Acknowledgments:
We wish to thank literally every educator we've ever worked with, especially the ones who pushed back and disagreed with our thinking. Their questions sharpen the way we talk about the system AND it renews our commitment to learners and community.
Laurie Gagnon, Emily Sienkiewicz, Kristen Vogt, Lauren Ho, Tony Siddal, Sarah Lench, Ruth Hellams, Andy Caulkins, Suzanne Acton-Edwards, Alec Baron, Cheryl Ka’uhane Lupenui, Kau’i Sang, Puni Jackson and our friends from the assessment world, especially those from the Quality Performance Assessment team.
Carisa: I want to thank the teacher who gave me this feedback in August 2019 that was classified as negative, "Carisa is too progressive for education." I also want to thank my husband and my children who have been such an important part of my learning journey.
Gary: Thank you to every person who has gone on this twisty intellectual and ethical journey with me, every person who struggled through a conversation where we were trying to figure something out, every person who went down the assessment and curriculum rabbit holes with me. I especially want to thank Don Siviski and Mark Kostin who, in a pretty tangible way, helped me get started on this road. Finally, thanks to my wife and kids who helped sustain me throughout.
Thanks, finally, to Anne Paris, Bobbi MacDonald, Dan Kinch, and David Hamilton for reviewing text and audio and providing feedback along the way.
