🎒 If a student is having trouble with an assignment, the goal isn't to get through the assignment. The goal is to improve the skill that is giving them difficulty with the assignment. 🎒 #LeadInclusion #spedchat #allmeansall #successforall #inclusion #edchat

Trusting the Competence of Others https://t.co/af8qAJis1a A simple post but important for leadership. Reminds me of this quote from Steve Jobs - "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to to , We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”

"When we test all students at set times it's like picking tomatoes off a tree at the same time and telling the green ones they are bad at being tomatoes." Do our assmts help student learning or just satisfy systemic paperwork? @mrmatera @rickwormeli2 #HiveSummit #assessment

Thankful for this reminder from @MichaelBonner_ #Empower18

Most people later regret the risks they didn’t take. Going for it is better than playing it safe. You can’t learn from experiences you didn’t have. Even if you try and fail, you’ll be happier, more experienced, and more fulfilled than if you stayed on the sidelines.

Thought for the day: When addressing student bullying issues in our school environments it is important to reflect on this question, “Have we addressed the adults who are exhibiting the same behaviors?” ...via #Culturize
