Happy Charter Schools Week! Being a charter school in the face of COVID-19 has allowed us @LHACharters to quickly adjust to fully online education and to quickly allocate computers and/or hot spots for thousands of our students and families. Proud to be a part of the movement!

@tedfujimoto Not necessarily specific to SEL, but I'd recommend taking a look at the work of Ross W. Greene and his group, Think:Kids out of Mass General. His book "Lost at School" is really great.

In too many schools, we are killing the opportunity for scholars to become “curious” about their learning. How can curiosity awake the cat(scholar) vs. killing it? #thinkdeeper

This teacher starts building relationships with her students right at the door.

Today we honor the life of Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize-winning American writer and teacher, Toni Morrison, 1931-2019.

"You wanna fly, you got to give up the thing that weighs you down."

5% to 12% of students have symptoms of dyslexia but fewer than 4.5% are diagnosed. Dyslexia is detectable and treatable beginning in preK or Kindergarten. What will it take to eliminate dyslexia as a barrier for students? @LHACharters #primarypromise

In what ways can we ensure that our scholars play “the whole game”? Interesting read on making content more relevant by teaching it in ways real world professionals practice it. @LHACharters #LHACharters #deeperlearning
