Great session with Stephen Pruitt thinking about the role of teachers in STEM workforce development. "Rich learning comes from those who have in-depth knowledge and a passion for their students."


Best two quotes from Stephen Pruitt "We need to make teaching more like a Hallmark movie and less like a Lifetime movie." And "Maybe we get back to when we remembered that teachers are heros everyday they enter that classroom."

From Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos" As I have visited classrooms, I am blown away by the commitment and ability of the teachers. Yet we are still not helping every student. It's a system problem. We have to have a level of clarity around why we have youth engage with the school experience."


"Why do we send our children to school in the first place?" NYC Chancellor asked this question at the start of the #NYCSchoolsTech summit today. Without that shared clarity, change is difficult.
