What if schools were "ready to let go of what is no longer working, act like owners, and constantly invent"? #ThinkBigActSmall #LetThemFly

@AnnMarieByrnes Yes! More beautiful work from students means authentic learning.

This amazing student was able to demonstrate her knowledge of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men by writing an original song describing George’s perspective. Her amazing T values learning over compliance! Thank you Chip! #authenticAudience #schoolisreal #makeSomething

@starfury9 @straczynski Your statement seems false. IF you watched Babylon 5 you would have seen exactly how JMS feels about fascists. I mean the night watch, president Clark, and this lady.

@straczynski I don’t understand watching Babylon five it would appear that you are for free speech, but I guess not.

Just think, if Charlie Manson had survived a few years longer, he too could have been given a berth on Twitter via a poll that removes the need to make an ethical decision based on his prior actions, handing off to those who just want a front row seat to watch the place burn down

@mpolikoff I can confirm I spoke to Morgan at the Sacramento Airport following the PACE event in 2019 (?). Morgan was friendly and approachable! #TiwtterCeleb

Metaverse, crypto, blockchain!! Oh my!!! Kiddos are so excited to don those headsets and create some artwork in their own virtual worlds!

Schools must think differently about what's being taught not just how it is being taught. To properly serve our students and their families, we must look for ways to move schools toward emerging technologies or perpetuate existing power structures keeping families from success.

I am extremely biased, but the Vision and Investment in the students of @VIDASHARKS is something to be reproduced in as many places as possible. VR, Crypto, & Blockchain are happening. Students and adults unfamiliar with this technology are potential victims of it. #Visionaries

VUSD IT is working hard to finish setting up our new VR (Virtual Reality) lab on campus where students working with @KimKriedeman will work to create their own NFT Art. Is this middle school - yuppers -- unlike many others out there. #WeAreVIDA

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos w my students after learning about for the past two weeks was a real joy. Ss created Loteria cards, honored those who have passed, & were amazed by the beauty of the ofrenda at the Vista Innovation Center with the help of @EvaLope78099924

Day 2 of our One point perspective design challenge, and this lively group worked through all kinds of challenges. Took the group pic before they’d finished, and they still have details they want to add. Pretty impressed with their collaboration on this street @VIDASHARKS

Lots of precision in detail while practicing designer skills at the outset of Day 2 7th Grade Year Long Design Challenge today! Classes will be creating a multi-dimensional cityscape scene for Design Expo in May. Thank you lead teachers: @crewsmath @MsBoian @KimKriedeman ❤️🦈❤️

Design Challenge day @VIDASHARKS and 7th grade just beginning one point perspective in prep for creating a scaled model of a city street. Tomorrow we create facades for their Fortnite themed street. #WeAreVIDA

@chriscfore @HesperiaUnified Great move coach! You are going to be such a force for those students!

I am so, so excited about a new opportunity and job change! On 12/1, I’ll start as the Principal at Mojave High School in the @HesperiaUnified District where I was a Special Education Teacher. Mojave is an outstanding continuation school serving about 350 students. Can’t wait!

The first illegal immigrants arrived from Europe via a boat. Agree?

@JerasIkehorn Stop. Let’s get fully past these mid-term results.

@chriscfore My old supe used to say, "If we knew and didn't act, they will just keep adding zeros to the check!" Leaders must be proactive. We must know our why.

This type of seminar should be at the top of every conference and every Superintendent's "to do list" when talking about PD for their coaching staff and athletic administration. Unfortunately, it never is until a lawsuit for gazillions of dollars hits their inbox.

High school students in the house @ACSA_info sharing poetry. Inspiring, Igniting & Lit. Get Lit- Words Ignite!

Ignited & Energized by @LAUSDSup today at Every Student Succeeding event. @ACSA_info “What you do & how you do it is a reflection of who you are.”

Important ongoing work on student grading policies and practices is happening at @LASchools with our Equitable Grading and Instruction leaders. #IBelieveInLAUSD
