@DustiBowling @TXLA I loved reading your new book. Familiar characters mixed with intriguing new characters in a relatable story. Just enough suspense to entice a one-siting reading.

[Trish Doran @TrishDoran2]

@DustiBowling Middle school teacher here: it’s not choosing only by the cover anymore. They choose by the width of the spine on a shelf to even heft it and look the book over. (Sad sigh)

@meganefreeman Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman is a story and videos all in one to solve mysteries. My students loved them.

@Jarrett_Lerner I like #4 because the background functions on multiple levels: science and mind map for her. Just a small visual of how much is going on in her mind.

I just overheard someone say “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris because she is a woman, I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I AM a woman”

This needs to be said more.

[Trish Doran @TrishDoran2]

Several of these are simple, but the roadblocks to implement are real. How does leadership make these reality?!

This! Focus on engaged sharing of thoughts and ideas. Celebrate trying over and over. Data isn’t everything. Perfect isn’t required. Love unlearning

[andrea @teachbk]

several students tried to turn in incomplete essays because they didn’t know how to spell the words for what they wanted to say

they. had. ideas. and they decided not to share them. for fear of being wrong.

i have to much unlearning to teach

[Trish Doran @TrishDoran2]

I made this drawing a couple years ago and look at it often because, as many times as I’ve learned this lesson, I often need the reminder. Posting it in case you maybe need the reminder, too. 💛
