Highly passionate learning & development mgr working with educators to improve student equity, teacher success, & college/career readiness for students.
@Oxygenexp Thank you and I truly look forward to what is on the other side for education systems that are finally stepping it into the 21st century. The skills they are all developing simultaneously will change everything.
"It is incumbent upon educators to disrupt this trajectory toward rising white nationalism by ensuring that class time is spent deepening relevant knowledge and cultivating the courage to stand up to bigotry and hate. We thank educators for being our partners..." @RogerBrooksFH
@Oxygenexp What works so far: building relationships with staff so they trust me with not ‘knowing it all’, chunking the tech proficiency learning into bite size pieces they consume when they have time, and helping all keep our eyes on the outcome. That said, my teachers are still drowning
@Oxygenexp I’m actually an L&D manager at a high school now but have been in and out of the classroom for 15 years having various roles in the Ed systems.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has chosen LDC to spotlight exemplary work in the field of education! LDC is one of only two US organizations to be honored nationally at the National Press Club on November 21, 2019 in Washington D.C.
You cannot call yourself a “culturally responsive” educator if your purpose is to raise test scores rather than to liberate young people’s spirits and ignite their intellectual curiosity.
#edcamppswa is in ON and we are talking everything from neuroscience to equity to design thinking. Love being a part of this community. Thanks @EdCampPSWA for supporting these learning opportunities.
Help my students get new culturally relevant books! Check out my class on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/ShEcWJiMJZ
So pumped to start teaching IB Psych at @HenryFossHS next year! What a great opportunity for #TacomaSchools students to get started on their college (and life!) curriculum. Grateful for @LysandraNess for the opportunity!
Yessss @LitDesignCollab! Great video! Now if only I could get my district @tacomaschools or @MarieVerhaar to love it at much as I do! It would fit so perfectly w/our priority standards initiative too. But what do I know ;-) https://t.co/KnrcHhhvtC via @youtube
Think good #classroomdesign is out of your budget, or have you given up because you're way too crowded? This week, I interviewed @ideaguy42 and got twelve specific things ANY teacher can do to make their classroom so much better for learning.
