@APSPrice during Red Ribbon week, we fight to be drug free. It ain’t easy to look good in camouflage, but our staff sure does!!

#onecarver reflection #3: if we want to teach this generation we have to talk less and show them more. I loved watching the Carver HS drum line imitate the old school drummers. They were amazed.

#onecarver reflection #2: our community wants to get together and be together. We have to create the space. If we build it, they will come. We just have to make it fun!

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

#onecarver reflection #1: leadership matters. If you have people willing to defer credit and remove ego, then you can do amazing things. Shout out to @TommyUsherAPS and @NikkitaDW for scripting the path and seeing it through!

I am still so buoyed by the amazing #onecarver event we had this past weekend. It was amazing. I am reflecting still now on how enjoyable it was and have some reflections…

Proud of the bounty I collected at the @APSPrice farm and @USDA partnership. With all this organic honey and ginger we literally pulled out the ground in our school garden I am almost ready to get a cold! We got turmeric and hibiscus if you need it!

I am honored to work alongside amazing educators like @MsWilsonPrice and @moldingmindz who are doing so much to promote our family engagement and farming efforts. They will stop at nothing to support our @APSPrice students and families.

When learning about agriculture and nature @APSPrice all the adults turn into big inquisitive curious kids! I forgot how much we enjoy petting animals, eating fresh honeycomb and enjoying the sunshine too @NikkitaDW @moldingmindz

I am filled with excitement after an amazing day of partnership between our amazing farm team, @USDA_NRCS_GA and many others who came out to bring livestock and knowledge to our students @APSPrice. Our students enjoyed it so!

Letting everyone know that we are #onecarver with our #STEAM night demo for the community. Loving the robotics skills from our wonderful teacher @PBSARobotics! @APSPrice

@mikai_grant @GSUEdLead R6: I agree. No one intends to get trapped! #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@GSUEdLead A6: I took away that we can all fall into a trap. Different traps catch different educators. We have to reflect on what would trap us, and work hard to avoid it. #GSUEdLead

@MsHarrisonJ @GSUEdLead R5: I love your choice of words like "understanding complexity" and "listening and reflection." These are words that trick you into thinking they are passive, when they are actually very hard and necessary work. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@GSUEdLead A5: The converse of the tropes is commitment from top to bottom that is not optional. It is cultural and part of an identity. Someone has to lead and make that commitment mandatory. Until then, we need to mandate it in the mirror. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@AlexandriaLBell @GSUEdLead R4: I agree with you Ms. Bell. These shortcuts are like slim fast shakes. They may make you feel better for a day or so, but long term results will not happen. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@GSUEdLead A4: Self-awareness is always the beginning point. We must go within to see how we fall victim to these tropes, then show courageous and vulnerable leadership by sharing it with others. This gives them permission to reflect. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@twilson271761 @GSUEdLead R3: The equity warrior is so deep because you first thing you are being affirmed for commitment, when in reality you are being used as a means of checking their agenda box. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@GSUEdLead A3: "Doing equity" and "boomerang equity" are so real and familiar. It seems as if we will protect our desire to avoid change and do what we are accustomed to, even if we know if hurts children. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@twallmyers @GSUEdLead R2: I love how you connected our responsibility to stay the course and bring others along. You aren't leading if you aren't influencing others to be better as well. #GSUEdLead

[Luqman Abdur-Rahman @PricePrincipal]

@GSUEdLead A2: Equity as a commitment and not a destination implies that leaders must be willing to do the work in a purposeful way, despite the obstacles. This purpose supersedes the known and unforeseen sacrifices that this difficult work will require. #GSUEdLead
