#PBL is not just about 'projects' It's also about learning. Maybe we should call it Learning-Based Projects? #LBP #learning #elevate2educate

Maya Angelou was born on April 4, 1928. We acknowledge and celebrate her life, legacy, and contributions to literature and civil rights on this special day. 🎉🎂🎈#MayaAngelou #95Facts

‘We don’t have time to waste.’ -Mimi Kim #JusticeInnovationsSummit

"Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.” #MayaAngelou

@alextvalencic Would love to know how this turned out!

Twitter PLN! I am making a graphic to differentiate between project-based learning and learning-based projects. What are some key differences you would include? (Looking for more than just the gold standards of PBL.) @thnorfar @spencerideas @ajjuliani @johnlBIE @BIEpbl #pblchat

Being reminded of this very idea today.

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we offer gratitude to our lineages, uplifting the resilience of these Ancestors and the paths of resistance they forged in preparation for us. #InGratitudeOfOurAncestors

The traditional learning sequence is: I Do ➡️ We Do ➡️ You Do. The first step and last step get plenty of attention, but the middle is often overlooked. A growing body of research suggests why that’s a big mistake.👇 edut.to/3RLc61p

"We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay - and rise!" #MayaAngelou

"Develop enough #courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else." #MayaAngelou

This mistake-analysis exercise gets students out of their seats and thinking about problems in many different ways—*and* it’s completely student generated. ✨ edut.to/3ZmPXIK

"When a student knows that you care about them, when they know that you're a human, their academic performance is going to be better." That's the power of relationships. 🧡

The message from Maui community is loud and clear: cancel your vacation and travel plans. Lāhainā needs time to heal and regenerate, and Native Hawaiians and local communities must be centered in the rebuild. Not realators, developers, and tourists. Lāhainā isn’t for sale.

“Human beings are more alike than we are unalike. And the minute we began to understand, just the slightest part of that, we recognize ourselves as family.” #MayaAngelou

I don’t have the words 💔 hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong?ut…

"The desire to reach the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise and most possible." #MayaAngelou

Gotta do the heartwork to get the head to work #elevate2educate

Women fill the significant majority of teaching roles in schools, yet they hold fewer than a third of superintendent positions nationwide. School districts must enact deliberate programs to develop female leadership pipelines. @PresenceLearn gettingsmart.com/2023/07/18/ele…

The accurate history of American slavery should be taught to children in age-appropriate and honest ways that develop critical thinking, while recognizing that Black history is U.S. history and goes beyond slavery. #TeachTruth lfj.pub/3RELvRR

In case you think @Moms4Liberty quoted Hitler by mistake, here’s Ryan Helfenbein @ the Faith & Freedom Coalition Gala: “If you don't control education, you can’t control the future. Stalin knew that. Mao knew it. Hitler knew it. We have to get that back for conservative values.”
