Easter was different this year...and so beautiful at the same time!

@JonGordon11 Energy Bus For Schools

When I received my masters in teaching and taught for a year at the age of 23 I never thought I would one day write a book with a blueprint and tons of strategies to improve school culture, energize teachers and impact students. When I became a speaker I intended to speak to just businesses but after writing the Energy Bus I kept being invited to speak to schools, districts and education conferences as well as businesses. I didn’t choose schools. They chose me. I realized it was part of my calling to make a difference in schools and the fact that @JimVanAllan wrote his PHD thesis on the Energy Bus’s impact on school culture made him the perfect person to write our new book The Energy Bus for Schools. @EnergyBusSchool To celebrate the launch of our new book I’m giving away a few copies. Just comment “Energy Bus for Schools” below for a chance to win. We will pick a few winners on Monday. I also hope you will order a copy today and support our mission to impact schools. This book is going to help so many school leaders improve our schools. Educators have the power to change kids lives but they need the tools and strategies this book provides and I would love for you to join us in this movement and mission. energybusforschools.com/ebsbook/

@BailsAP One of my favorites and I laugh every time!

Will always be hilarious. “As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

🚫 Not giving #students options for how they show their #learning introduces significant barriers to many. HOW you show your learning isn't the same as WHAT you learned. Giving only one way compromises the validity of our assessment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

📊 Poor grading practices shut doors for #students, and it disproportionately harms students who don't play the game of #school well, regardless of how well they #learn. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #atassessment

🎓 If a #student with an #IEP is struggling with an assignment, the assigning #teacher is the best person to help. We are wasting the resource of our special ed #teachers when we use them for assignment help. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #UDL #TeacherTwitter
