@seanbowles8 I get those every morning. It's a nice way to start the day and push my thinking about all kinds of issues relating to school culture. #DedhamPSEdTech
A3: At the district level we continue to focus on building a culture of support by providing the comprehensive training and resources that our teachers need. Shaping effective district culture supports building and classroom cultures that enhance learning. #DedhamPSEdTech
@seanbowles8 This is a great piece. Does every kid in the Dedham Public Schools have a champion? I think about that question all of the time. #DedhamPSEdTech
Hey Dedham, MA - want to know one of the reasons I'm inspired by the work going on in our public schools? It's innovative forums like this twitter chat between faculty and administrators sharing ideas and practices about creating positive school cultures Follow #DedhamPSEdTech
A2: Here's a great article discussing the impact of school culture on student learning. Validates many of the ideas you are sharing this evening. https://t.co/sRCPmkMRUX #DedhamPSEdTech
When we talk about shaping culture it's important to have a shared definition of the term. Good article from HGSE on the topic. https://t.co/faYCZQvQlB #DedhamPSEdTech
Our youngest learners in pre-school studying letter-sound relationships. Mastering fundamental literacy skills and concepts preparing them for future success in the Dedham Public Schools. Awesome work at @ecec_dedham ! #literacy#reading#dedhamps
Kindergarteners help Principal Taylor understand force and motion as they engage in project based investigation of fundamental concepts in physical science. Great teachers with the right tools and training make learning come alive! #dedhamps#pbl#profdev
