[Dr. John Spencer @spencerideas]

Graphic novels *are* novels. They aren’t “less than” or “easier.” If a kid has fallen in love with a graphic novel series then they’ve fallen in love with reading.

Drawing is a truly powerful learning tool, involving visual, kinesthetic, and linguistic areas of the brain all at the same time. 🧠

📍Students' grades should represent their current location, not an average over time. Where they were isn't important—only where they are right now. #LeadInclusion #sblchat

Today I discuss the importance of having a scientific basis, rather than social theories, to discuss the roles of sex in gender and brain function. “Gender indifference” is a term to describe the trend of ignoring brain differences between the sexes.

A1: Best way to share your passion for reading is by modeling it. Let them SEE you as a reader, actively share about the books you read, have your books visible everywhere, post your reading, talk about what you are excited to read next, etc #LeadLAP

“When a great teacher is in a bad mood, only one person knows. When a bad teacher is in a bad mood, the entire school knows.” @ToddWhitaker Think about that one for awhile! How do you greet S’s when you are in a bad mood? #Bexceptional
