/space/gathering..

@ggreenwald Yes. But those around them should educate them and the public as to the reality of these choices.


esp if educating is via.. doing it ness... modeling.. the alternative..
we spend too much of our days analyzing/assesing/proving..  thins that can't really be analyzed assessed proved.... no?

Congratulations to Connections Academy student Sam Buck, who got a perfect score on his #ACT test!expi.co/01HyQ @ACTStudent

Samuel focused on subjects he liked, and it was hard for him to just drop focus and switch from class to class. His mother said he was not getting the support he needed and found an alternative with Ohio Connections Academy.

all of us.... no..?

It’s Time to Play Moneyball: The Investment Readiness Levelwp.me/prGQZ-3Yd

An Evidence-based Curriculum (currently taught in the Lean LaunchPad classes and NSF Innovation Corps accelerator). In it we emphasize that a) the data needed exists outside the building, b) teams use the scientific method of hypothesis testing c) teams keep a continual weekly cadence of:
  • Hypothesis – Here’s What We Thought
  • Experiments – Here’s What We Did
  • Data – Here’s What We Learned
  • Insights and Action – Here’s What We Are Going to Do Next


yea. so imagine that for 100% of humanity...
7billion more experts..
and quite honestly.. no longer subtly hosing in current labelled entrepreneurs... no?..
app ness
ie.... daily...  hourly...
with instant feedack... connections resources.. tribe...
every day....

We focus on evidence and trajectory across the business model. Flashy demo days are great theater, but it’s not clear there’s a correlation between giving a great PowerPoint presentation and a two minute demo and building a successful business model. Rather than a product demo – we believe in a “Learning Demo”. We’ve found that “Lessons Learned” day showing what the teams learned along with the “metrics that matter” is a better fit than a Demo Day.

exactly..

only zoom out more


If anyone knew them, the fact that NSFW is now funded by Peter Thiel would explode every irony and hypocrisy meter on the planet
