Gathering participant expectations to inform our work together for the week #ISMSI2023 #LeadingtheEffectiveLowerSchool @isminc

It all starts with the relationships! #ISMSI2023 @isminc #LeadingtheEffectiveLowerSchool

Kicked off the summer with @penngse ISTR day school fellows. “I hear we’re going to be making things!” Yup. And finding ways to integrate this joyful choice-based work into all disciplines. #studentagency #fosteringcreativity #makered #buildingbelonging #joy

Join me in Philly! Turn your lower school division into an exceptional environment that provides a stable, student-centered learning community through ISM’s research-based strategies. events.isminc.com/e8ZXyz?sms=2 #isminc

DEI opponents often post one example of one book or one lesson or one drag queen reading to schoolchildren or one Pride Month celebration occurring in a single school under the exaggerated guise that those things are happening everywhere. They aren’t. www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.forbes…

And that's a wrap! Closing the chapter as Beginning School Director at Renbrook and starting makingspaceconsutling.com #consulting #coaching #buildingbelonging #fosteringcreativity
