[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

A good mentor will:

1. push you harder than you expected
2. guide you with better questions
3. expect continuous improvement
4. dare you to dream big
5. challenge assumptions
6. be a lifelong student
7. appreciate self-taught mentees
8. teach you how to think, not what to think

“We can ensure students are college and career ready by ensuring all students have a college and career experience while still in high school.” @KimHunterReed #ECSWCM Completely agree. Foundational to success of @futurereadyiowa.

@UISocialStudies @ms_hansen @BigHistoryPro @Hawk_Nation71 @AyetteKhaldie @darealjonhamlin @bloom_drew @jgringer96 @mrvanedu @bpsocialstudies @sydneydeboered Big History is a big hit among students because it’s an investigative way to learn. But it takes students a while to come around to it because it makes students think instead of just remembering somebody else’s narrative!

🏒 Huge shoutout to the Iowa Wild and their “Wild About Education” day. Over 50 different schools attended the game where I was honored to be recognized as the hero of the game. Thanks for the special memories - what a fun day. @IADeptofEd @IAWild @sully68

Academic Twitter is becoming a thing. Some teachers are capitalizing on its potential. Makes you wonder if other platforms like Reddit and Snap will enter the education realm as well
