What an absolute gift to learn with and from this amazingly dedicated team of Instructional Coaches.

[Matt @matthilderbrand]

Our PLCS Instructional coaches are extremely competitive! Team points for matching their understanding of norms with descriptions! Race walking at its finest 🤣

Always grateful for our amazing custodians, but especially on performance days! Thank you, Mr. Kenny, Ms. Cindy, and Mr. Kevin! @PLCSchools

In cultures of politeness, dissent is a threat to social harmony. People nod and smile even if they disagree, and silence fuels groupthink.

In cultures of integrity, dissent is a sign of commitment to quality. People voice their views, and respectful debate improves decisions.

Sometimes we don’t do things for Ratings. This year Bellevue West and Fremont asked Millard South to join them in a group project. Each school
picked 8 seniors to sing O Love as a group at District Music Contest. It was a great way to share our love of music.

Reading fiction has small but meaningful benefits for empathy.

70 experiments: concern for and understanding of others grow more through reading novels than watching shows and movies.

Immersion in words about imaginary worlds can help us see realities beyond our own.

I’ve been so impressed by our @TrumbleParkElem students’ commitments to show care in their communities this week! Who are you committing to show care to? What action will you take?

[Kate Konrad @KateKonrad]

When conference night starts with a surprise @juicestopomaha delivery from a student’s parent, you know it’s going to be a great night! Thanks, @jenschomer !

[Kate Konrad @KateKonrad]

When a joy-bringer of a 3rd grader declares “Stitch twin day” you suit up! @TrumbleParkElem @CallieNamminga @UBburn
