“I don’t see color…Instead of ignoring or denying differences we need to acknowledge that we all have identities that impact our experience in the world” w/ my art I wish more people would embrace differences and be an aspiring #InclusiveLeader @PiperDrDain

“It can be challenging to learn about your identity and grapple with issues related to privilege.” As an aspiring #InclusiveLeader, this feels like a loaded statement because not many people will admit they are from privilege. @piperdrdain @jenniferbrown #203GameChanger

Art will find a way – at Kansas, USA
Sad day, its coming down.😔 You win this time Wyandotte Co. UG! Its unfortunate that we can't express our ourselves in our own tasteful way. What happened to freedom of speech? I'll be back😉
Every school claims that it’s mission is to help all students learn but the relevant question is what happens when kids don’t learn @PiperDrDain @PiperUSD203#PLCRight
Like all topics, it is easier to discuss surface level issues than to get beneath to the heart of the matter. Teaching and student learning are far too important to relegate to superficial discussion. We need to be willing to push further. @PiperDrDain @PiperUSD203 #PLCRight

“The best teachers are constantly checking for student understanding almost minute by minute as they teach.” This type of ongoing formative assessment can dramatically impact student learning. @PiperDrDain @PiperUSD203 #PLCRight

"In a true PLC, collaborative teams of teachers use evidence of student learning as a basis for collective inquiry into instructional practice." @PiperDrDain @PiperUSD203 #PLCRight
