What happens if school disappears, even partially? I worry. More here: throughthelg.com/blog/2020/5/11… #education #school

my longtime friend and smart ass lady @Brett_anomyces just launched a podcast-a nerdgirl's read of pop culture. Check out High Tea with Monsters, Rebel Scum, and Vigilantes here: soundcloud.com/brett-mckenzie… #podcast #NerdGirl #nerdcast #PopCulture

I’m excited to share that I was featured on the Craft of Consulting Podcast, where we discussed what human-centered design is and how I use it to help my clients. Be sure to check it out! @ZahnCraft craftofconsulting.com/episode-31 #designthinking #HCD #consulting

Embarrassment leads to #creativity? When you need to break down hierarchies, yes. I have a patented hip-hop dance warm-up I use for #brainstorming to do just that...hbr.org/2017/10/resear… #designthinking #innovation

I'm often asked by clients how to change the #culture of their orgs (a huge shift). I tell them to look for pockets ripe for change, and start there. This @HarvardBiz article makes the case for working #team by team. Fascinating stuff: hbr.org/cover-story/20… #collaboration

a raw and important piece about race and teaching and learning in schools. thanks @sarahmfine for sharing your journey and for the incredibly important acknowledgement that the work of racial consciousness is ongoing. chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2019/… #education

Using #designthinking and #neuroscience to redesign the school schedule. So many otherwise innovative schools still follow schedules that contradict what we know about how kids best learn. St. Andrews' model is inspiring: edsurge.com/news/2019-02-2… #education #innovation

Opal School in OR is teaching elementary students about the concept of whiteness as a move toward equity-grounded curriculum. Fascinated by this. Would love to hear your thoughts: opalschool.org/working-on-whi… #equity #teaching #education

Love this POV on why hypotheses are more important than goals for successful team work: "the success of empowered teams depends upon management shifting from directing employees to guiding their development of hypotheses" sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-hy…

love this piece from @SSIReview about treating the complex like it's complicated - an issue, I would argue, underlying a lot of failed educational initiatives and innovations: ssir.org/articles/entry…

@Delta how is it that customers have to pay just $30 to file a lost item claim? For otherwise great service this is a real blow when already dealing with the stress of a missing valuable item. Not very customer-centric at all.

We talk about empathy ad nauseum (well, I do), but what do we do when it comes time to empathize with people we don't like? I have some ideas. Thanks to @TheDesignGym for publishing this! thedesigngym.com/how-to-work-wi… #empathy #leadership #collaboration

provocative piece about how reductive it is to see #teaching as a science: "Teenagers are made up of a myriad of complex components...Each school is made up of numerous components as well." nais.org/learn/independ… #education

My first podcast is live! Check out the episode of No Such Thing in which @malesser pulls out all of my deepest thoughts and beliefs on #design and #education: shows.pippa.io/nosuchthing/ep…

my former professor @jal_mehta makes a strong case for the importance of culture redesign in schools to accompany academic initiatives and #liberatorydesign as an approach to equity in schools blogs.edweek.org/edweek/next_ge… #education #equity #deeperlearning #DesignThinking
