As I leave Baltimore, I’m inspired by the work underway for young people across the Charmed City. This week, I joined the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's Postsecondary Commission and witnessed the power of building robust pathways for students spanning high school, college and career. Thanks to the extraordinary partnership between the Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Charitable Foundation, Baltimore City Public Schools, and College Track, young people are rising and thriving. Kudos to four fearless leaders–Dr. Sonja Santelises, Shirley M. Collado, Ph.D., Augie Chiasera, and Sashi Brown–for breaking ground so students across Baltimore can thrive.

The Learner-Centered in Focus report from Education Reimagined highlights how competency-based education fosters deeper engagement and skill mastery by emphasizing what students know and can do, rather than the time spent in the classroom. These findings underscore the importance of creating learning environments where students have a voice in their journey, leading to greater ownership and motivation. https://hubs.li/Q02Y4VBf0

Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff of The Washington Post pens a thoughtful piece revealing how the Carnegie Classifications are evolving to better honor and support institutions that are doing crucial work to advance student opportunity. By recognizing institutions that, despite historic barriers, are making significant contributions to research and education, we can foster a more inclusive higher education landscape that supports all students. https://wapo.st/4fGrbKz
