DRIVE: A Fresh Look at the Science of Motivation (with Daniel Pink) Podcast Episode · The Next Big Idea · 01/09/2025 · 1h 12m

What a great conversation about Drive between Dan Pink and Rufus Griscom. I read this book when it was first published and it has been a significant part of my own leadership strategy. I especially appreciated the conversation about P and p purpose. #Leadership podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I am regularly confounded by the logic that in order to be successful in college students need to take calculus in high school...maybe if you're a STEM major...but that's only about 20%. Give students choices. www.the74million.org/article/whic... #nced

Does every student leave HS on their chosen post secondary pathway?

No.

Too many students are stuck somewhere between career and college.

College Indicators (AP courses etc) and Career Indicators (workforce credentials) need to be included in accountability.
