Me: Did you try all those practice problems I posted?
Student: What, where? Oh! I'll check them out!
Gotta stay 3 steps ahead of these kiddos. Or, at least 1.

I'm in my second to last course for my MEd. It's all about evaluation of organizational change. Phew! It's quite a big topic to bite into, but I've made friends along the way and things are starting to make sense that felt like a foreign language not too long ago. #validation #stakeholders #research

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
