@klaybyker Congrats, coach and team!

3 in a row, and 4 out of our last 5. ⏳ Proud of the growth from this group! Two more this week. Go Pack! 🐺

A great deal of research has been conducted on what makes great schools great, or at least effective schools effective. Through my own research, I have identified seven primary factors that enable schools to see improvement over time. cace.org/sustainable-sc…

@epellefsen Amen!

Enjoy the goodness of life! twitter.com/Extremelol_/st…

@PeterWelle I’ll look for that receipt!

24 hours in Texas to lead a day of Teaching for Transformation training. It's important to start these trips off on the right foot.

Having faculty like @PeterWelle, @p_zuidhof, @ThorBenson5, and @jess_dewit lead these classes is one more reason to consider joining the summer TFT learning party. teachingfortransformation.org/masterclasses-…

@epellefsen @UCSFCancer @paulapoundstone Praying with and for you!

Checked in @UCSFCancer for CarT #3 tomorrow. Going into this one struggling, but hopeful. Fishy is in place & thanks @paulapoundstone for the encouragement and a bit of life to brighten up the view. #myelomawarrior

@tvansoelen You’re doing a good job of faking it!

Hooray - accepted for multiple presentations at a conference. On phone call: Them: “If we had known you weren’t an educator, we wouldn’t have accepted you.” Me: [pause] “I am an educator.” Them: “Oh...I mean a real one.” #ouch #goingtobringit #amazinglearning

@epellefsen Amen! Lola is wise!

New blanket made of school shirts just in time for CarT #3 & hospital check-in on Monday. I do love school gear & an amazing way for it all to be put together!!! Lola loves it too. It’s good to have friends!!!!

Thanks to @jarielbailey for this beautiful prayer: “Lord, help me to know that I am safe so that I can be brave.” May it be so.

@beim_m @jarielbailey That is a powerful prayer. I need to pray it regularly!

Watch a teacher make roughly ~1,000 instructional decisions in about 45 seconds. Only a few of them are about the lesson but the lesson depends on ALL of them. This is one of the hardest things to explain about teaching to people who have never taught.

Honestly, I don’t believe folks who say “new laws won’t change anything” on guns… in part because many of those same folks are actively working to change abortion laws because they know that laws change things. We KNOW that laws can save lives. The red line here is when Republicans ended the 1994 assault weapons ban in 2004.

You can’t be pro-life and ignore gun violence.

One of my favorite facets of the Teaching for Transformation framework is that we Reframe and Rename aspects of our work. The truth is, a new name changes the lens through which content is perceived and taught. cace.org/power-in-a-nam…

It’s good to have friends.

If you are a school administrator, educator, or parent, you have likely been bombarded with information about online learning since the pandemic. However, no two online programs are alike, so it helps to start by asking the right questions. cace.org/online-learnin…
