I am a course designer and an amateur writer. I am a unique part of God's creation (as is each individual in this world). Lover of books, music, and pets.

Compliance is not the end goal whether in communication (see Nonviolent Communication by Rosenberg) or education. #innovatorsmindset #VAinnovatorsmindsetchat

[Candice McPherson @candimcpherson]

Leading and innovating start with learning to listen to those I serve. Empathy leads to evolution. #VAinnovatorsmindset #VAInnovatorsMindsetChat

Networking is essential to innovation as is honoring the intellectual property rights of others. #innovatorsmindset #VAinnovatorsmindsetchat

Thoughts on Chapter 4: Being online, our platform and processes for developing courses helps us have an advantage for common, focused curriculum. #VALeadwithFocus

@BohlerJason Flowing Wells focused established clear expectations for instruction even before hiring, and they trained and retrained on the basics of essential lesson components. #VALeadwithFocus

[Candice McPherson @candimcpherson]

Curriculum guides must be decipherable. #VALeadwithFocus

[Candice McPherson @candimcpherson]

Every time I develop a presentation slide or write an email, I will go back and cut half the words to ensure clarity. Counterintuitive? Nope. I am forced to focus on what’s important. Be a hedgehog. #VALeadwithFocus

Storms are headed this way today. If you are in the area, be alert and take the proper precautions.

Seriously have to work on my tweeting . . .

[Candice McPherson @candimcpherson]

I'm hesitant to tweet my ideas. What if they are stolen? Then again what ideas belong to us anyway? Aren't most the offspring of others?

If it wasn't for the Michael Buble station on Pandora my house might not ever get clean . . .stop slipping away weekend!

I'm having a growth spurt--intellectually and spiritually that is. (I'm still 5' 2" with my shoes on.)
