Humbled to be listed in this month’s issue of @techlearning.bsky.social Magazine as one of the advisors’ picks for people who they predict will impact education this year.

I’m excited about the work ahead as we continue to drive equitable teaching and learning practices across the USA & beyond.

While many celebrate the signing of this Executive Order, I can’t help but reflect on the schools in underserved communities!

How will this decision widen the already staggering gap in access and opportunities for these children?
