This conversation started around a lunch table in Austin, TX at an event to rethink education, and Juliet introduced me to her work at Bellwether and the idea of Assembly. I love Ed policy and ecosystem thinking, so was naturally drawn to her ideas and work but I had concerns that she patiently let me wonder about aloud.
Juliet Squire is a senior partner in the Policy and Evaluation practice area at Bellwether where she has provided policy analysis and advising support to school operators and support organizations, foundations, advocacy groups, and think tanks. Before joining Bellwether, Juliet worked at the New Jersey Department of Education, where she oversaw the state’s Race to the Top program and developed strategies for advancing technology-driven innovation. She previously managed school board relationships and new school development for National Heritage Academies.

Chris “Citizen” Stewart is an education activist, writer, speaker, podcaster, and influencer focusing on elevating the policies and practices that show the most promise for ensuring children thrive. He has had the privilege to be the Chief Influencer at brightbeam, a digital advocacy team that amplifies grassroots voices through Ed Post and other digital platforms.
He was the founding executive of the African American Leadership Forum, an intergenerational agenda-setting network of Black leaders across several states, which also connected me with accomplished mentors and advisors. Likewise, he has been a Pahara Fellow with the Aspen Institute and was the founder of the Wayfinder Foundation.
I heard Chris speak for the first time in 2020, follow the 8 Black Hands podcast regularly, and love the way he consistently introduces himself as a father who lives and breathes education policy. Today’s conversation stems from Chris’ blog Neither political party has an 'education' message worth hearing.

I met Dr. Matt Pritchard on Twitter because of the hashtag #WanderIntoWonder.
Matt is a "curator of wonder" who is a Science Magician and Independent speaker. He shared some of his ideas on this TedX talk that led to some of the questions in this conversation.

Stephen Carter who is a former guest on the podcast wrote an article called "Fostering Intrepreneurship in Our Schools" that caught my attention that led to this conversation.

Writer, speaker and podcast host Christina Crook has been studying the relationship between joy and technology for over a decade. Whether you’re seeking presence, peace, focus or productivity, Christina has shaped tools and teachings to reconnect your habits with your happiness. 
With all of the conversations of happiness, well-being, and current mental health issues this was a fun conversation for me to have as Christina is an expert in being mindful about our lives as well as being intentional about the use of technology. Enjoy the conversation, but also check out more JOMO resources at her website.

Happy 2023, and I think this is a great conversation to kick-off the New Year and 2nd Semester of school. Dr. Erik Demeulenaere of Clark University wrote a journal article that intrigued me called Disrupting School Rituals based on a class he co-taught with two other local teachers in Worcester, MA. 
I hope this encourages you as you think about this in your classroom and schools and how it might help you reimagine the good (but messy) work that can happen in those spaces.
