@SteeleThoughts Get in classrooms AND educate yourself about what effective instruction looks like. Talk with teachers. Create a culture where you lead by example.

Now do our ranking in educating our children @davidfholt Respectfully, if we don't fix this, these graduates who move to OKC for work will move out as soon as they have children... We need to get our act together
Mayor David Holt@davidfholt

Love this new ranking for OKC - a top ten city for recent college grads, thanks to our economic opportunity, quality of life, high numbers of educated young people, cultural offerings and cost-of-living!

There wouldn't be a #WorldMusicDay without music educators! From first introducing musical concepts, to leading performance groups, to teaching the next generation of music educators, thank you for sharing the joy of music with your students at every step of their education.

Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning!
Achievement and scores aren't what's lacking. Engagement is. We can design for it to happen at high levels. Resulting in achievement at high levels. It's not about entertaining bored kids. It's about engaging potential learners. It can be done.

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers… it’s about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves.

Great administrators walk around… a lot.  This is how they validate, how they recognize, how they communicate, and how they support.

It's the: Kids Parents Community Admin Attendance Fill in the blank When we blame things for lack of improvement, remember Uno. You don't choose your cards. Wild cards are thrown. You play the hand you're dealt to win. Complaining about cards doesn't win.l. Design wins.

In Luke 10:29, someone (rightly) affirms to Jesus that “love your neighbor as yourself” is a critical command. However, they follow that up by asking “who is my neighbor?” And Jesus answers with a story. However, I see people asking another question now. “What is love?” 1/9

@AMAZlNGNATURE The one on the left is an Alligator and the one on the right is a Crocodile. The best way to tell is by looking at their snout. Crocodiles have a V-Shaped snout while Alligators have a U-Shaped snout 👇.

Kids always learn one thing from any teacher & it's usually one of the first things... If they are cared about in that classroom. Learning that first helps the learning of all the other stuff at school.

One more time.... We are not here to teach; we are here to design learning. Teach, and we guess if learning happened. Design, and we guarantee that it does.

School districts need to focus on hiring principals who are leaders, not just managers. Leaders inspire, innovate, and create a vision for the future, not just maintain the status quo. Schools deserve leaders who can tackle challenges with compassion, empower teachers, and influence a culture where staff and students can realize their potential. amazon.com/Finding-Your-L…

Patriotic, pro-democracy Americans are reminded almost hourly why closed partisan primaries are actively harming America’s future. (BTW, Oklahoma City habitually elects unifying, effective leaders because we don’t traffic in such nonsense). (1/3)

Instead of resolutions let's make some New Year's Educational REVOLUTIONS! A few of mine... 1. Less planning to teach, more designing to learn. 2. Love first, then learning. 3. Examine the impact of all things through a lens of learning. What's yours for this new year?

A former superintendent of mine challenged me to reflect on the following questions between Christmas and the New Year. I’d encourage you to do the same.

Keen insight from @shaneparrish's new book, CLEAR THINKING, on why we should seek out -- and become -- "kind" people rather than "nice" people.

@toddbgungoll That Barnes &Noble translation is my favorite. Faithful to the Latin while being clear English prose.

You have not experienced CÆSAR until you have read him in the original Kling-, er, I mean, Latin. “GALLIA EST OMNIS DIVISA IN PARTES TRES” However, this translation will do nicely.
