Did I catch new Commander @HogsHaven owner Josh Harris just try to shake @Buck hand during @MNFootNg interview? Not judging sure I would have been a basket case if I were in his place. Props to @TroyAikman for keeping it together and only half smiling. Glad to see a regular guy

Young children don’t care about differences of nationality, faith or race. So long as their companions smile, they play together happily. It seems it’s only as we grow up, in the course of education, that focussing on secondary differences between people creates trouble.

Great article. Interesting how ZERO of his points are part of our students’ High School experience. Time for new paradigms!

There's a new, easier way to apply for student financial aid - CNBC - Looking forward to students being able to take advantage of this new platform.

Starting in October, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid will be available on a new phone app, called myStudentAid. Previously, the lengthy form was much easier to fill out from a desktop...

Loved hearing the message of educating the whole child by @willhaith @AnacostiaHigh which was then backed up by the three time champion Ana Cheer Squad! #whyana

The quality of the assignments we give are directly proportional to quality of the work we get back. Thanks @EdTrust for sending this message educators. #EquityInMotion
Every day, with every assignment educators give their students, they are sending messages about what they believe about their students & what they are capable of doing. Educators need to make sure those messages are the ones they intend. https://t.co/C0LXzKp9nS

If we want our students to be prepared for college and beyond, they must start doing the type of work they will find when the graduate from high school.
The first key to engaging students in doing real science is to understand the difference between a science demonstration and a hands-on science experiment. @ReallyGoodStuff

When we afford our students opportunities to shine, they always do.
that’s a wrap! @EliotHine Network kids conducted over 30 interviews with prominent individuals in the video production industry. The Creative Arts @TheEmmys was completely amazing!! This is the second group of kids I have taken to LA for red carpet interviews😎 #DCProud
