@Veganmathbeagle You know the answer. The “Non-profit” organization of the Collegeboard has somehow allowed Texas Instruments to continue to make massive profits off of a product that has not been truly updated in 30 years. But that’s because we all still value the knowledge based on a score 1-5

@RAD_is_awesome No one question the grade point average (GPA) which says an F is 0, D is 1, C is 2, B is 3, and A is 4. All grades weighted equally. People lose their mind when it becomes out of 100%. Either scale is arbitrary but GPA makes more sense and is how college students are measured. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@swetbabycheeses @NewDay Not saying it is right or wrong. I actually do not agree with the relaxing of restaurant restrictions and the like. But I do think we will get more shots in more arms faster the way he is planning to do this. Everyone vaccinated by the end of May is incredible in my opinion.

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@swetbabycheeses @NewDay When he talked about BIPOC I thought he referenced accessibility which is why he brought up a mobile vaccine clinic that would be brought into communities that would have trouble getting off work and traveling to get the shot. In that case more accessibility is his solution.

@swetbabycheeses @NewDay The article you reference does not show any stats about deaths due to covid in CT. 96% of covid deaths in CT have been 55 years and older with an exponential decrease of instances according to age. I don’t know what could better protect all of CT than an age based system

@rla323 @NewDay @GovNedLamont When did he say he was getting rid of mask mandates?

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@maof3plus2 @GovNedLamont If Texas had heeded warnings a decade ago about the need to weatherize all of their energy production, they would be fine. I don’t think this wind energy in CT will replace what we already have, just supplement until replacement is a proven method.

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@GovNedLamont I applaud you looking at the actual data of people who have been affected by the disease. Overwhelmingly(96%) people 55 and older are the ones who have lost their lives in CT. I understand the emotions that people have toward this subject and appreciate the data driven decision.

Is it just me or is this Millie Bobby Brown featured in this children’s book? #beforetheywerefamous

@jakankc Sadly, I don’t see it. I know that it is happening but the process is not shared with teachers. This lack of transparency, in my opinion, is work against improving teaching and learning in the school system. #EDLR5403

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@chk1979 By embedding that mission into the daily routine and tying it to the core culture of the school community. The mission statement should be simple and something that stakeholders believe in. #EDLR5403

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@jennikash95 Allowing all teachers the opportunity to lead and in some cases pushing them to. Trusting teachers to manage their own classrooms while giving them the support to grow in areas they feel they need improvement #EDLR5403

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

Thank you everyone for an awesome chat!! This will be here for you to look through at any time with a simple search. Meet you back on Zoom to finish up the class. #5403chat

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@MsMitchellBio I totally agree. I think that you need to plan for the long lasting impacts in changing the culture not the short term fixes to bring up some test scores. #5403chat

Q6: As a leader, how can you cultivate an atmosphere of trust necessary for effective PLCs? What has been your experience with this in teams you’ve worked with? #5403Chat

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

The next question will come from the Implementing Effective Professional Learning Communities article #5403Chat

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

MASTER SCHEDULE!! #5403chat

[Alexa Mitchell @MsMitchellBio]

Q5: Providing teachers with a daily designated collaboration period to work with other teachers to strategize. #5403Chat

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

@nick_e_flynn It’s exhilarating!!

[John Dickman @AidynsX]

Q5: Many teachers report a lack of time to implement research-based interventions. What leadership moves have you seen or might you use to overcome this challenge? #5403Chat
