@thehill Could there be a more childish and cowardly way to enter a competition? "If we win, all is good. Is we lose it was rigged."

@Hernbergler @NCHS_CT Subjective reality! Such an amazing and practical topic for kids to explore!

In their keynote, @choose_org founders Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi describe how they questioned why racial equity wasn’t included as a 21st-century skill. They identify a heart gap—lack of understanding, compassion—and the mind gap, how racism operates structurally. #RaceinEd2019

#raceined2019 So grateful to be at the Dismantling Systemic Racism Conference in Hartford today! Look forward to some awesome learning.

@Ready4rigor Used your book to kick off laying the foundation for Culturally Responsive Teaching in my school a few weeks back. Feedback was so positive! Principal is giving me a half hour break out sessions to discuss implicit bias, next week. So short... Where to start? TY!

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

Powerful! Mindfulness + intention throughout the day. #EDLR5308

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED. The only question...IS HOW? Be intentional with every interaction...they all matter. #leadershipchallenge #leadfromwhereyouare #hackingleadership #1minwalk2work

.Planning staff PD & want to be able to show how a culturally responsive teacher might design the learning space. Please share pics/ideas! TY! #edequity #culturallyresponsive #classroomdesign #edchat #satchat #ngss #SXSW2019 #istechat #EDLR5308 @SchoolEquityPro @equityprojectiu

Very cool. How powerful for a student to hear a teacher cheering them on in their own language! Culturally Responsive teaching. #EDLR5308

[Nickie Wong @MissNWong]

I'm collecting ideas from Ss on how I can cheer them on in their own languages. I need to learn how to write them now. #Multilingualism #Translanguaging @edutopia

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

Best personal takeaway from leading PD following #EDLR5308 is to be humble and keep an open mind, listening to the dialogue that comes up and letting feedback chart the course forward. Letting go of control and agenda is key.

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

I love this quote. Best way to lead... Not wait for others to direct the way. Be aware, insightful and inquisitive. Let the path materialize. #EDLR5308

Included in another of my talks last week, a very powerful quote from Lincoln about Leadership:

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

Joy is such an essential element in the world of education that we often forget about. Joy is the fuel for dynamic learning experiences. #EDLR5308

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

@Hernbergler @BernsteinCT @UConnNeag @SchoolEquityPro @equityprojectiu Thank you @Hernbergler !!

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

For a PD I'm leading need to find authentic visual evidence of classrooms setup through a lens of cultural responsiveness. @Hernbergler @BernsteinCT or others, any tips on getting this request out to a larger Twitter audience? #EDLR5308

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

@BernsteinCT @Hernbergler Thank you!

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

Wow! Here's to seeking out great coaches for ourselves and being great coaches for others... #EDLR5308

[Ryan Cronin @CroninRyanT]

@Hernbergler @BernsteinCT "fail forward"! Bumper sticker?
