The Bellevue School District acknowledges that we learn, work, live & gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived & continue to live here, since time immemorial.

@SuzTeaches @BeckyKeene Such fun !

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

Such wisdom and fun. Invigorating even after a long day with students (and our first fire drill). Thank you for the time to reflect on our "why"

Great reminders of the power we have to make a difference (even, especially, this year). What other hacks do you use?

Hack your happiness for Monday

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

Appreciating technology as a tool for bringing our fabulous staff together. Today staff shared experiences, sad and happy, helping us to stay connected.

[Joanne McEachen @joannemceachen]

A great reminder about the importance of people, place, culture, identity and technology. @KarangaGlobal @TheLearnerFirst @coreeducation @bigpiclearning @EllenPerconti @MrsGraysClass @drkarenedge @PSConsortium @SalzburgGlobal

Dear Fellow Admin, Thank you for showing compassion and flexibility with your staff during these challenging times. They in turn will be able to provide the same for their students. We can do this.

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

@gcouros Good question, but let’s reframe it. What are the learning outcomes, and is there a tech tool that will improve learning, empower and engage students? So many resources mentioned in this thread can make a difference.

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

This #MIEExpert experience stuck with me too. Our school Equity and Inclusion team has been reflecting on school traditions and how we can ensure they work for all students @TheBSD405 @TheLearnerFirst

[Andy Knueven #YouKnuevenLearn 💚 @MrCoachK15]

Such a powerful thought that I reminisce about. 🤔🤝

Thank you @Microsoft & @Xbox, especially @brycej, for opening The Inclusive Tech Lab's doors for all of us #MIEExpert at the Underground Learning Summit in Redmond, WA earlier in January! #MicrosoftEDU

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

We all benefit when we empower our kids.

[Matt Miller 🗑️ @jmattmiller]

Do your students help you make your sub plans?

Just saw that @KVoge71 and @HeRhymesWithMe collaborated with their students to make sub plans. Super cool. 😎

If so, what's it look like? What do you do? #ditchbook #tlap #edchat #edtech

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

As admin we can support this. By working to build trusting relationships and communicating expectations of accepting practices such as 20% time, teachers can be empowered to build student-empowering environments.

[Mark Sparvell 🌏🌍🌎 #sparvellous @sparvell]

Why "20% Time" Is Good for Schools https://t.co/F2TqhtkW94

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

Yes, and we can empower students to control their tech and be critical consumers

[Louka Parry @loukaparry]

Every day, computers are making people easier to use..

Fascinating insights from Rory Mcgreal on the case for #OER - open education resources. #ICSEI2020

#controlyourtech

[Tara Gray @MrsGraysClass]

Under no illusion that it will be easy, but we must change our schools. Our kids deserve better, and there’s no one better to help drive change than empowered students.

[Marc Brackett @drmarcbrackett]

Hot off the press: Our national study on how high school students feel at school. Hint: not great! Lots to think about. Some solutions provided: #socialemotionallearning #emotionalintelligence @YaleEmotion @rulerapproach @caselorg @YaleCSC -Read & share.
