Feeling motivated by what we learned during the @DivA_EdLead session "Building a Common Agenda for the 2020s and Beyond" Grateful to these amazing panelists for sharing their insights & perspectives to open conversations on moving the field of #educationalleadership forward!

@DocZo Hey, my friend! I hope all is well!

Good to see you @ddspikes !!!

@MariRodPhD @DivA_EdLead @sfaircloth12 @DrMoniByrne @katherinerodela @CaseyDCobb @Lead4Edu @KarenSeashore @UCEA @icpel I really enjoyed the dialogue and look forward to continued conversations/collaborations!

@ErinDoran_EdD @Whataburger @HEB Yes!!!

@RRG_TAMUC @ErinDoran_EdD @rosiejperez @KristieTank Love it! I hope you all are well!

@MannyGPhD @Matt_Giani Haha! True!!

Last night my wife and I were in bed and we left the light on so I reached into my sock drawer, hurled a pair of socks at the light switch, and managed to turn off the light and honestly it’s the coolest thing I’ve done since I made a game-winning shot in intramural basketball.

@Matt_Giani @MannyGPhD Haha!! Of course I remember!! We acted like we’d just won the championship! That was one of the highlights of grad school!!

@ddspikes You remember that dude?!? Good times! Where’s @MannyGPhD, at? That game-winning shot would have been a lot cooler if I didn’t decide to do a cartwheel to celebrate 🤸‍♀️.

@profvinnycho @profbwd @CPEDEdD Yep! I’m going into my 2nd year now. Yes, let’s definitely catch up!

@profbwd @CPEDEdD @ddspikes I just heard you moved to University of SC. Maybe I can at least catch up with you next month!

@profbwd you going to @CPEDEdD in October?

@virginiaemartin @QynneKelly @mseckhoytms @CarrieRo3o @rileyddrake @LisaClayberg @doughertysj I’m in!

@DonCheadle Wow!!!!

Meeting kicked off by Dr James Anderson who made the point “anti racist leadership isn’t a nice to have. It’s a must have” @ddspikes @AjweltonIllini @Brad_Carpenter @gooden_mark @jeffreysbrooks @Spencer_Fdn @edILLINOIS

@gooden_mark shares "facilitating conversations on race is very hard, draining and complex" - we have to prepare aspiring leaders to do this work well. #antiracistleaders @edILLINOIS @MizzouEducation @Spencer_Fdn @angelvelez85 @ddspikes @hongwon @DrDeMatt @AjweltonIllini

What a DAY. Listening and dreaming re: anti-racist school leadership. Grateful to these leaders, this space. @spencerfdn @AjweltonIllini @sarahdiem35 @DrDeMatt @MDYoungUCEA @gooden_mark @ddspikes @DecoteauIrby @Brad_Carpenter @SchoolEquityPro @marcusacampbell @ILRaiseYourHand

#UCEA President @MariRodPhD asks poignant question How are we preparing culturally responsive school leaders? As she reminds us to Reach Back to Bring Others Forward! @Dr_AprilPeters @DrTerah @MDYoungUCEA @lopezgr88 @DrMoniByrne @SonyaHorsford @Brad_Carpenter @terrancelgreen

@JamilahLemieux 😂😂😂😂

@amor_stacey That’s awesome! Yes, I’m actually a professor now at the University of South Carolina. Mrs. Spikes (Garisa) is doing well. She’s also working here at USC as an academic programs coordinator. I’ll let her know you asked about her. Again, good to hear from you! Stay in touch!
