@IMSEOG Amazing, relevant, applicapable, research based information presented by engaging educators! Honestly, the presenter can sometimes make or break the PD.

For our youngest students, play is the brain's pathway to learning. At Redbud Elementary, first-graders had a blast playing in the construction zone all the while learning two-letter combinations, long vowel sounds, and word building! #EPSLeads #oklaed 🚧👷👷‍♀️🧱

Building knowledge only occurs when we are teaching science and social studies and diving deep into the topics!

@natwexler what article on cricket do you use as a reference for lack of knowledge in your presentation!? It really drives home the point.

US schools are about to get historic levels of federal $. If they want to address Covid learning loss AND longstanding inequities, their best bet is to spend it on knowledge-building elementary curriculum. @NDE_TLA @ClassroomWonder My latest for Forbes:

Thank you @Amplify for this inspiring and informative Podcast! I’m excited to keep learning. @natwexler is coming to Oklahoma next month. I can’t wait!

I am moving to a new school and preparing for my 10th year of teaching. 🥳 If anyone would like to help, I (and many future 1st graders) would love and appreciate any items from my teacher wish list! ❤️ https://t.co/dG29qfwazk

@kidsdeserveit inspired Books and Buddies 3 years ago! This year we had to get creative and it turned out better than we could have imagined! Approx. 100 kids took home 5 free books. Now we need more books! Who can help!? #oklaed

[Krystin (Lovejoy) Kinsaul @loveteachjoy]

I find myself wanting to do these things lately, but struggling to push myself. I’m at least beginning to name the emotions and learn/reflect afterwards. Praying for peace, calm, and resilience.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Building personal resilience is about responding to adversity, to setbacks, to getting knocked down. The resilience comes from learning something in those moments. https://t.co/JAKuUTLMBd

Focusing our eyes, ears, heart, and mind toward anti-bias, anti-racist work is overdue for so many. We must accept this opportunity for personal growth and sustained change - in our schools. Join us in unpacking white privilege. Tickets are now on sale at https://t.co/WM7l0x78Ae!

@ltldrum Ignacio. He and his family have continued to work so hard. They are incredibly loving, helpful, and kind. This student is one of the hardest working I’ve ever had!
