First in-office day at my new district, ISD 287! Decorating is a work in progress but I prioritized keeping all of you close to my heart and mind. #wordsofaffirmation #thankyous

[Kat Field @KatRestores]

Can’t think of a better way to close the book on my chapter at Fargo Public Schools than presenting on secondary traumatic stress (compassion fatigue) with my professional twin flame @SydJAzure at the NDU Education Support Professional Conference in Bizzo! @NDUnited

Morning from Davies Site Visit! We have admin and teachers across the state joining us to learn more about Evidence-Based Grading! EBR looks at a body of knowledge based on both skills and content. Proud of these leaders striving for innovation and growth 🌟🌟 #FPSproud

[Kat Field @KatRestores]

Superstars!!! Every single one! #FPSProud

[Erin Sinner @ErinSinner]

Davies hosted their second SBI/EBR Site Visit today. When I say I work with the best, I truly mean it. The individual strengths of our teachers created a synergistic force that was energetic to be a part. #FPSProud @FargoNDSchools @alliekollman

Trauma-informed care shouldn’t focus only on students. These school practices help make sure teachers’ needs are also addressed. https://t.co/9ybzM0lijk

Black history and voice year-round please!!! #seeyourself #YourStoryMatters

[edutopia @edutopia]

From @borywrites: Many Black educators agree that too often today’s best-selling novels offer a limited, even cramped, perspective.

Here are some alternatives to consider, recommended by English and literacy teacher @heymrsbond, librarian @Boss_Librarian, and others:

"True educational success lies not just in 'mastering' content, but in cultivating the enduring skills that transcend disciplines, inspiring students to become versatile thinkers and lifelong learners." @alliekollman @ErinSinner Beast mode.

I encourage school leaders to participate in this study. Please send around to folks you think would be a good fit.

[Kat Field @KatRestores]

Facts on facts. #studentvoice

[Kat Field @KatRestores]

Intentional discussion about the purpose behind words that form agreements/rules is a great proactive way to ensure students understand and hold themselves to high expectations as well! #restorative

[edutopia @edutopia]

Let’s come to an understanding. 🫱🫲 These 4 simple class agreements from @annebeaton11 build trust between teachers and learners: https://t.co/nMxfQCAYkB

Being autistic, combined with my people-pleasing tendencies - this has been a consistent lesson throughout my leadership journey. People don't want to be saved - they just want space to process. #autistic #leadershipmatters

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

When someone is in a crisis, my autistic brain naturally tries to go into problem-solving mode. However, I’ve learnt that sometimes people don’t want solutions - they want to vent or want someone to comfort them. So, now I try to tailor my support to each person and situation.
