I missed Deborah Gist’s speech at the State House tonight (read RI Future alum Dan McGowan’s coverage on WPRI here), but I did put the text of her speech into Wordle and it spit out this pretty neat word cloud of her remarks:
Here are a few words you won’t see in the above graphic depiction of her speech, which I think belong in any talk about the state of education in Rhode Island:
- achievement gap
- NECAP
- Common Core
- 27 percent
A few other observations:
- “Students” was the most prominent word, along with “Rhode Island”
- “STEM” seem to have the same prominence as “learning”
- “Technology” seems to have a greater prominence than “teachers”
I’d love to hear from our readers in the comments about what observations you all have about her speech, or this depiction of it.
