"A number of recent educational trends have underscored the need for professional learning that is grounded in what we know works." @EFoster11@LearningForward
Good morning from Day 2 #UmdSILA2023. We are pleased to have Dr. Anthony Bryk presenting on improvement science and leadership. His message to improvement leaders reminds us about the necessity of including all involved voices. Important message to reflect on & put into action
Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.
Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.
There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.
Our next webinar will focus on different, systemic examples of innovative equity-based programs that have positively impacted schools and systems while providing support for educators to embed and advance #equity. https://t.co/lznJsoU86w

Our equity standards show leaders what an #equity mindset really looks like, without the distractions of rhetoric, and steps for helping staff learn about why and how to respect and nurture every child’s needs. https://t.co/81A5gG41fw @WallaceFdn@PaulFlemingTN#Stand4PL

It’s important to note that the standards are intentionally connected to one another, so the work the network is doing to address the Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction standard also addresses other standards. https://t.co/BDIUThnvMU #Stand4PL
