Our teachers lead by example. They come into the classroom every day with open hearts and minds, encouraging their students to do the same. They are mentoring the next generation of great leaders!#TeacherAppreciationWeek #BeDistinctive

Our @Distinctive_Edu schools will be OPEN all week regardless of a possible CPS Strike. We can't thank our teachers & staff enough for all they do for our students. This dispute does NOT affect Distinctive Schools and will not alter our schedules or services for our kids. #ALLIN

Hear from our Co-Founder @common​ about what's happening at Art in Motion, what it means to him as a South Shore native, and what it'll bring to the students! Watch here: https://t.co/13DHskJtUg

[Jin-Soo Huh @JinSooDHuh]

I was disappointed in the @nytimes piece on Summit Learning. Our partnership w @SummitSpark has increased student ownership of learning, deepened content knowledge & developed skills like collaboration. Teachers role grew more important. Agree w response. https://t.co/qifGdkCBNq

[Jennifer Ferrari @jlferrari128]

So proud of our @Distinctive_Edu literacy leaders @Crnolan @msg107 offering their new @NWEA MAP Reading Fluency expertise in #CrosstownCollaboration with @ChiPubSchools @DPS109 #WeAreDistinctive

Lift up! An aligned curriculum is the starting point...It’s purposely designed to facilitate learning. @lacrob #StandardsInstitute

“Maybe it’s not about if love is enough, but about figuring out how love looks and feels as a teacher.” @lacrob #StandardsInstitute

[Katie O'Connor @katieaoconnor]

Here’s the problem: students spend 81% of their time on below grade-level content and tasks. #StandardsInstitute

[UnboundEd @unboundedu]

“We’re settling for the glamour of participation.” @KateGerson #StandardsInstitute

[Katie O'Connor @katieaoconnor]

YES! When we are talking about equitable instruction, we are ALWAYS talking about grade level instruction. #StandardsInstitute
