Every single prospect over 20 seats this year has asked me about reporting... That used to NEVER happen! It's important that we consistently listen to the market and adapt. For years we thought "no one even looks at these reports." Yes, because the 20 page reports of the past sucked. We didn't look at them, the client didn't look at them, they were useless. In this episode, we sit down with the VP of Channel at ScalePad/Lifecycle Manager to discuss effective reporting you should be providing to your clients. We've used their product for years and it was a MAJOR player in easily replacing 1,000+ Windows 7 computers a few years ago. Don't miss this episode.

At this week's Round Table, Jack, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with Eric Torres, a doctoral student at Harvard School of Education, about political identity and the history and future of polarization, which he studies and, come this fall, will teach a course at Harvard on. Eric developed his fascination with these issues through his undergraduate studies in philosophy, metaphysics, and ethics. As he saw the country shifting and dividing, he found himself pondering what makes for productive dialogue and arguments, and wanting to be involved in helping foster and facilitate them. Eric feels that it's not that politics are getting further apart, it's that our political identities have become wrapped up in sectarian conflicts since the 1960s and that we now make judgments about people's character and morality based upon their political views. He feels this stems from a swirl of factors including elite political behavior, social media, demographic shifts, income inequality, and the decline of religiosity, all of which drive us to act in more tribal ways. Today, too often political identity is grounded in anger and socio-emotional needs rather than civic responsibilities and participation, but it doesn't have to be so. Eric helped us think about how we can forge individual and collective political philosophies that “rebel” against the toxic political environment. We hope you'll join us in this rebellion.

At this week's Round Table, Inica, Isaiah, Madeline, and guest podcaster Jack Flanigan spoke with Eric Torres, a doctoral student at Harvard School of Education, about promoting dialogue across political differences but with a switch--this time our guest asked questions of us instead of the other way around. We talked about the state of civil discourse in and outside of classrooms, what it takes for dialogue to be productive rather than argumentative, and concerns about the absence of facts in too many of these conversations or, as I put it, how “every one is an expert on everything without actually knowing anything.” We all agreed that productive political dialogue in schools is almost an oxymoron and that building students'--and teachers'--skills around engaging in hot button dialogue would be very, very valuable.
