@cnieuwhof @iammiketodd This podcast was SO good. Thank you!

It is very hard to follow a leader that does not lead themselves. - @iammiketodd

@MisterCavey Loving it!!! Thanks again!

Hey @TeachBeyond, it was great to hear you've come on over to the zero-notifications club! To those still considering, imagine a world where your phone never interrupts you. Ever.

I've been saving this book for spring break and finished it on the morning of day 2, with many tears and prayers of thanks for @BethMooreLPM . Thank you for your ministry, your beautiful way with words, and your testimony.

@DSpyksma @yvrairport 😳😳😳

Hey @yvrairport what's happening with the people stranded in planes since 11 pm last night?

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @d_mulder @MisterCavey @MrRileyDueck @MissLowPCS @aheart4teaching @elliott_e_sadie @epellefsen @hyoungth @beim_m Amen! Multiple minds are always better than one. Thus type of humility is always what I most look for from teacher applicants. We is always better than me.

Ed thought of the day: Collaboration makes learning more integrated. If you're not collaborating with colleagues you're not the best teacher you can be. @DanBeerens @d_mulder @MisterCavey @MrRileyDueck @MissLowPCS @aheart4teaching @elliott_e_sadie @epellefsen @hyoungth @beim_m

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @hmatthewlee @MisterCavey @stacykaye_79 @MrRileyDueck @MissLowPCS Yes, helpful for them so see healthy rhythms modeled.

Ed thought of the day: Do you talk about Sabbath on Mondays? Verbalizing the choice to take 24 hours from work and why you do it, encourages students to see Sabbath as a worthwhile choice for them. @DanBeerens @hmatthewlee @MisterCavey @stacykaye_79 @MrRileyDueck @MissLowPCS

@DSpyksma @ddeboer @LiviaChanL @DanBeerens @MrRileyDueck @MisterCavey @janice__mac @chris_garner @hyoungth @AmidAppleTrees @mark_vanderwerf @MissLowPCS This had me pondering its applications in many ways today... friendships, marriage, health goals, so many things are richer when they are guided by a compelling why, a deep rooted commitment rather than merely compliance, which seems flimsy, and non emotional by comparison.

@DSpyksma @ddeboer @LiviaChanL @DanBeerens @MrRileyDueck @MisterCavey @janice__mac @chris_garner @hyoungth @AmidAppleTrees @mark_vanderwerf @MissLowPCS Love this.

Ed thought of the day: Is your classroom culture oriented toward compliance or commitment? Thanks P. Schlechty and @ddeboer for the connection. @LiviaChanL @DanBeerens @MrRileyDueck @MisterCavey @janice__mac @chris_garner @hyoungth @AmidAppleTrees @mark_vanderwerf @MissLowPCS

@dirksen_ben @curlysushi @DSpyksma @SGillespie81

Hi @curlysushi, @DSpyksma tells me you're doing wonderful things teaching middle schoolers math in a block period. Any chance you'd be willing to connect with and a few members of our staff at Pella Christian Grade School?

@ChristianSchCan Pre-conference is EXCELLENT!

#atthetableCSC2022 starts today with the Christian Deeper Learning pre-conference. Looking forward to welcoming you all at our reception this evening!

What a great list of learning and discussion protocols from Expeditionary Learning. Pick it up. drive.google.com/file/d/1B2PLDY…

We need to continually push back against this notion of teacher as source of knowledge. Cognitive growth increases with social interaction. We learn with and from each other. #atthetableCSC2022

@MisterCavey I feel like this list is GOLD!

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @d_mulder @hyoungth @hblyleven @Owen_Webb @tyleramidon @MisterCavey @MrRileyDueck Yes!!! If not, what are we doing!? In ALL things. A picture book, a moment on the playground, a local election. God is over all and in all.

Ed thought of the day: Do Ss get to know the Creator better through studying photosynthesis? Ecology? Math? If not, we might be missing something as Christian schools. @DanBeerens @d_mulder @hyoungth @hblyleven @Owen_Webb @teachbeyond @tyleramidon @MisterCavey @MrRileyDueck

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @MisterCavey @justinmcook @suer027 @MrRileyDueck @hyoungth @amimig @DaneSplinter @beim_m I get to see family from Alberta. We're meeting in the "middle" for a nephews soccer tournament. If only my excitement could make the ferry ride faster or highway kms shorter!

Ed thought of the day: Whether it feels like a reward or necessity for survival, Sabbath is an act of trust in a Creator who sustains you. How will you enjoy 24hrs away from work? @DanBeerens @MisterCavey @justinmcook @suer027 @MrRileyDueck @hyoungth @amimig @DaneSplinter @beim_m

@DSpyksma @GetInspirED_Pod 🤦🏻‍♀️soooo true @DSpyksma looking forward to listening!

@GetInspirED_Pod Based on my first two weeks back, I am going to have to listen to myself. 🤣 It's so easy to fall back into routines that might not be helpful.

Tomorrow we share @DSpyksma's 2021 InspirED Convention session titled 'Systemic Sabbath-Keeping – Creating a Culture of Trust.' Be sure to listen to the podcast on one of our platforms on your way into work or as you enjoy your last week of summer break.

@erika_education All the best!!!

Spent 8 hours at school today setting up my new room! Shout out to my mom who painstakingly laminated, cut, and hung all my decor and also reminded me to sit and eat. New school year is coming so fast!

@DSpyksma @angelalaing5 @DanBeerens @MisterCavey @MrRileyDueck @MrMcFteaches @stacykaye_79 @MissLowPCS @kprinzloo @DavidKGrills @qflokstra @AudreyMcGregor1 @AmidAppleTrees Amen! Cherish moments, prioritize people over tasks while students are still here. Headed out swimming all morning. 🎉

Ed thought of the day: One day at a time is real advice everyday, but essential advice this week. @angelalaing5 @DanBeerens @MisterCavey @teachbeyond @MrRileyDueck @MrMcFteaches @stacykaye_79 @MissLowPCS @kprinzloo @DavidKGrills @qflokstra @AudreyMcGregor1 @AmidAppleTrees

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @MrRileyDueck @janice__mac @stacykaye_79 @stevemcgriff @MisterCavey @hblyleven @hyoungth @kevinhuinink Students see and sense when teachers truly enjoy one another... teamwork isn't just for them to work on/towards. I couldn't imagine my work without them and am better because of them!

Ed thought of the day: Without good people to enjoy it with, the hard work of educating is almost unbearable. Appreciate your key colleagues today. @DanBeerens @MrRileyDueck @janice__mac @stacykaye_79 @stevemcgriff @MisterCavey @hblyleven @hyoungth @kevinhuinink @teachbeyond

@DSpyksma @DanBeerens @kprinzloo @MrRileyDueck @MisterCavey @epellefsen @d_mulder @MissLowPCS I LOVE this. So worth reflecting on.

Ed thought of the day: If your assessment process at the end of the year don't foster or increase relationship, you may be getting the data points you need at the expense of the school's mission. @DanBeerens @kprinzloo @MrRileyDueck @MisterCavey @epellefsen @d_mulder @MissLowPCS
