We can no longer afford to have chronically negative adults in front of kids. Kids sponge up negativity.

Saw this and loved it at Cardinal CSD. Needs to take these on the road and have a few for my own house! All about promoting #culture!

Panelist from @bigpiclearning dropping truth: How can we shift our assessments from students showing how smart they are to how they are smart. Damn.

Most people know that I LOVE researching & visiting juke joints. Especially hosting friends/fam @ my Pineapple Lounge. Thanks to @etrilk for always bringing me back & enlightening students that music's story starts way before the finished product they listen to in their ear buds

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. Ironically, in the 1970's, they modeled their education based on US schools and US university research.

Honest question. If the scholarship bill passes the House tonight. A hunch that nonpublic schools might be asked to serve more students with special needs in the days ahead. Will AEAs such as @CentralRivers be expected to support, and still get cut by millions? #rollblue

5th grade students in Mr. Kenny’s computer science classes reviewed internet safety by using Quizlet Live and also playing a trivia game. The teams could earn extra points if they were able to make a hole in one. #vmsinspire

[Trent Grundmeyer @tgrundmeyer]

Good point about voucher bill. Another point is that not all private schools are wanting and ready for serving more kids. Classroom spaces? Programs? Special Ed? Gifted? I believe education in our state would be on top if public schools got the same support.

Lucky to have the best mentors. Highly intelligent, always supportive, aligned with my values, and still check in. <3 @crrmspride @JustinBlietz @mctownsley

3 simple things that are underrated:

1. Listening
2. Calling someone by name
3. Handwritten notes

We're interested, in nonviolent communication, with the kind of honesty that supports people connecting with each other in a way that makes compassionate giving inevitable, that makes it enjoyable for people to contribute to each other's well being.

I love the question:

Is your school a better place because you’re in it?
