Compliance is not the end game. We want to do more than prepare students to do well on tests and follow the rules. We want to prepare them to make sound decisions, use their voice, and MAKE the rules. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion #SEL

We spend millions to implement research based practices. BUT, we ignore the extensive research that shows how play, recess, & physical activity, can improve focus, self regulation, and on task behavior, as well as academic achievement, interpersonal skills & mental health.

Research found simple, open-ended, non-realistic toys with multiple parts, like a random assortment of Lego, inspired the highest-quality play. Children are creative, engage in problem solving, interact with their peers, and use language. #learningthroughplay #playwithpurpose

Mrs. Carlson & Mrs. Roche’s 6th Grade Class @GompersD86 is hard at work! They’re learning about division of fractions. After a quick whole group lesson, students were off into their workstations and small groups sharpening their fraction skills.🎲#d86 math #d86hope #d86curriculum

I occasionally get pushback when I mention Finland education. But they let kids be kids. Recess every hour AND they even let them play in mud puddles. Imagine the joy!

Powerful message about complaining…approach concerns and/or problems with solutions. Complaining gets people nowhere and causes significant damage to the culture of an organization. #dg58pride

@mcmillon_serena @teresa_lance Provide paraprofessionals an option to purchase health and dental insurance. They deserve quality healthcare as much as teachers do.
