Takeaways:  
(6:00) “Learning happens all the time in every interaction that you have. I feel like this moment, not only will teach parents, that learning is happening all the time, but that we can start checking in with students' emotions.” (12:00) “Skills are something that you don't just pick up one time and you know, it forever. I tend to use the analogy of either parenting or playing sports, I didn't just pick up a basketball and become amazing at basketball that day, I worked at it every day for years. And as a parent, you're working at those skills every day, all the time at home and at work.” (18:00) “For a person applying to a job right now, remember that the systems are set up to read basic skill information from your CV or resume, and on there are your basics, it's your education, it's the last jobs you held...Is that really a true picture of what you're capable of? No is the answer it's not a good picture, and that's such a shame.”
