I’m needing help with a problem of practice. If you’d consider retweeting, even if you don’t have a solution I’d appreciate it.

How are we providing independent reading time/choice to students who are being pulled for presumably important things (e.g. reading intervention, EL)?

SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE HARRISBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT!

Such a powerful closing message from Dr. Tyrone Howard. “Race is often something we’re uncomfortable talking about within our classrooms. If that’s true in our schools, how do you think the kids of color are feeling in our classrooms?” #MSC2021

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Wrapped up an amazing session from @LPS_Wolfpack during #MSC2021. I'm BUZZING! They are doing so many intentional and meaningful things to engage learners, staff, & families. Can't wait to share their story with @HLibertyElem!

@adamddrummond "Our students who are the most marginalized need to hear our praise most of all." #MSC2021

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Student engagement is reflected in the actions, attitudes and behaviors of learners and are developed by intentional modeling & tangible efforts of their teachers. #MSC2021

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Privileged to learn along side two of @HLibertyElem’s amazing educators who ALWAYS work to do what’s best for kids and freely share their time & expertise to help others do the same! #MSC2021 @drexler_n

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Hey @E_Sheninger! Let’s tell a story about me winning one of your books! #MSC2021

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Grateful for the opportunity to learn at #MSC2021 with these amazing educators! @HLibertyElem @Harrisburg_SD #TigersinNashville

Today’s nugget from @TempleGrandin. “It is critically important, especially for kids who are different … they need to find friends through shared interests.” #MSC2021

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Big day of learning at #MSC2021!Thank you to all of our presenters for sharing your research, passions and expertise @HLibertyElem @E_Sheninger @MasonVenola @AJCMindset

“I will come over the meet you, brother.”
My colleague John Lewis has died. This scene from the House floor last year beautifully captures who John was. A principled gentleman always willing to take steps toward his brothers and sisters.
Our nation could use more more of that.

Ch 7, p 88. Be careful about being too technical or jargon-y when writing plans. "Parents & teachers just want help and they want plain, clear instructions on how the help is coming." #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Ch 7, p 87. Roll with resistance. "Our job is to invite new perspectives, but not impose them. The student should remain the primary source for answers & solutions." Admittedly hard to do but so important for learners to own it! #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Ch 7, p 86-87. Springer shares a lot of nuggets about motivational interviews & how we can intentionally implement this process with learners. Would be a nice complement to our reinforcement survey. #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Ch 6, p 77. "The single greatest predictor of a successful behavioral intervention plan is optimism." How often do the thoughts & feelings of the team members influence our ability to be successful student behavior managers? #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Ch 6, p 75-76. #GOLD. Steps to improve relationships: Build a relationship map; share fondness & admiration; turn toward*; the positive perspective; manage conflict; help aspirations come true; create shared meaning*. #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz

[Aaron Weaver @AaronMWeaver]

Ch 6, p 73. "There is much less resistance from school teams when they know you care enough to follow up & have proven your skills by actually 'walking the walk' over simply 'talking the talk'." So important to have complete investment from the whole team. #HSD_HappyKids @DrTRazz
