Great session tonight with @KyCharge. I absolutely love learning more about Visible Learning and can't wait to explore more! #leadthecharge

[Sarah Barnett @sbarnett219]

Today students did a "what I've learned this year" turkey. It was a great opportunity for ME to reflect on things that I've learned and been passionate about this year ❤️🦃 @KEDCGrants @KyCharge #leadthecharge

[Sarah Barnett @sbarnett219]

Hear me out: My juniors were blown away today talking about John Hattie's effect size list. I KNOW it's hard. I KNOW it's not easy to just "remember your why." But this job truly is a calling and I'm glad I can fill up one small space of my students' lives ❤️❤️

[Sarah Barnett @sbarnett219]

Me and a colleague were just discussing the misinformation our students believe. I'll definitely be sharing this with her. Thanks @RetroReport!

Did you know? Halloween is celebrated in April in Germany! Today we took a break from regular instruction to dive into some cultural geography. Students colored at the end of class because we are all still kids at heart! 🎃🦴🍭 @KyCharge

Did you know? During WW1, the Hello Girls could transfer ten calls in the time it took their male counterparts to transfer one. Thanks for this great session from the @KyHistSoc @KyCharge #leadthecharge

Loved the session from @EdTechKelly yesterday. Some lessons are heavy, but I'm proud of the open conversations that were happening in my room today. @KyCharge @KEDCGrants #alwayslearning #projectzero

#OnThisDay in 1917, legendary trumpeter “Dizzy” Gillespie was born in Cheraw, South Carolina. One of the pioneers of “bebop” jazz, he is considered one of the greatest trumpeters to ever play.

At 12, he taught himself to play trumpet, dreaming of becoming a jazz musician. He played with Cab Calloway’s orchestra before getting into an altercation with the band leader. He wrote big band music with Woody Herman and Jimmy Dorsey before performing with Ella Fitzgerald. He, Charlie Parker and others initiated bebop at famous jazz clubs in New York City, and Gillespie later introduced Afro-Cuban music into that mix.

His trademark trumpet, which was bent upward, initially resulted from an accident. Happy with the new tone, he had a new “bent” trumpet made.

He played hundreds of shows a year and won Grammys in 1975 and 1980. He told his life in music in his memoir, “To Be or Not to Bop.

Before he died in 1993 of pancreatic cancer, he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the Kennedy Center Honors Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Duke Ellington Award for a half-century of achievement as a composer, performer and bandleader.

“With his endlessly funny asides, his huge variety of facial expressions and his natural comic gifts, he was as much a pure entertainer as an accomplished artist,” The New York Times wrote. “In some ways, he seemed to sum up all the possibilities of American popular art.”

It should not require experiencing an injustice to care about it.

Shared this with our teachers today 📽️ What stuck out to all of us: "Retro Report Executive Producer and President, Kyra Darnton, often refers to “Citizen Nation” as a love letter to teachers." It will be a great way to kick off Fall Break 🍁
