I am energized for the new school year after hearing from these four educators during our district professional learning. They spoke eloquently about concrete strategies to support #rigor and #opportunity in all secondary social studies courses. #allmeansall

We had nearly 350 9th grade students gathered at @NEWesleyan today for the first ever district-wide APHUG exam prep session. The passion, dedication, and expertise of @LPSorg social studies educators continues to astound me. Thanks to everyone who made this happen! #PROMISES

Jason Krueger believes that each and every student is capable of thinking at high levels. He builds relationships through high expectations and a truly rigorous classroom. For these reasons, and more, Mr. Krueger earned this prestigious award from @Gilder_Lehrman. #lpsproud

@BHSproductions @LPS_Curriculum As always, it’s a joy to engage in dialogue with this group of scholars. Thanks, Pete!

One of my favorite weeks of the year! We welcomed 20 new secondary social studies teachers and 7 new Humanities teachers during #neweducatorweek. Students are lucky to get to meet them in a couple weeks! We couldn’t do it without our mentor teachers! #lpsproud

[Jaci Kellison @jaci_kellison]

Congratulations to @LPSorg Park Middle School teacher, Jason Krueger. This is a big deal!

Last year I released "Social Responsibilities", a podcast discussing inquiry using a @Gilder_Lehrman lesson. Now I find out that one of the featured educators just won the 2023 State History Teacher of the Year for Nebraska! @jaci_kellison, how cool is that?! Congrats, Jason!

[Jaci Kellison @jaci_kellison]

@IOnlySpkEbonycs @YoMrBogus @Gilder_Lehrman Yessss! I wish you could’ve presented the award to him too. He’s so deserving of this honor. #lpsproud

Civics and Government teachers working on guided inquiry lessons and having productive conversations about how to teach, practice, and assess media literacy skills. #lateralreading #informedcitozenship Thanks for hosting @NEWesleyan!

@BayneHistory Are you going to NYC, too?

[Jaci Kellison @jaci_kellison]

I am grateful for this group of dedicated educators! High school social studies department chairs discuss the role of direct instruction in inquiry learning. As a bonus, we got to experience our district’s newest high school! #rethinkingdirectinstruction #guidedinquiry #leaders

[Jaci Kellison @jaci_kellison]

Thanks to @jonnebraska and Barb Miller for talking with middle school social studies leaders about AVID and Honors Cadre. I’m always energized by the level of conversation brought forth by this group. #avid #honorscadre #inquiry #elevatescholars #positionstudentsascapable

[Jaci Kellison @jaci_kellison]

It was standing room only for Mpike’s engagement with scholars from @ParkMS_Panthers. He presented to 3+ 7th Grade World History classes and folks from other classes were clamoring to get a seat! #zim #africanhistory #fulbrightscholar
