I’m honored to be elected as the Incoming Board Chair of @CACradle2Career. Thank you to my fellow Governing Board Members, our management team, and our many partners for this opportunity to collaborate on behalf of all Californians, especially those with the greatest needs.
Pope Francis’s “Patris Corde” transformed my life. Its teachings of St. Joseph as a “beloved, tender and loving, obedient, accepting, creatively courageous, working father hidden in the shadows” gave me a model during my darkest hour. May the patron of a happy death be with him.

Excellent @nberpubs summary of recent research on the link between community education levels and mortality rates. Key takeaway: “Nearly 60 percent of the correlation between area education and health is explained by differences in smoking and obesity.”

Great synthesis of our Governing Board’s work — and my top priority as Board Chair. Many thanks to @MaryAnnMBates, @jacquiirwin, and @SenJohnLaird.

More lenient grading standards seem to affect student groups disproportionately: while high-performing students see gains in GPA, low-performing students do not, and their absences start to rise.

Over one billion data points brought together — I’m proud of @CACradle2Career, our data providers, and all of our stakeholders for reaching this critical milestone. We still have a long way to go, but we’re making unprecedented progress in building a world-class system.
California's Cradle-to-Career Data System just began integrating over 1 billion data points — helping us equitably connect our education system to the workforce to ensure every Californian has the freedom to succeed.

Honored that @GavinNewsom highlighted @CACradle2Career in today's "Freedom to Succeed" Executive Order, which calls for a new Master Plan on Career Education. He called the tools outlined below a "Career Passport," and we're excited to partner on this. careereducation.gov.ca.gov/
As the Governing Board Chair of @CACradle2Career, I’m grateful to @GavinNewsom for initiating a Master Plan for Career Education. The EO calls for building upon C2C “to develop and deploy tools that empower all Californians—from high school to retirement.” careereducation.gov.ca.gov/

Good morning from Singapore! Lightning trip to discuss tech’s impact on our information ecosystem - “Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without these three, we have no shared reality. We can’t solve complex problems. We have no democracy.”
Our Governing Board meeting today includes a presentation from @pamela_herd and @donmoyn on the importance of reducing administrative burdens — a key priority for @CACradle2Career.
Join us for today's Governing Board meeting starting at 9:30a PT: c2c-ca-gov.zoom.us/j/8645720….

.@cspan's #HouseSpeaker vote coverage is getting kudos. FYI: Our non-profit network doesn't get a dime of gov $$. Sadly, we're not avail to all pay TV customers, importantly @YouTubeTV and @hulu. Please help convince them to add C-SPAN to their lineups by liking and retweeting.
How many of us knew that Johnny Mathis had broken Bill Russell’s high-jump record and forgone an Olympic appearance? That was among the delightful stories in this great @BrokenRecord podcast with the “Voice of Christmas.”
On Mathis’s athletic exploits: develop.sfsu.edu/johnny-math…
Don't miss @itsjrichmond with “The Voice of Christmas” himself, @MathisJohnny! Johnny talks performing with greats like Duke Ellington and shares the story of how he turned down the chance to qualify for the 1956 Olympics to launch his music career: pushkin.fm/podcasts/broken-r…
“Consequently, the interior attitude that we should deem most important is gratitude.” A wonderful #Christmas message from @Pontifex.
God became a Child and then let himself be nailed on a cross. In that weakness, God's omnipotence is manifested. In forgiveness, God’s omnipotence is always at work. Thus, may our gifts this #Christmas be gratitude, conversion and peace.
