Happy Birthday, Michelle! May your day be filled with fewer meetings than a school principal's schedule and more joy than students hearing the bell ring on Friday afternoon. Your fearless leadership at StudentsFirst and The New Teacher Project has inspired countless educators to dream bigger—and grade papers faster.From shaking up Washington D.C.'s public schools as Chancellor (2007-2010) to tirelessly advocating for education reform nationwide, you've proven that change is possible—even if it means ruffling feathers along the way. Here's hoping this year brings you plenty of laughter, success stories from classrooms everywhere, and absolutely no pop quizzes!
