In Memoriam: Michael Maccoby | Shanker Institute

- by Ludivina Leveto

It is with sadness that the Albert Shanker Institute acknowledges the passing of longtime board member, Michael Maccoby. He was 89. Michael was a talented expert on leadership, an accomplished author, and sought-after consultant and advisor. On the Shanker Institute Board of Directors, Michael was a leader and thoughtful contributor. We will miss him.

In a January 2018 blog post for the Shanker Institute, “For a More Just and Prosperous America,” Mr. Maccoby closed, “We need leaders who transform fear into productive activity, bring us closer together, and spark hope by working to implement a vision of a more just and prosperous America.” The Albert Shanker Institute remains grateful that Michael Maccoby devoted his life to studying, elevating, and being that kind of leader.

A Harvard-educated scholar in social relations, his work drew on social psychology, cultural anthropology and Freudian psychoanalysis, and bridged the world of business and

Long Term Programs Suit Remote Workers

- by Ludivina Leveto

Over the past two years, more and more of our work and school has shifted online. From the workplace, to college, to elementary classrooms, people have embraced the opportunity to work and learn remotely from the comfort of their own home—or somewhere else. The in-person model of work and education has been deconstructed as the main model of operation. While this new method may seem scary to those used to the old ways of doing things, with it comes a world of possibilities when it comes to not only how we work, but where we do it. With the onset of remote work and schooling, working from a foreign country becomes something that is more accessible, and opens up the opportunity to study the language of that country while being immersed in the culture.

One side effect of the shift away from in-person work and education, is that there is

Biden Pauses Student Loan Payments While Debt Relief Plan Is Tied Up In Court

- by Ludivina Leveto

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that his administration is extending its pause on student loan payments through June 30, 2023, in light of Republicans waging a court battle over his debt forgiveness program.

“It isn’t fair to ask tens of millions of borrowers who are eligible for relief to resume their student debt payments while the courts consider the lawsuit,” Biden said in a video statement.

Biden began rolling out his highly anticipated student loan relief plan last month, offering to forgive $10,000 in student loans to individuals earning below $125,000 a year,

My Little Fighter: A Story of Resilience

- by Ludivina Leveto

It all started with a harmless fever early this month. In my growing-up years, fever was considered a good sign. I remember my grandmother saying, ‘a fever means your body is fighting.’ Though I also remember her always adding a firm admonition, ‘but, don’t ever let it rise too much.’

As a parent, I am not the one who cares too much about a passing cold or flu. I rarely even take the kids to a doctor. Home remedies, a dose of paracetamol, and they are good to go.

So I tried to deal with the illness that visited us early last month exactly in my style. Little did I know, I was wrong and this was a test I wasn’t quite prepared to take.

My two-months-short-of-four-year-old is a spirited little girl. When I noticed that, unlike her usual self, she was a little dull, I decided to go against
