Thrive Community Meet Up #2
Thanks to all who were able to attend!
We had a good turnout for our second community meet-up! A meeting summary is available in our planning doc. I am heartened to see many people care about what’s going on in the world and in our realm of education. Please join us and invite friends to participate as well. Next Thursday at 6 PM Central is our next meeting. Register here.
I also wanted to share this article that found later this evening: Stunned Education Researchers Say Cuts Go Beyond DEI, Hitting Math, Literacy This is another hard story to read about our current realities, but it’s an important one.
Resources mentioned in today’s meeting:
Join the 2025 Worthy Educator Town Hall next week organized by Walter McKenzie and friends. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. This is Walter’s website, by the way.
One attendee recently went to a book talk by Chris Hayes. Check out his new book here. Another book mentioned was the classic, Invent to Learn. As well as a book that is inspired by this cool project in Chicago. And this book was mentioned as a possible group read.
