It was great to share some thoughts on #mindfulness in schools with Jessie Tobin and Paul Guay for the NYKids podcast! They were wonderful interviewers, and the production is top notch.

I have a few colleagues in NSF. It’s beyond terrible. Please call your elected officials, regardless of party. If they don’t know what matters to you, they won’t know what to fight for.
🧪 The NSF director is lying to you.

"These [Dept of Ed] cuts weren’t mere tweaks; they were...a wholesale gutting of an agency responsible for federal student aid, special education oversight, civil rights enforcement, data collection, and nationwide school support."
