@ParkwoodMS_NC @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC @ElizAllen910 This is awesome!

@ucpschat @AGHoulihan Q5- We had so many kids participating in a virtual spirit week. Also had over 60 kids responding to an IG poll on what book to read aloud next. Our kids are part of the conversation & connecting! #UCPSchat #PWMSpride #bearswithboundaries @UCPSNC @aghoulihan @ElizAllen910

Life is full of challenges and victories! Check out Q5 #UCPSChat @AGHoulihan

@JannaTolleson @AGHoulihan @Screencastify @google_meet Yep! Any chance we have to hook them into learning!!

@ucpschat @AGHoulihan We have been using @Screencastify , #BitmojiClassroom @google_meet! We will try anything to get our kids involved! 🍎

Let’s begin with a little bit of reflection! We’ll start with Q1. Please be sure to answer with A1 and include #UCPSChat @AGHoulihan

@kellylmarks54 @AGHoulihan @SardisES_NC It has forced some of us out of our comfort zones, but failing forward has been a key to our success!

@ucpschat @AGHoulihan A5- I believe one of our wins @SardisES_NC has been Ts becoming empowerED w/ tech programs & platforms. Ts are finding power in things they’ve been the most uncomfortable with & have been afforded time to make mistakes to learn how to use tech to maximize instruction.

@AGHoulihan Yes! 😎

@RimmerEdTech @AGHoulihan We're glad you're here!!

@ucpschat @AGHoulihan Casey, rolling in late to our chat. How is having 2 little humans in my house with me such a challenge... we can manage CLASSROOMS full of them in normal circumstances. Sometimes flexibility is key. I'm excited I can read back through and get caught up!

Good afternoon #TeamUCPS!! We appreciate you & are excited to join you for another great #UCPSChat! Please be sure to share who we are chatting with today! @AGHoulihan

@CuthbertsonMSNC @AGHoulihan Your hard work and effort during this time means so much to your colleagues, students, and their families.

@ucpschat @AGHoulihan My big win during this time is knowing that I am able to provide the one on one support to help people through this transition. The highlight of my day is the relief and gratitude that teachers, students and other colleagues express to me daily. It makes my heart smile.
