I am excited to share the Kinetic Scholars Podcast Episodes developed through our participation in a VDOE Active Learning Grant. Please share and use! goopenva.org/courses/kineti… @vbcpsdtal #VBITS @GoOpenVA

As you're thinking about classroom assessments next year, remember that we grade against criteria for standards, outcomes, learning goals, i.e., evidence of learning, NOT the vehicle used to deliver that evidence. So, unless we're teaching the assessment format itself, whether or not students do a project, test, paper, demonstration, etc is irrelevant: It's whether or not they presented evidence of their proficiency. This blows the hinges off the doors on the way to success as it opens new and meaningful ways to demonstrate mastery. There's a lot of agency here, which leads to students owning their learning. For some units of study, teachers can even ask students for proposals for how they will demonstrate the evidence of the standard. Then, as with most assessments, ask students to prove their evidence, to explain how the standard is manifested in their presentation. Gosh, this makes learning -- and teaching -- way more fun, and for students, more substantive.

I'm excited to share about The Great Outdoors Learning Project: Practical Approaches for Powerful Impacts on Environmental Literacy at 2023 Summer Leadership Conference. Please join in the conversation! sched.co/1NoAc #VBEmpowered @sched @GOLearningVBCPS

Join us at Bayside High School this Saturday, June 3rd from 12pm-3pm for some family fun while connecting with resources that help promote a stronger community!

@CoachVedder_HPE This made me think of all of our conversations around feedback vs. grades and how to get students more involved in their own evaluation and thus goal-setting. Hope you are well! I know you are awesome ;)

Learning Forward is in DC/National Harbor next December! Proposals are due by January 31!

We are excited to invite all @vbschools staff to participate in the Building on the Science of Hope Workshop at the Plaza Annex! Come learn how goals, pathways, and agency can positively impact your unique work environment. #VBHasHope

I very much love how these videos continue to come out. The daily magic that happens everyday throughout this city is inspiring. The smiles, the learning, the laughter, and the love is immeasurable. ❤️

Excited to announce @vbschools @TCE_VBCPS @vbedfound are first ever recipient of @bayportcu Accelerating Change Together $500k grant. Together we’ll establish new renewable energy program @vb_atc—part of our ongoing commitment to future ready learning and community partnerships!

@VBEnvStudies Low water in canal made birds very happy! Easy fishing!

We witnessed a juvenile eagle take down a seagull today. There is always a lesson to be learned in the ephemeral spontaneity of the unknown.

Thnx, Superintendent panel at #VALIN 4.0 for describing how to navigate controversy without waffling or folding up your core values. The “hills to die on”&“redline” resonated with me for sure! @vbschools @CVadersen @GThomasCoker @Phillips_LSA @nicscud @vbmathjohanna @angieseiders

@MrDanielBuck Data? As an educator and a single parent of two thriving students in public education I kind of feel like you might be reaching here. You can put this in the “what was she wearing” pile as far as I am concerned. It seems about as accurate.

@VBSchools staff, did you know you have the opportunity to apply for up to $2,000 via an Innovative Learning Grant? Visit vbef.org for more details and to apply before the Oct. 14th deadline! Virginia Beach Education Foundation @vbedfound @VBFACE1

I had the opportunity to spend #VBDay1 @OceanLakesHS supporting students as the learn their new schedules, reset their passwords, and find their way around the beautiful OL building! So glad to be back there even if just for a few days! #dOLpHinS
