Great perspective on the North Carolina power grid.

Love this, and knowing Jeri, I'll bet she learned at least 3-4 things that will improve Cengage's offerings. Here at Pragmatic Institute, when we train product managers for other companies, we focus extensively on what we call NIHITO (Nothing Important Happens In The Office). Its a borderline mandate that product managers get out into the market and listen directly to customers for met and unmet needs. That a Chief People Officer is practicing NIHITO speaks to Cengage's customer focus. Way to go!

I know at times we get so busy we struggle to find time for the important things in life. One of Mainfreights core pillars is “philosophy” under this pillar sits two lines that explaines the Books In Homes Australia program. ~ We are here to make a positive difference, not just a dollar. ~ We care for our customers environment and community. You can have the highest earning team or company, but what’s the point if you’re not giving back! What are you doing to make a difference? #mainfreight #booksinhomesaustralia #makeadifference

This is such a meaningful program. And it's free to enroll. If you are in school transportation, I honestly cannot understand why you would not participate. Your team will have something to rally around. You will receive information on where your strengths and weaknesses are. You have a shot at a free ride to the School Transportation News' STN EXPO in Reno, Nevada (including room and board and transportation). Not to mention recognition within your community, your district, your administration and your peers in neighboring districts. Should I go on? Not to put a guilt trip on you, but you OWE it to your team to throw your hat in the ring. But here's the hitch: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to enroll. Yes, there still is time, but you need to do it now. If you don't click this link now, chances are, you will put it off, forget about it and when watching late night TV tonight to unwind you'll sit up out of bed and remember that one more thing you wanted to do today. Don't do that to yourself. Don't do that to your team. Click here and get a good night's sleep: https://lnkd.in/ef5Dq_Pu. #transportation #k12 Transfinder

We know that serving as a Student Success Coach can often lead to a career in education and service. In this new opinion piece from Dr. Ed Manansala, County Superintendent of Schools for El Dorado County, we are reminded of the importance of creating pathways to teaching for young people and of the impact young people serving have on classrooms, schools, and communities. https://lnkd.in/e6GuAbxY

Brian Raines thoughtfully explains the continuing challenges faced by those of us who come to the profession from atypical circumstances. He also exemplifies the life-changing power of higher education. As we continue to grapple with the many challenges facing higher ed, it is essential to stay focused on stories like Brian's. I often wonder what the world would be like had we not spent most of human history excluding people from education and limiting their potential based on accidents of birth. While we will never know what we could have created, it is clear to me that destroying a system that in a very short time has created incredible intellectual capital, improved the human condition immensely, and overall made our world a better place is foolish. Yes, higher ed needs to be made better. We need to prioritize student success and support, we need to embrace meaningful intellectual diversity, we need to be better citizens of the spaces we occupy. However, there is no scenario in which those shortcomings warrant the wholesale destruction of the best system of education the world has ever known. Many of us on the inside know this and are fighting to protect one of our country's most valuable assets. Those of you on the outside need to join us in the fight. The world's most creative and successful economy was built on the foundation created by higher education. Destroy the foundation and the structure will crumble.

In the spirit of our school's commitment to empowering students for success, I'd like to commend our Executive Director, Dr. Stauffer, for his article highlighting the importance of partnerships in preparing our high school students for the future. The article captures the collaborative efforts between various educational partners, including local businesses, educators, counselors, administrators, and industry representatives, to ensure that no student is left behind in their pursuit of valuable skills and opportunities. Dr. Stauffer emphasizes the important role of Career and Technology Centers in providing high-quality education that equips students with practical, hands-on learning experiences. By partnering with local businesses and industry, our centers bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing students for success in college, postsecondary training, the military, or the workforce. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on the alignment of curriculum with industry standards, the provision of industry-standard tools and equipment, and the opportunity for students to earn nationally recognized certifications. These initiatives not only enhance students' understanding of their chosen fields but also cultivate a skilled workforce that contributes to the prosperity of Berks County. The article highlights the importance of early engagement and informed decision-making for students, facilitated through career presentations, campus tours, and open house events. By fostering positive relationships and collaboration with local partners, our school ensures that students are well-prepared to meet the demands of tomorrow's workforce. Dr. Stauffer's article supports the commitment of our school and community to empowering the next generation of skilled workers and leaders. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about these opportunities to reach out to the Berks Career and Technology Center or the Reading/Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center. Together, we are shaping a bright future for our students and our community.

Recognizing the power of place, acknowledging the power the place, tapping into the power the place, and learning to see and listen to the stories to be discovered in the places we live, work, and travel is fundamental to CSCR's mission. Engaging students in authenic civic and scientific issues prominent in the local community is not only a process that prepares students to be stewards of community resources, it informs all of us about our shared principles and values; it enables us to collectively advance the Common Good. This shared objective, grounded in our Constitution, is equally present in the vision statement of Cohasset Public Schools: "empowering students to improve communities." https://conta.cc/4f6mjOB
