"A lot of things seemed impossible in America in 1940. What the US did in response spurred an era of widely shared prosperity."

Some education providers are moving away from bootcamps and toward short-term tech training.
Wish we saw them move more towards apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships, micro-internships, and work-based learning.

How to interpret—and not misinterpret—forthcoming NAEP results
Recently my daughter asked me to describe my job. I had to think for a minute. Statistical interpreter? Results translator? None worked. I needed an elevator pitch, one my quasi-curious teen would und...

Below are links to 3 Starter Packs I've made to help you connect with such folks.
