Instructional change starts with the teacher.
They’re the ones in the room, doing the work, with the power to make learning happen.

@unfoldthesoul Working together for change.

[Ken Williams @unfoldthesoul]

The best way to unleash student greatness is to unleash your own.

When teachers grow, kids rise.
Lean into the collective expertise around you — the minds, the passion, the purpose — and get to work.

@unfoldthesoul Yes!!!!

[Ken Williams @unfoldthesoul]

If students learn because of me…
Then when they don’t learn, it’s also because of me.
There is no cold without hot. No light without dark.

Truth!!! Together WE win BIG and BEST!

[Ken Williams @unfoldthesoul]

There is no MVP in district work, only a united team chasing one goal.
Competing against each other weakens the mission.
Growing with each other changes everything.
#StrongerTogether #OneMission

So powerfully true!

[George Couros @gcouros]

"I used to get really worked up when I felt strongly about certain opinions or ideas, and people I worked with didn't necessarily agree. Instead of letting it bother me, I have learned to let go and a) embrace the idea that I am not always right and/or b) I don't have to convince anyone of anything and that I live with my own decisions."

Great strategy! Kudos to Starbucks!!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

We need to keep telling this story:

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!

Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know.

She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there.💚

Thank you to Starbucks for having a great team.”
