Biden poised to pick Connecticut schools chief for education secretary

President-elect Joe Biden is poised to select Connecticut education commissioner Miguel Cardona as his education secretary, multiple news outlets are reporting. Biden’s transition office hasn’t confirmed the selection. But the presidents of the nation's largest teachers' unions, Randi Weingarten, of the American Federation of Teachers, and Becky Pringle, of the National Education Association, congratulated Cardona in statements Tuesday afternoon. Cardona's background is primarily in elementary and secondary education. In 2003, Cardona, then 28, was the youngest principal in the state when he became head of Hanover Elementary School in Meriden, Conn., according to The Hartford Courant . After becoming an assistant superintendent for teaching and learning at Meriden Public Schools in 2013, he rose quickly in the state system, becoming head of the state’s K-12 schools just last summer. As a student, he attended Meriden Public Schools and graduated from Wilcox Technical H...

Breaking the Ice

Blog:  Leadership & StratEDgy It's been  quite  a year with COVID, work-from-home, Zoom classes and meetings, and figuring out how to work together in this new environment. It has put a lot of strain on teams and individuals. As many (most?) of us have been working and teaching remotely over the past months, we’ve been revising how our teams and students work and learn together. One area that I’ve invested in is helping people to get to know one another a bit better, which helps us build trust and create openness norms that help remote work and learning.    I often start meetings and class sessions with a short icebreaker – using the exercise to help people build relationships, encourage participation and engagement, and begin our class or work session on an interesting, and sometimes lively, note. Some of you may be rolling your eyes at this, but I will tell you it helps. We are social beings and I’ve found that people often like to share their t...

How Jill Biden can spur transformation at community colleges (opinion)

As a U.S. Department of Education staffer on the higher education innovation policy beat, I accompanied then-second-lady Jill Biden in March 2015 to South by Southwest in Austin, Tex. (Editors’ note: Inside Higher Ed does not use the honorific “Dr.” to refer to individuals with non-medical doctorates, including Ph.D.s or Ed.D.s., because so many people in higher education have such degrees.) As part of the trip, we left the sprawling conference and visited the campus of Austin Community College to see its technology-enabled teaching infrastructure. Faculty and students there talked passionately about the transformative power of education and the technology that enabled more efficient and effective teaching. The students we met and the impact of education on their life trajectories were personal to Biden -- a lifelong educator and community college professor herself -- and remained the topic of conversation over meals and on the plane ride back to Andrews Air Force Base. In fa...
