@tedfujimoto I was hoping for this. Wish others viewed “high-performing schools” this way. Not the norm, unfortunately. Thank you.

[NNSTOY @NNSTOY]

Over the past 3 years @holmsplice traveled to 48 states to discuss with teens & YAs the origins of apathy and the purpose of HS. Now...he's sharing it with you at the #NNSTOY21 Summit!

And the teacher becomes the student... If you’re interested in the science of happiness, you’ll want to know Dr. Emily Willroth. She is a former student of mine, turned teacher of mine, and this is her first recurring blog for Psychology Today.

@MrTomRad “Also, I wish students had a powerful union too.” This.

“Biggest takeaway” they asked for! Feeling a bit overwhelmed (in the best way) with all of the ideas, expertise & takeaways provided in today’s #ESSummit https://t.co/xSgW4GMk09

Over 94% of Missouri schools currently offer onsite instruction; therefore, MO Teachers of the Year sent this letter requesting vaccination prioritization for all educators & staff.

We ask for your support as we continue to serve Missouri’s greatest treasures: our children!

"The question is not 'Can resilience be learned?' Of course, it can... but let's be clear: learning resilience and teaching resilience are far from synonymous." https://t.co/GWY8Rkz0ez #resilience #adolescence #self @_culturefeed @MoSTOYchapter @NNSTOY
