If we teach today's students as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow.

LEADERS!! What if you woke up every morning thinking you were in the good old days? It may change your interactions and will give you more good old days to talk about in 20 years. #1minwalk2work #LeadFromWhereYouAre #CraftingTheCulture #HackingLeadership #GiveYourselfAChance

🌈 We can't claim we have a mission of social justice and equality in our schools if we aren't fully inclusive. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

It’s that time of year again for this reminder: Research is clear that holding kids back DOESN’T work. More time with no change in instruction is simply more of what didn't work the first time. Promote and intervene—almost always the right answer. #LeadInclusion #teacher #edchat

A problem w/focusing and communicating from a deficit perspective is that we often miss incredible opportunities before us. Further, when we focus on what we don’t have or what we don’t believe we can do, we create a culture of no we can’t, as opposed to YES WE CAN! #StVrainStorm

While reading @JakeMillerTech book, #eduducttape this quote really stuck with me. So much, I had WildOakStickers (Etsy) make me a sticker 👍 #edutechsticker #edtechteacher – at Iowa, USA

“We know factually you will lose who you don’t include but it’s difficult to include who you don’t have. It’s hard to retain those who don’t feel included. Diversity and inclusion is not a one-and-done effort.”-@barbarawhye #NAESP22
Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia....the two teachers who lost their lives while trying to save the lives of their students at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX. I salute them both this morning. They are true American heroes whose names should be remembered throughout history.

A huge congratulations to all the @BeekmantownCSD wrestlers who did a tremendous job representing Section 7 and our school district. We are extremely proud of your hard work and dedication. A special shout-out goes to Conner Bushey for securing 4th overall in his weight class!

Great article by Daniel Willingham on the importance and necessity of content knowledge to critical thinking. "Critical thinking is not a set of skills and strategies that can be directly taught, practiced, and applied to any topic." knowledgematterscampaign.org…
