What an amazing learning experience for all our team members! Congratulations to Brendi for a Swamp School redesign that will be seen around our community for years to come. @DHSWildcats @SCPPS @GNOinc @newtechnetwork @satellitecenter

Make sure to check out the 2024 @SCPPS #ArtsFest poster designed by @satellitecenter Digital Media team member Brayden Chacon at ArtsFest. Brayden will showcase his use of #AdobeIllustrator to create this design! #BBY2024 #artseducation #adobe @hahnvillehighschool

We were excited to welcome Duane Foret and Alissa Cavaretta to our class for the launch of a new design project in partnership with @stcharlesgov Parks & Recreation Dept. Stay tuned…this should be fun! #BBY2024 #adobeillustrator @satellitecenter @SCPPS

We’re thrilled to announce our NEW look — inspired by our students and educators. Click the link below and be sure to sign up for updates. doe.louisiana.gov

@aroadscholar @SahilBloom Yes I do!!

@SahilBloom @AnAgileEducator remember when?

A young statistician saved their lives. His insight (and how it can change yours): During World War II, the U.S. wanted to add reinforcement armor to specific areas of its planes. Analysts examined returning bombers and plotted the bullet holes and damage on them (as in the image below). Based on this analysis, they came to the conclusion that adding armor to the tail, body, and wings would improve their odds of survival. But a young statistician named Abraham Wald noted that this would be a tragic mistake. By only plotting data on the planes that returned, they were systematically omitting the data on a critical, informative subset: The planes that were damaged and unable to return. Abraham Wald recognized a key fact: • "Seen" planes had sustained damage that was survivable. • "Unseen" planes had sustained damage that was not survivable. Wald concluded that armor should be added to the *unharmed* regions of the returning planes (the areas without bullet holes on the image below). His profound logic: Where the survivors were unharmed was actually where the planes were most vulnerable. Based on his insight, the military reinforced the engine and other vulnerable parts, significantly improving the safety of the crews during combat and saving thousands of lives. Abraham Wald had identified a cognitive bias called "Survivorship Bias": The error resulting from systematically focusing on survivors (successes) and ignoring casualties (failures) that causes us to miss the true base rates of survival (the actual probability of success) and arrive at flawed conclusions. We see examples of Survivorship Bias all around us: 1. We read books on the common traits of successful people, but fail to consider all of the unsuccessful people who possessed those same traits. 2. We applaud the belief when we hear that an entrepreneur took out a second mortgage and succeeded, but fail to consider all of the entrepreneurs who did the same and went bankrupt. 3. We study the cultural strategies of the most successful companies, but fail to consider all of the companies that followed those same strategies and fell apart. When we fail to consider the range of outcomes and the hidden evidence, we develop a skewed (and often incorrect) view of reality. It cannot be avoided altogether, because the vast majority of books and history are written by and about the survivors and victors, but wherever possible, consider the unseen evidence. Remember: What is unseen often has just as much value as what is seen. *** If you enjoyed this or learned something, follow me @SahilBloom for more in future!

Today was full of learning, sharing and networking. Started the day at GNOU Summit hosted by @GNOinc and then spent the afternoon with my @satellitecenter and @satcenterDM teams sharing what we do at @CultureNola. What a day it was! @SCPPS @La_Believes @

@LES_TigerCubs I thought that might be ya’ll today! Came outside right as LES walked by the @LafonArtsCenter

Our 3rd grade Tiger Cubs, along with our 4th and 5th grade band members, participated in the “Be A Buddy Not A Bully” walk against bullying today. Collectively, they created anti-bullying signs to display during the walk. 🧡💙🌏 #antibullywalk #collaboration #growingtogether

This was yet another incredible experience to watch unfold at our site today!

This has been a great addition to our design culture! Carrying on the Growl traditions that just work!

The new Monday Night Football anthem that will debut tonight:

I am thankful to @SCPPS and @LafonArtsCenter for having such a beautiful area to eat my lunch on such a wonderful day!

Thank you to Alexis Cannon @SCPPS Public Information Coordinator of Special Programs for giving feedback on our Haunted History Hike marketing designs today. What an excellent opportunity for our TMs. @satellitecenter @DHSWildcats @HahnvilleHigh #RebootTheBoot

Experiences like this are why I feel blessed to be back in the classroom. I love having established designers/marketing specialists share their knowledge and advice with budding designers. This is a win/win relationship. #RebootTheBoot @SCPPS @GNOinc

Thank you for supporting this cause! I love my LES extended family. #onceatigercubalwaysatigercub

This is community service at its best! Please help this cause if you can.

@LES_TigerCubs That’s an @satellitecenter alum right there; as well as a great teacher! Love to see her and the students in action!

Showcasing a few of our 2nd grade Tiger Cubs exploring the latest breakthrough in the science of reading in our 95% groups!

@LES_TigerCubs Congratulations!

The entire LES Tiger Cub faculty, staff, and student body would like to congratulate Mrs. Carla Scott for being a 2023- 2024 grant recipient from the Total Choice Federal Credit Union! 💙🧡 What an amazing honor!

It is amazing to see what my team can accomplish. The skills learned in this project are transferable to any industry! #RebootTheBoot

What a ride it’s been. Thank you to @KellyStomps, Troy Borne, the @La_Believes team, @BESE_LA, @SCPPS, @LES_TigerCubs and @satellitecenter for supporting my crazy ideas. Special thanks to Roch, Rhitt and @etfitz for making #RebootTheBoot a success for our TMs. What a team!
