One of my favorite parts of a living curriculum is that it keeps living. In the 23-24 school year we did an inquiry into biomimicry. Not only do kids still reference it, but I get regular texts from the teacher who sends me links of the brilliance of ants on a Tuesday in July. Inquiry activates.

This is evergreen: "What really happened to small learning communities, in other words, is not that they failed, but that they drowned."
Yep. This is one of the most radicalizing pieces I ever wrote, about my own high school.

For those who knew her, Jen was a friend, a mentor, a creative force, and a wonderful teacher.
Her smile lit up her entire face, and her voice had this radio star quality! I just loved listening to her speak.
Jen was someone I looked up to very much, and she will be missed. 😢

One last update about Jen.
🥺🥺🥺
Grateful that she crossed my path here on social media. May her legacy of being so positive and encouraging to others, remind us of the people we need to be on social media. She was a true blessing for us all.
