Beyond the great reception & engagement, I got to hear some great ideas from the people who, ultimately, are the ones that will make the difference on the ground, in the classrooms, in the schools where the work will happen. 3/3 @aibm.bsky.social

We had over 200 teachers from 40+ schools in attendance. The workshop that followed had some 80 additional participants. I was really heartened by the earnest response & clear desire to improve the recruitment of boys into the program. 2/3 @aibm.bsky.social

👍Prof who's had mltple ldrship/admin roles(chair 2 depts, assoc dean)this is a real issue. Getting fclty to engage in service has gotten harder. When committies do the hvy wrk & come to decisions, those "no" fclty often jump in & sddnly have all sorts of recommendations & objections @ the 11th hour.

The issue of boys underperforming academically is finally breaking thru into public consciousness & increasingly in the public policy space. Next steps, evaluating research on what promotes better outcomes and engaging in the actual work to close these equity gaps. That's what I'll be posting about
