Cool bit in @aledlab newsletter that Tuscaloosa AL is considering a dress code change and taking parent an student feedback, using this @thoughtxchng platform seems better than your average survey monkey or MSFT form...

Why do schools have difficulty staffing their classrooms with qualified teachers?

Dr. Richard M. Ingersoll, Professor of Education and Sociology at the University of @Penn, shares his thoughts.

@morganjingram Funny you say that cause our company took jb sales training at the end of last year and I’m pretty sure John said that “hope all is well” has a higher response rate. As much he didn’t like it…

Parent survey feedback. Top thought everyone agrees with, regardless of which side of the mask you are on: “Once masks are optional, please be respectful to the students and staff that may continue to wear their masks because of underlying health conditions. Civility… be nice.”

@Eric_Steckling Possible @thoughtxchng question to include all staff: what are some small wins you had this year that we can build on into 2022? :)

[Colin @colinbender_te]

Stop looking at children with deficit thinking (what's wrong with you?) Instead, look at them with asset thinking. (What's right with you? what matters to you? who do you want to be?)

My biggest takeaway from a session I had the privilege to be part of last week. #streetdata

[Colin @colinbender_te]

Thank you @teresa_lance, @JamilaDugan, @ShaneSafir for the insightful session yesterday.

“There's nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.”

When I think of Veterans I think of this. Selflessly serving & sacrifice. Willing to pay the ultimate price for something bigger than themselves. Thank You Veterans! 🙏

Our students’ mental health is way more important than their grades.

It’s no secret staff shortages is one of the biggest challenges education leaders face today. Join us this Tuesday for a conversation on how our partners are using ThoughtExchange to help navigate pandemic staff shortages. https://t.co/KjcEGv5tp4

[ThoughtExchange @thoughtxchng]

40% of district leaders describe their current staff shortages as severe/very severe.

So how can #education leaders ensure that all students receive equitable education despite staffing shortages?

Join us on November 16th as we address this & much more: https://t.co/P0lolhVG0H

[Brooke Hagstrom @BrookeVH28]

Thank you to @thoughtxchng for helping us engage with our stakeholders in meaningful ways. We value this feedback at @Woodland50News and #LifeintheW @LoriCasey5 #schoolpr

[Colin @colinbender_te]

@teresa_lance Great @thoughtxchng question! Many of our partners are leaning into “What is working and what areas do need more support?”

[Colin @colinbender_te]

@PorterSup205 @DrJohnGreenan @KGreenLths Now that looks like a good time!
