@trussleadership Our district already has the honor of working with you. :-)

[Nadya Bech-Conger @Nbcbtv]

As district leaders, what are our best tools for establishing clarity & consistency in teaching & learning, while also avoiding what Tema Okun describes as "only one right way"? Wrestling with this. @trussleadership @newfrontier21 @mikemattos65

I'm a "systems" person deeply committed to #PLCs in establishing a guaranteed curriculum. But I'm wrestling with this: How do we establish consistent, best-practice teaching & learning across a district while also disrupting #WSC? @trussleadership @mikemattos65 @newfrontier21

@teacher2teacher Have a good weekend, look out for each other, make good choices, and get yourself home before midnight!

Hah! Finally got around to the 10/5 issue of https://t.co/cA6HeXWXfj, and saw "10 Buzzwords Educators Never Want to Hear Again. Literally yesterday, I had a 15 min convo w/an instructional coach about "unpacking" standards. #oof #unpack #bsdlearns @kcallahan__

@plugusin Miss you and welcome any suggestions you have. I'm trying to do the work!

Wanted: research on best practice for Tier 2 literacy intervention grades 7-10. I see lots of opinions & programs; I want research on the components of best practices. Recommendations, or who to talk to, welcome. #adolescentliteracy @GholdyM @The_DLDozen @mikemattos65

With the help of @trussleadership, we're looking at our practices through an anti-racist lens. Check out my latest blog post https://t.co/n2jkOIVO5A, revisiting & reconsidering my past pedagogical recommendations. #bsdvt #bsdlearns

A few more photos from our opening inservice around anti-racist teaching practices! Thanks again @trussleadership #together #vted

#BSDVT students close our session today with this: “A lot of staff have responded to our experiences of white supremacy culture by expressing emotion—sadness, frustration, anger. We want to know what are you going to DO about it.” #BSDlearns #dismantlewsc

#bsdlearns Centering anti-racist instruction: Where does white supremacy culture show up in schools? @trussleadership #dismantlingwsc

(And…I’m waking up from a long, pandemic-related Twitter hibernation. Nice to see ya’ll again.)

[Nadya Bech-Conger @Nbcbtv]

Today we launch a year-long professional learning journey for 6-12 staff with Truss Leadership #dismantlingwsc #bsdlearns

[Nadya Bech-Conger @Nbcbtv]

Happy New Year! Thrilled to be live, in-person, and together for professional learning in BSD. Our district is launching a year-long focus on anti-racist instructional practices. #bsdlearns #dismantlewsc

@newfrontier21 @mikemattos65 I remember you saying this in a workshop I had the pleasure to participate in. Wrote it in my notebook, even. Thanks for the reminder, and for your ongoing support.

[Nadya Bech-Conger @Nbcbtv]

#PLC folks: some teachers in my urban district are thoughtfully questioning the need for a #guaranteedcurriculum & asking for the research that shows it benefits kids. I know it's out there. Help me out? @mikemattos65 @newfrontier21
