In our work at Bellwether we do a lot of advising and forecasting — from proprietary research to public decks looking at broad regional or sector-specific trends and issues. That’s serious albeit interesting work, and gives us a decent barometer of what might come ‘next’ in our sector. People have said, “you should do an in and out list”. So, OK. As the year wraps up, here’s an in and out list about where we’ve been and where we’re going in 2022 on education. It’s sardonic and serious, but please don’t shoot the messenger. Like a lot of our work, it’s what I see happening, not always what I’d hope for.

But, although this isn’t the last post of the year, I do hope a peaceful and healthy 2022 for you.
