Q6: Participate in PLC’s to model the behavior of a lead learner. Do not judge. Be part of the conversation. This will build trust. #EDLR5403

PLC is a growth opportunity for everyone. Give constructive feedback. Respect the time. #5403chat

Interesting perspective as we embark into school year 20-21. Reflective on the process and practices. Be courageous, be fierce, yet kind and vulnerable. Leadwithcourage.

Always straddling the tension and trying not to tap out.

Forever convincing ourselves that we can hold so many contradictory pieces and feelings.

Not only are tension and contradictory pieces OK and normal — they're the magic sauce.

[Kashema Jennings @jennikash95]

Something to think about as we approach this new school year. Let me know your thoughts, worklifebalance #5402chat #Edlr5402

[Kashema Jennings @jennikash95]

An important reminder. Thanks @MissMarisaVolo @FredEnde #edlr5402

[Marisa Volo @MissMarisaVolo]

This thread has me thinking about @FredEnde's text and our #5402chat! Balancing the power in the room and giving voice to participants of professional learning. We must be reflective facilitators, even and especially during our facilitation! #edlr5402

[Kashema Jennings @jennikash95]

Flipgrid definitely!

[Chanel “The STEMinist” Johnson @DC_STEMtastic]

@teach_fejzic Awesome!! Share any good takeaways, as I think we are all learning together. #EDLR5402

[Kashema Jennings @jennikash95]

Interesting stats. Work pursuing. #EDLR5402

[Caterina Campelli @CaterinaCampel2]

Encouraging teachers to have data chats with their students this year on their academic progress. Did you know on average the practice of having students track their own progress was associated with a 32-percentile point gain on their achievement?#EDLR5402 #datachats #datatalks

[Kashema Jennings @jennikash95]

@KimberlyTroy7 @ucapp I like this idea. Following and would be interested in joining one. #EDLR5402
