Project Me: Why teach? Why Ithaca? Why now?

New @IthacaNYSchools educators explore identity and create powerful digital artifacts to introduce themselves to students and families. I can’t wait for our community to meet these new #teamICSD rockstars!

@IthacaNYSchools nurses play a critical role in our schools helping to keep students safe, healthy, and happy! Thank you @schoolnurses for all you do!

@BelleShermanES @IthacaNYSchools staff digging into enrollment, classification, attendance, and suspension data...lots of great thinking about how different groups of students are experiencing their school and implications for practice. #ICSDEquity

Love seeing caregivers, community members and ICSD educators digging into the ICSD Equity Report Card to think about how students are experiencing @IthacaNYSchools, what we need to learn more about, and how we can continue to move closer to our equity goal #EEE

Great day of thinking with @IthacaNYSchools 5th grade teachers — collaborating with colleagues and looking at student work to build a professional culture of critique, revision, and celebration! TY @jwilikie_jen for being my partner in his work! #EEE #TeamICSD

Spent the day @Harvard with an impressive cohort of researchers and practitioners focused on using data in innovative & strategic ways in education industry. Grappling with how to measure quantitatively and qualitatively our Culture of Love @VDW_lynn #CultureofLove

Master teacher @RandiBeckmann generously sharing her case study work with @IthacaNYSchools colleagues, highly recommending the process of writing one because completing the template, "helps you reflect on what kind of teacher you are and who you want to be."

[Lynn VanDeWeert @VDW_lynn]

Celebrating just a few of the many amazing @IthacaNYSchools educators who are creating a loving culture for students to learn in everyday. Such a fantastic way to kick off the 2018-19 school year! #EEE #TeamICSD

I don’t understand why giving kids the opportunity to try, get feedback, and try again during football practice is considered good coaching, but giving kids a chance to try, get feedback, and retest in an academic course is enabling? #AmImissingsomething?

[Lynn VanDeWeert @VDW_lynn]

@luvelleb @IthacaNYSchools Thanks! And a huge shout out to @jwilikie_jen,@ICSD_Spencer,@ICSDEdTech, @chapinbear for leading this work with me!

Thanks @gcouros and @IthacaNYSchools colleagues for a great day of thinking and learning! Schools should be joyous places for kids and adults. How are we serving as a pathway to this? An obstacle? #Cheney2018r #EEE

How do we need to shift rather than making our students shift for us? Powerful conversation about leadership, equity, inclusivity, and diversity in P-20 education with @OnondagaCC President @CaseyCrabill, @IthacaCollege President Shirley Collado, and Commissioner Elia @NYSEDNews

[Lynn VanDeWeert @VDW_lynn]

Great time partnering with @luvelleb to share @IthacaNYSchools data portfolio with NYS District Superintendents today...shifting the focus of data conversations to learning, not judging. Thanks for the opportunity @jeffmat21!
