Happy 2023. In the next set of Medium posts, I’ll share short, short vignettes — 13 of them — with the theme of TRUST, COMMON SENSE and even WISDOM — mostly in our education world.

TRUST — how to build it, how we need it, how to spot it and avoid distrust.

COMMON SENSE — we need to harness it — and not allow education policies to become so removed from reality that they can’t work for student competence and success.
