BEAUTIFUL. DAY. Respect, empathy, engagement, opportunity, LOVE. @SantaAnaUSD is doing it right. Cherished this time w/former colleagues, friends, & mentors. We are in the, "reclamation of intimacy." May we, "love ourselves as ourselves." - Marcus Omari, Closing Keynote

Thank you @HBUHSD for hosting OCMAA at the beautiful auditorium of @HB_APA I always look forward to learning from our @Arts4Oc collective. Today, we focused on our inclusive practices in the Arts, learned more about APA's facilities and programs, and collaborated around Prop 28.

I was able to read to 4th grade @ Lomarena today for their annual Community Read In! And I had THE BEST Peer Assisted Leader escort me around the school, my oldest kiddo ❤️ I shared w/them all art forms should be celebrated, especially contributions to our diverse representation.

14th Annual Creative Edge Lecture: Author, poet, and thought leader @ninaksimon activated the room around regeneration & the processes we must establish to materialize progress. Thank you, Nina, for time to reflect on how we hone in on key ideals, unlearn, & revamp our systems!

What a lovely day!!

The @NovakEducation Katie Novak event at Seasons 52 for @ACSAXVII was 🔥 I don't think I can quantify just how much I LOVE her. Inspirational, powerful, AUTHENTIC, and INTENTIONAL. Thank you for spreading the inclusive beauty that is UDL with the administrators present tonight!

I had the privilege of speaking on an arts education leadership panel today with an esteemed group of colleagues. OCDE's first College & Career "Pathways in the Arts" event and we were able to share inspo with current high school students ❤️ #creativityisnotoptional

Thank you @AnaheimElem for hosting this month's OCMAA meeting! @Arts4Oc asks the tough questions of our OCDE Arts collective and leverages opportunities to share and learn from each other. Always grateful for this group!

"How do we call ourselves teachers if we don't want to be taught?" - Dr. Donyall Dickey EQUITY is LOVE in ACTION: ❤️ FULL. Amazing speakers, presentations, & colleague connections near/far Thank you @PCrooks_VAPA & @Arts4Oc for this opportunity. I hope to be better in this work

@lindseygatfield @martinkat @ACSAXVII @SVUSDSchools Many congratulations Kathy!!! So well deserved ❤️

@TweetsNoelle @artfulartsyamy @RudyChem A friend of mine did a photography series called "Paint Monsters" where she took macros of the characters created when paint reacted to sound (she placed the paint on a flat surface on top of a speaker). I have a few in our house.

@artfulartsyamy @RudyChem Ahhhhh my science coordinator isn’t on Twitter but we were JUST talking about how we would do this at a STEAM fair as part of a lesson!!!
