all scholars should have opportunities to learn from the feedback of their assessments @john_hattie @jtalmarode #AVL2023

we’re ensuring that scholars don’t learn vocabulary without context. vocabulary is conceptual, so when scholars learn how words connect, their vocabulary becomes stronger @DFISHERSDSU @NancyFrey #AVL2023

listening comprehension sets the ceiling for reading comprehension. our lessons have to have regular, daily oral practice for our scholars to grow @DFISHERSDSU @NancyFrey #AVL2023

belonging is not a luxury; it is a basic human need that must be met for students to thrive academically and emotionally @Doc_Nik307 @learnersquared #AVL2023

humanity is NOT up for debate @learnersquared @Doc_Nik307 #AVL2023

all scholars CAN have acceleration. all scholars deserve to have that opportunity @Doc_Nik307 @learnersquared #AVL2023

discipline is about building rich and rigorous curriculum. punishment is about teaching to the test. we need to include discipline and reimagine punishment in our schools @MilnerHRich #theracecard #AVL2023

frontline leadership is about what we do to make the world a better place. it’s about who we are and what we do. when we see something unjust or inequitable, i’m going to stand up and speak up, in every aspect of our lives @MilnerHRich #theracecard #AVL2023

all of us are capable of making students feel invited and that they have a sense of belonging @NancyFrey @DFISHERSDSU @domsmithRP #AVL2023

if we don’t enjoy what we’re doing, we can’t expect the kids to @eckertjon #JustTeaching #AVL2023

there is great joy to be found in the work we do every day as an educator, but we lose sight of that. so how do we find it again? @eckertjon #JustTeaching #AVL2023

we need to stop saying “just a teacher.” teaching is the profession that leads to all others #JustTeaching @eckertjon #AVL2023

we need to teach each student for who they are meant to be @eckertjon #AVL2023

evaluative thinking is not just thinking critically. it’s thinking purposefully, understanding what’s actually going on using your knowledge, memories, and skills. it is with the intention to act and have an impact, analysing as you go @janet_clinton #AVL2023

evaluative thinking is being deliberate @janet_clinton @jtalmarode #AVL2023

it is our job as educators to teach scholars the skills, knowledge, and tools to accept others. to see the world through different lenses, that their actions have the power to lift up or overpower, & to develop perseverance and the value working with others @john_hattie #AVL2023

the mindframes are not an opportunity to talk about diversity and belonging - it’s an opportunity for us to BE about it @learnersquared #AVL2023

equity is about humanity. equity is us seeking what others need. equity is about fairness and consideration. @learnersquared @CorwinPress #AVL2023

how are you going to be intentionally inviting to scholars, teachers, the community, and family members? how do we affirm using micro-affirmations every day to communicate that we support others in any way we can? @Doc_Nik307 @CorwinPress #AVL2023

what are the barriers for our scholars from showing up in the fullness of who they are? @Doc_Nik307 @CorwinPress #AVL2023
