Leaders need to model their mistakes!

By celebrating the role mistakes have in learning, teachers help students develop growth-mindset and perseverance. ✨

“Conversations about equity do not have to be complicated—they can start with simple metaphors.” Sunflowers, lettuce and tomatoes can launch discussions about equity. 🌻🥬🍅

@meenaharris At Dr King’s memorial in WDC I was told his statue was deliberately left with part of his legs missing because the Civil Rights Movement isn’t finished. My first question was “will the day ever come when his statue can & will be completed?” I hope so.

This is such a great reflection on continuing to build community, even in the virtual classroom setting! Way to go Brian, Mr. Wall, and @PkwyMasonRidge!

Green Trails Elementary is ready for spring!🌱 This morning, students, parents, and staff prepared new beds for planting. Did you know that Green Trails grows so much produce that they often send surplus to the Central High kitchen for use in lunches throughout the district?🍅🥬

#BestOf2018 Our most-watched video of 2018, this animated short highlights the research behind recess. Judging by the overwhelming response—almost 3 million views, 24,000 comments, and 64,000 shares across social media—our audience agrees!

Let the children play!

While lucky to be in one of the area's most forward-thinking districts re: social justice, I am challenged by the need to be neutral politically. Systemic racism is a part of our govt's history. Dem's and GOP's both have to do be uncomfortable to do this work. #ClearTheAir

Character education is about nurturing the positive development of our future citizens, not managing the behavior of kids right now.
