@BrentVanSchepen @baseballinpix @mnbaseball Maybe if they would've kept some outfield grass. I need a yard!

@Sanderson19861 13 left! Did you run through yours?

A key question for schools looking toward sustainability is "Do we love the mission that God has entrusted to us - or do we love the means we are using to achieve it more?" #FutureReady @epellefsen @eckertjon @LynnSwaner1 @matthewlee

Seems like something @tvansoelen knows a thing or two about 🙂

Q: I wonder how we can create structure to help our teams function more collaboratively. Finish: "What if we tried...." #atplc

@EdStarkenburg She is amazing. And today was the day!

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

After her forehead took the brunt of a fall on the sidewalk, it was a rough morning.

All was well this afternoon when a gift arrived and Emerson was designated as a Future Defender by @dordtuniversity and @DordtPresident !

@DordtSL @mnbaseball Stud.

@d_mulder @converge_summit 100%. After another conference where I was out almost a week earlier this year and an upcoming site visit where I'll be out for a couple of days, I'm still growing into/wrestling with what to go to v. be present at school.

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

@mnbaseball Hmmm...goal of a unit, yes. On their own, lessons might not be explicit in that goal, but should have a purpose toward the bigger picture. In allowing student reflection, students can hopefully see how those not so fun times did still help them toward the overall goal.

@joehox @dordtuniversity @DordtEDUC @d_mulder @DordtPresident They should have asked you to make one!

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

I've been seeing these on my feed lately, all while anticipating (and hoping for) the arrival of my own! Thankful for the way @dordtuniversity stays connected with alumni @DordtEDUC @d_mulder @DordtPresident

@epellefsen @LibertyU @GangsterCapital @gcu This podcast keeps popping up and being mentioned in conversation. I'm going to need to dive into it soon.

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

@d_mulder @BrianVerwolf @TimElmore @VanLunenCenter @beim_m Did @beim_m beat me to it and finish it already?

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

A big thanks to @TimElmore for sharing at the @VanLunenCenter conference last weekend and for the book. Started it last night and it's hard to put down. So much great content to dive into!

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

@d_mulder I met @beim_m in person for the first time over the past few days at Van Lunen. I can see how the two of you get along so well. Both of you engage in discussions with such a good posture. Thankful for the both of you and all of the @DordtEDUC team.

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

@MMuyen I should've came early for a Bears game! See you tomorrow

[Tyler Van Schepen @tylrvnsc]

@BrianVerwolf I don't know if I am. The last time with my Van Lunen cohort, which is our first time in person, are the days leading into 2.0, so I'll be out a good chunk of next week. All great opportunities, hard to know how much to go v. stay. Wouldve loved to be where you are now as well
