Today was my last day as elementary principal. Excited to begin my new chapter as Director of Elementary Education (overseeing language immersion & early childhood education programs). #NewAdventure #NewChapter

The inaugural 4J Ignite Event was a success! We were reminded of the power we all have to use our words to share our story with @alexdangpoetry. In addition, we were reminded of going back to that interview chair with @casas_jimmy to help us reframe our thinking. #Culturize

@DJE_29 ¡Felicidades! Congratulations on the new position.

Sometimes opportunities present themselves that we cannot pass up. I am sad for leaving my fellow educators and students in Newberg but I am excited for this change and opportunity. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work!! #sisepuede #equity #curriculum

Today, I was showered with so many words of appreciation. I am humbled to serve as the principal of @BuenaVista_Eug . #AmazingCommunity

@DJE_29 @COSALeaders Very true! We need to continue to hold high expectations of our students. However we need to seek to understand where our families are coming from in order to help them, help their kids.

@COSALeaders A3) I agree keeping it simple but also not lowering our expectations. Also using various modalities for access to content. #COSAPrinChat @COSALeaders

Wow! Can’t believe it is time for question three! What tips have you picked up so far? #COSAPrinChat

@COSALeaders I borrowed the idea from this principal in another state. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

@DirectoraIbarra Great idea! How do you do that?

A4: I have sent digital postcards to staff- with a recorded message. Spotlighting T that have a tech tip & tricks. #COSAPrinChat

@rolettog @COSALeaders @bridger_school Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Our T will end this school year w/more strategies to maximize learning. They have had to hone in and be intentional w/their lessons. #COSAPrinChat

A2: I use each of our staff meetings as a mini opportunity to model a digital tool they can use. In addition, this is an opportunity to do some quick community building activity. #COSAPrinChat
