Re: the Meissner effect making an end-of-year comeback -- I also think that with binary outcomes (did we do the thing or not?), it’s easy to forget that attention and investment can grow... even when we fail! Loved the write up
Sorry, have to disagree on the LNG plug... let's not waste more resources on destructive technologies. We don't have to buy into their "transition energy"spin, let's put all our focus straight to renewables. (Otherwise, very optimistic! Nice work.)
I hear you, but we need affordable energy, LNG is the best of the fossil fuels bunch, and the more renewables we put on the grid, the more natural gas we need! Bring on the battery breakthroughs or more nuclear and I'll agree with you.
Bechem, I think that format is a huge issue for teacher PD in the US K12 system. The scarcity of substitutes, and the structure of the work day makes the types of PD you are recommending more challenging to produce.
We need highly skilled presenters and some shifting in the frequency/duration of PD to create buy-in for teachers who are often exposed to one and done training. I see this as an education culture issue that impedes some meaningful progress. In keeping with the optimism of this post, I truly do believe it is possible to reshape with some creative problem solving.
Positively good work boys! get me that vibrator thing.,,,,
Brilliant take on optimism !!
