This morning I got the chance to visit the classrooms of Mrs. Ashley Jarrell and Ms. Mariah Newsome at Stagg Elementary -- thanks to you both for giving me the opportunity to observe the personalized learning strategies you use to help @ChiPubSchools students! #TheBestAreWithCPS
Principal Diaz and the entire Ashburn team are innovative, inspiring, and dedicated educators. It is a privilege to serve them as they create personalized learning experiences for their students. @jd1boss@ashburnschool@CPS_PL#CPS_PL

Our super smart #personalizedlearning teacher Ms. Jump at Otis ES combined math facts with #LearnerProfiles for a fun activity with her Ss. Each flap is a number sentence that describes a fact about them. Our favorite: “15➗3+3 =8 people in my family.” #TailoredLearning#PLinCPS
At the @leapinchicago InnovatED Summit listening to Chicago’s rapping teacher Dwayne Reed share a message on the importance of building strong relationships with students...this year’s theme...”Make the Success of Every Child Personal.” @ChiPubSchools@CPS_PL
Blown away by Educators @CPS_PL who brainstormed 5,6,+7 star learning experience for parents, teachers, + students and then worked as a team to plan out an 11 star experience for their school. Chills! Planning Great Years! @ChiPubSchools @CPSTeachLearn
