buff.ly/3imNslK "teachers visit the homes of each family....asked about their strengths as a family and any goals they have for their child." Really good reminders and/or insights into what teachers can do. #christianschools #christianeducation @ChristianSchMgt @tsdlorg

buff.ly/3dhx43O Urgency means planning has failed. Oh, there are some genuine crises. But most school crises are entirely predictable. Choose to plan better and react less. #christianeducation #christianschools @ChristianSchMgt @tsdlorg

buff.ly/3iUJRMC Once a year classroom observations do not result in useful evaluation. Actually, they are a waste of time. Marcus Buckingham noted, rating tells us more truth about the rater than the rated. #christianschools #christianeducation @CHristianSchMgr @tsdlorg

buff.ly/3a4icUm "Personalized learning is a common aspiration for students, yet adult learning remains astonishingly homogenous." Adults need a suit of PD clothes that fits them like a glove, not a sack of potatoes. #christianeducation @tsdlorg @ChristianSchMgt

"Every school takes their own approach to how they manage time, space, and learning beyond the walls of the school. That’s how you continue to scale and sustain transformation across a school district." —@DugleSusan bit.ly/3tVgQmm #edreimagined #edpolicy

High-Impact Administrators do for teachers what teachers should do for children: Consider opinions, plan ahead, act empathetically, develop talent. @ChristianSchMgt @tenthdimension2 @jennyknightoz #edutwitter #educhat

Radical trust of students. They embrace learning when they have autonomy. Plus executive functioning skills are naturally developed. Younger students are able to handle this too. #edchat #education #edutwitter

So true! How about take-your-parent-to-school day...Parents as experts in their field sharing with students...about take-your-teacher-to-work day...Parents are so much more than parents. #parentengagement #edchat #education

SLC are essential in all school cultures. They are truly transformative. Tsdl has experienced great success with SLC across all levels. #studentledconferences #educhat #education

Lines are for rulers, not children. In remote learning, there were no lines. Let's not go back. #edutwitter #edchat #education

@ChristianSchMgt A question all stakeholders must act on.

buff.ly/2QiE5IG "Schools are in trouble. The longer students spend in school, the less engaged they are. ... Gallup ... elementary school students are generally interested in school (76 %), ... 61 % MS ... 44% HS" Ever ask your children why? #christianeducation #tsdl

When the education of every single child is seen through the lens of a Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, epic stories will become the norm rather than the exception. @edutopia #edutwitter #edchat #education
