Now that school's settling in, remember there are NO:
SPED kids
504 kids
EIP kids
RTI kids
Tier kids
Low kids
Those kids
This kid or
______ kids.

They are ALL kids who can learn high levels.
Treat them that way.

The second you slap a label on them, you treat them otherwise.

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

Gonna throw this one out there:
If we continue to solely remediate kids thru Tiers 2 & 3 without ever exposing them to grade-level Tier 1, you will continue to remediate these same kids for their entire school careers.

At some point we have to accelerate more than remediate.

Is your school website accessible to ALL families?

@FHI360 recommends these checklists, which help South Dakota Schools make their websites usable and accessible.

Democrats just saved Idaho Public Television from being defunded. (One Republican complaint was that children's shows such as Arthur and Dora the Explorer are "partisan.") I'm relieved that our families will continue to have access to quality, educational programs. #idleg

“Education is essentially an occupation trying to be a profession with no professional practice”. Teachers, like students and other professions, need collaboration and feedback for growth. #BSUedleaders

@Mistr_Johnston Loved this, thanks!

I’m struggling with communication. I tend to over-communicate or not enough. Strategies you’ve found for good communication as a systems leader? #BSUedleaders

[C.J. Watson @CJWatso19136120]

A student asked me what America needs to be a country with purpose. I said empathy. Systems leaders respond culturally to the needs of a nation with empathy. #BSUedleaders

Playing a sport is matter of technical expertise. But in organizational life, the “various players” compete by different rules and hold different visions of what is means to score a goal. Find the common ground and guide where that goal is. #BSUedleaders

Leadership

about

Essential questions are 'essential' in the sense of signaling genuine, important and necessarily-ongoing inquiries.

Built a new fence this weekend. Thought a lot about mastery learning while doing it, since I was in my own process with it. I asked questions, watched and listened, tried and failed at times, repeat. This was my mastery process and should be the education process. #BSUedleaders

[C.J. Watson @CJWatso19136120]

Good leaders ask questions, rather than supply answers. #BSUedleaders
