@ajost It’s official: you’re old.

Here is the Clayton School District’s “Portrait of a Graduate.” Feels good — feels right — to return home. #ClaytonExperience

Please join me and hear what teenagers say about apathy, motivation, and the real purpose of high school!

.@Miss_D_Valenti @bethdavey_teach @MistyGrandel @crestfit2021 @holmsplice @LGlasgowNBCT—how about a professional six?

@tedfujimoto I was hoping for this. Wish others viewed “high-performing schools” this way. Not the norm, unfortunately. Thank you.

@holmsplice Schools that are able to serve kids of all socio economic backgrounds on both academic and social emotional development at a world class level, positive culture, are operationally sound w good execution and provide what is necessary for kids to have the best and top life options

What is one thing that would dramatically improve public education? Have all education leaders, policy makers, community leaders spend a day experiencing a high performing public school. It will completely rewire their thinking-many pointless debates/actions would be avoided.

Over the past 3 years @holmsplice traveled to 48 states to discuss with teens & YAs the origins of apathy and the purpose of HS. Now...he's sharing it with you at the #NNSTOY21 Summit! eventbrite.com/e/national-tea…

Excited to share student voice (their words, not mine) on the subjects of apathy, motivation and resilience at next month’s National Summit on Student and Teacher Resilience and Well-Being! Join me! #NNSTOY21 @NNSTOY Website: nnstoy.org/2021-nnstoy-su…

@mcognata Yes.

This...

And the teacher becomes the student... If you’re interested in the science of happiness, you’ll want to know Dr. Emily Willroth. She is a former student of mine, turned teacher of mine, and this is her first recurring blog for Psychology Today. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-ha…

@MrTomRad “Also, I wish students had a powerful union too.” This.

“Biggest takeaway” they asked for! Feeling a bit overwhelmed (in the best way) with all of the ideas, expertise & takeaways provided in today’s #ESSummit educationspeakerssummit.com/?fbclid=IwAR0T…

Over 94% of Missouri schools currently offer onsite instruction; therefore, MO Teachers of the Year sent this letter requesting vaccination prioritization for all educators & staff. We ask for your support as we continue to serve Missouri’s greatest treasures: our children!

@_culturefeed is excited to announce a new page for #educators - culturefeed.com/incharacter/ - where you will find conversations, blogs, and more about key topics facing us today. Check out this #blog piece on #Resilience by @cholmes66: culturefeed.com/exploring-the-… @gerard_924 @NNSTOY

"The question is not 'Can resilience be learned?' Of course, it can... but let's be clear: learning resilience and teaching resilience are far from synonymous." culturefeed.com/exploring-the-… #resilience #adolescence #self @_culturefeed @MoSTOYchapter @NNSTOY

pandemirage: the false hope that a pandemic is finally going away

Important conversation about building resilience in students. Privileged to join these incredible educators. Thank you, @gerard_924 and @read12me, for providing this platform for dialogue!

@susangbarber Just one minute ago, I expressed this exact sentiment to my wife. 😕

Any other teachers feel like crying? I'll push through, but y'all, this isn't what I signed up for. My classes are going pretty good but the workload far exceeds my capacity (and I'm a high capacity person).
