Its three pathways w/ varied tiers can accommodate a variety of high-school models that funnel students into a variety of postsecondary options.” Daniel Buck, “Instruction Geek” The Martin Center jamesgmartin.center/2024/09/indian… Dr. Katie Jenner

It never ceases to annoy me that the most lucrative job in education is selling verifiably false information as an education consultant Want to make millions? Make a power point presentation about learning styles, restorative justice, or discovery learning for districts.
