@GregSederberg @Maire_from_NJ @cultofpedagogy @HOWareyousmart @BiscottiNicole @Bill_Huber_ @raspberryberet3 @DrCaliGrit @casas_jimmy @flyingmonkey13 @DavidGeurin Unapologetic. Do what I know for kids (P-12 and Higher Ed). Do it without apology and with confidence! And when I don't know, ask without apologizing for not knowing!

It’s been the year for Adeline. A transition back that transformed her into more of herself. And I give much of that credit to the ladies in the pictures with her. Her teacher, Ms.… https://t.co/f6DXKH1X9o

Celebrating teachers tonight. Career educators like Dr. Paul Harman from @Nampa131schools who have poured their lives into students. And new teachers who are on the cusp of their careers. And hope rises up in me. #teach

He has recited their names EVERY SINGLE MORNING for 20 years. Read this powerful @Reuters article on former #Columbine principal, @FrankDiane72, & his book, #TheyCallMeMrDe, chronicling the heart, resilience, & recovery of a community. https://t.co/HlQTai9qpd #columbine20 #tlap

Tonight, a 'slow bolt of lightning' sparked by @SteveWyborney & his presentation to my seminar session of student teachers. https://t.co/vpBzsvHQgK Another iteration begins tonight!

The most effective classroom management strategy is strong relationships with students.

The most effective healthy #culture building strategy is strong relationships with adults.

Every day. Every encounter.

@MaureenSeidel @nordquist_brett @NNUDoceo I am so sad I’m missing it this year!

@goodn3rd Wish I was there!!

@JohnPSauter @ERMacbeth One of my favorite things this year has been a monthly lunch date with a professor across campus. Makes me leave my office AND helps me connect with other areas, which is good for me and my students! #acadv

A4, for my students - SLOW down. better conversations with them and better questions - so they take more responsibility #acadv

[Whitney Ward @_datagirl]

A4: go home at the end of the day, not be the last parent in the pickup line, being at ease with iteration, not perfection! #acadv

[Whitney Ward @_datagirl]

A3 placing student teachers for next year, revising courses, delving into @caepupdates accreditation requirements, learning, learning, learning! #acadv

@jackiecintel @HowardSJ @sara_ackerson I tend to advise away from many of our online options bc of engagement issues. I'd love ideas on how to better prep ss for online and how to make online more engaging for Ss. Would be great learning in multiple roles!

[Whitney Ward @_datagirl]

@ERMacbeth GREAT idea, thank you! Would be exciting to get my feed wet that way.

[Whitney Ward @_datagirl]

@HowardSJ @jackiecintel @sara_ackerson I'm a professor with advising responsibilities who would LOVE to hear more about these ideas. #acadv
