A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people

In August I put out the call for guest bloggers on the topic of Reconciling standards- and data-driven accountability with the ’21st century skills’ movement. I had a number of people volunteer to take on the issue (enough for two per day!). Next week we’ll see what they have to say…

Monday, September 20 – Shawn Cornally & Aaron Eyler

Tuesday, September 21 – Jason Klein & Karen Szymusiak

Wednesday, September 22 – Kyle Pace & Tony VonBank

Thursday, September 23 – Carl Anderson & Dave Cormier

Friday, September 24 – Joe Bower & Dan McGuire

Saturday, September 25 – Matt Landahl & Tyler Rice

Sunday, September 26 – Richard Kassissieh & Andrew Smith

I know these will spark some great conversations. Happy reading (in advance)!
