AdvertisementMissy Scalise has begun using AI to cut down on the amount of work she has to do after hours. In 2023, the World Economic Forum reported that employers expected 44% of workers' skills to be "disrupted" within five years. Another challenge with inserting AI into an organization is that it's often difficult to tell which skills workers possess and where they might need training. Charlotte Relyea, a senior partner at McKinsey & Co., believes that leaders need to plan now so they can better forecast the abilities workers will need. Leaders need to think about this as a transformation — what she described as "painting the picture of the future."

Little did Hall know, her pivot into education would afford her a new level of financial security and a sense of purpose she never expected. She took a high school science position with Arlington Preparatory Academy, a public school in Baton Rouge, La., and had her first day in January 2022. Then there's the issue of teacher pay. In 2022, the average public school teacher earned a wage of $1,329 per week. Though Hall recognizes low teacher pay is an issue for many in the profession, moving to education actually meant a pay bump in her case.

☆ Martin Luther King Would Choose Reflection Over ‘Intersectionality’
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-16 | by ( Rodney Stevens | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

What in the world is “intersectionality”? Womankind Worldwide, a British organization, defines it as follows: “Intersectionality is the acknowledgement that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and oppression and we must consider everything and anything that can marginalize people—gender, race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc.” Google has an “intersectional workforce” page counting its employees by race and sex. I’m black and in my 60s and don’t feel the need for an “intersectional” coming out. The authors of a 2013 academic article, “Toward a Field of Intersectional Studies,” inform us: “Both in its earliest articulations and in its subsequent travels, praxis has been a key site of intersectional critique and intervention.”

Therefore, experts say, hiring Black teachers is necessary to address the racial disparities that lead to poor educational outcomes and criminalization for Black children. Furthermore, advocates say that Black students who don’t have Black teachers are less likely to become teachers themselves, so commitments to diversifying the industry must start early on in the classroom. The Black Teacher Project in Oakland, California, works with Black teachers to “reimagine schools as communities of liberated learning,” the Project’s website reads. It also teaches educators how to implement restorative practices in their classrooms and invites them to retreats to foster community among Black teachers. “Therefore, the Black Teacher Project’s motto is ‘Every child deserves a Black teacher.’”

Tameka Cage Conley, an assistant professor of English and creative writing, always had a love and an appreciation for Tyler Perry. Tameka Cage Conley, an assistant professor teaching of English and creative writing who created the "In the Language of Folk and Kin: the Legacy of Folklore, the Griot and Community in the Artistic Praxis of Tyler Perry" course. Since starting the class, Conley said she’s had engaging discussions with students from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, his Tyler Perry Studios helps to employ over 200 staff members, who are predominantly Black. And so I thought that Tyler Perry is the person who enables me to be a conduit for them to feel safe.”

Getty Images / Spencer PlattDear Readers,How prepared would you say you are for a sudden spike in inflation? As it turns out, clients of Morgan Stanley are similarly nonplussed by the prospect of an inflationary shock. But Morgan Stanley says to ignore the threat of an inflation spike at your own risk. The firm qualifies this with another potentially damning observation: People just aren't worried about an inflation spike, nor are they positioned for one. — Mike Wilson, the chief US equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, discussing the potential impact of further US money supply expansion

Lovitura finală dată proiectului lui Gorbaciov a fost rezultatul referendumului din Ucraina, ţinut pe 1 decembrie, în care majoritatea populaţiei s-a pronunţat în favoarea independenţei. Există numeroşi experţi care demonstrează că adevăratul Putin a fost înlocuit în timpul celui de al doilea mandat de preşedinte al RF. Apoi, ADN-ul a fost comparat pentru a găsi similarităţi. De-a lungul istoriei, naţiunile mereu au fost dezmembrate pentru ca să-şi piardă memoria, voinţa şi raţiunea de a fi. Imposibil de precizat cum a fost realizată această modificare a ADN-ului uman.
