@HowIBuiltThis There’s a lot of innovation and quality work coming from the cities along Lake Ontario (Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse). Lovely too.

@HowIBuiltThis In the past 2 decades, Wegmans has expanded throughout the Northeast and MidAtlantic. One of their secrets is that they support local farmers in whatever region in which they expand.

@YWSteamPrepNT @UTEP @neuropete01 @scottgray77 @ccontive @ELPASO_ISD @ISTELive2023 Conference favorite - UTEP/Guillen Middle school poster on student translanguaging makes the classroom and curriculum more culturally responsive/sustaining! Showcased benefit of assets-based approaches to connect to students’ funds of knowledge and communities.

How refreshing! A school district that wants to have an innovative culture. Loved how they used choice boards and meaningful reward options to build a district culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Another favorite @ISTELive @ISTE23 session by @ChristineMatash @TERRANCESHEPLER - https://t.co/c4grMJDeKo Loved the story of how the tech coaches at @Susquenita, PA used choice boards and other techniques to inspire teacher tech adoption.
