First day of (teaching) in Year 14 at Purdue! One step closer to emeritus! Good start to the day, I bench pressed more than Tom Brady can (his best was 245, I did 250 today)! Not sure if it will help my teaching, but at least I can do something athletically that the GOAT has not done.

Helping teachers learn what works in the classroom − and what doesn’t − will get a lot harder without the Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences
The nonpartisan arm of the Education Department supports research and shares data on student progress. It identifies what works and what doesn’t.
