Let's get together and discuss how we all CAN make a difference! If you have a story to share, bring it! If you have questions of feeling lost on where to begin, ask them!

Having served as a classroom teacher, school-based administrator, and central office director, he often uses real-life stories and examples of his own life and career to describe why and how we need to confront “the way we have always done it.” He has written multiple books, including “It’s Like Riding a Bike: How to make learning last a lifetime”, “Bold Humility” and his most recent book “Making Assessment Work for Educators Who Hate Data but Love Kids”. He speaks, consults, and partners with districts around the country and loves to keep learning and growing. We will discuss how to "focus on the focus.: What is essential and how do we decide?

THURSDAY'S SHOW (July 30):
- 4:00 PM - REINVENTING.SCHOOL Episode 13 - "Friendship" with host Howard Blumenthal. This week, REINVENTING SCHOOL looks at the connection between friendship, learning, school, and education. In the U.S., and in many other countries, questions about opening schools during the pandemic include concerns about social interaction between students. In short, how is it possible to make new friends if you're not interacting with new people? We'll learn more about the study of friendship from four professional guests: Lydia Denworth, Contributing Editor of Scientific American and author of the book, Friendship: The Evolution, Biology and Extraordinary Power of Life's Fundamental Bond. Dr. Caroline Fenkel, Executive Director at Newport Health, which provides teens with the guidance, support, and education to build strong relationships, learn and practice healthy coping skills, grow their personal self-worth, and reestablish trust and communication with themselves and their loved ones. Dr. Lyle Ungar, a multi-disciplinary scholar, and researcher whose technology interests include friendship. Dr. Caroline Connolly has enjoyed a lengthy research interest in the study of friendship, first with Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, now at The University of Pennsylvania's Psychology Department.
