Tom Schimmer and I have been connected on social media for years and in this episode, we finally get to have our very first synchronous conversation! No hashtags, no @-ing, just two new friends discussing Tom's ideas on virtue signaling, lifting others up, assessment, and more. Plus a lovely tribute to Phil Langley, Tom's high school counselor, high school basketball coach, and the reason Tom went into education.
Transcript available here.
