love Dr. Laurie McCullough & her coaching approach - “we remember what we agree with -ramp up your listening zone for what you don’t agree with,what challenges your beliefs because that’s often what is most important to the other person-develop a listening routine!” @scl_va today
“Together, we cherish the inherent value of people.” A message that resonates as much today as any day before.
Appreciate every past and present teammate and partner of @ALPlearn for investing your hearts into your work, into each other, and into the communities we serve.
@tborash Shout casting with @TerpsEsports If you don’t have an esports program, you are leaving out so many kids who not only can play but can contribute and develop skills that they can take with them into whatever they choose next. @ALPlearn@DellTech@RocketLeague
Thank you @TerpsEsports for my 1st shoutcasting experience at the #DellEsportsSummit! (Tried to be as impartial as possible, but I was secretly cheering on @jongregori and Team Red.) Live stream: https://t.co/stnUKM7QsR

I asked a group of former cohort members what we, as a university, could have done better to prepare students for the being a teacher.
One student's answer stuck with me.
"I wasn't ready for the loneliness. As a cohort, we were a community. You played a small role but it was us as a leader but, sorry, John, it was us. We were tight. Then you enter the field and you're on your own. I just wish I worked at a place where we ate together and planned together and had a couple of drinks together on Friday night like we did as as a cohort. I miss that so much."
I'm not sure how you define PLC but it's not "a group of people who analyze data together." It's what she was describing. It's a community that talks shop on a Friday afternoon after work.
