So sorry to be missing the World Savvy + EF Educational Tours crew (Michele Ahouse Jim McDermott + Jenni!) in SA at AASA! If you're there, come say hello in the exhibit hall or track down @KKNeimann, @AdrianaMatzke1 or @mshersey to chat #globalcompetence. #leadershipmatters

If you're in #Austin at #SXSWedu you can't miss our friend and partner Jenny Buccos from EXPLR Media!


Looking forward to moderating a panel of Vassar College college professors today with Ulster BOCES! We cannot solve the #climatecrisis without the leadership of young people. Giving them an opportunity to express their ideas and lead change will be key to making real progress.


It's been an action-packed day at the Climate Summit. Students dove into topics relating to the #climatecrisis - migration, gender, oceans, energy - and designed solutions based on the perspectives of proximate stakeholders. Thank you to Ulster BOCES and Vassar College college!




In a rapidly changing world, the ability to be engaged citizens and collaborative problem solvers who are ready for the #workforce is essential. Ready to discuss how we get there TOMORROW with @TomFriedman, Hamse Warfa, and William Gaudelli of @lehighedu! #FutureReadySchools


I'm looking forward to being on a panel with esteemed thought leaders @TomFriedman Hamse Warfa today at World Savvy's Future of Work, Future of Schools event. We will discuss the future of workforce development and unpack what that means for K-12 education. #FutureReadySchools



“We need to elevate just in time learning as opposed to just in case learning.” - Thomas L. Friedman

“The environments that thrive when the climate changes have complex and adaptive networks. A complex, adaptive coalition has no left and no right. It must be made from the center out. Everyone working together is the only way it’s going to work.” - Thomas L. Friedman #AdaptiveLearning

“All great change has been made by optimists, and I’m an optimist.” - Hamse Warfa We must imagine an education system that prepares young people to thrive in the most diverse, interconnected world we’ve ever seen before. #21stCenturySkills #FutureReadySchools

It was an honor to sit side-by-side w/ some of my favorite thinkers yesterday: Thomas L. Friedman and Hamse Warfa, and Dr. Gaudelli of @lehighedu. I am inspired by the conversation and the room full of supporters and advocates ready to #ReimagineEducation with us. #FutureReadySchools



Today I had the pleasure of connecting with our friend, California’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. We are incredibly grateful for his support as we work toward our collective mission to #ReimagineEducation. #GlobalCitizens


Can't wait for this event! It combines my love for Green Card Voices + the incredible work they do elevating immigrant and refugee voices, AND, Zaynab, who I've know for years + marveled at her persistence, resilience and brilliance (a fellow Columbia | SIPA grad, too!) Join us!

I'm thrilled to announce I've joined the Board of Trustees at Macalester College in MN! They have been a past partner of World Savvy and I'm excited to continue to partner with them with a shared goal to prepare future leaders to thrive in a more diverse, interconnected world.
