Quotes

“We are redesigning education as we are flying” – Dr. Truesdale

“Many students are actually thriving in remote learning environment” – Dr. Truesdale

“There are so many good out of school time & community organizations that could be deployed and engaged as well!” – Dr. Lydia Young

“School is just one place where learning can occur. We need to tap into our museums, aquariums, historical centers, park districts, etc. and see what partnerships can formed with them and other nonprofits. Great opportunities here!” – Ted Dintersmith, participant

“New measures of success will mean working with student to show learning and mastery in ways that don’t typically show up on a transcript.” – Caroline Vander Ark

“We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack. We should not long to return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature.” – Sonya Renee Taylor
