@HowIBuiltThis There’s a lot of innovation and quality work coming from the cities along Lake Ontario (Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse). Lovely too.

@HowIBuiltThis In the past 2 decades, Wegmans has expanded throughout the Northeast and MidAtlantic. One of their secrets is that they support local farmers in whatever region in which they expand.

This week on #HowIBuiltThis, hear how siblings James and Alexa Hirschfeld built the online invitation company @paperlesspost, responsible for over 650 million invitations

@nsssasocstudies @NCSSNetwork @TBeeneEdu Would enjoy hearing how your approaches align with the WIDA ELD Standards Framework — Language Expectations and Proficiency Level Descriptors at standards.wida.us

One day away - Join us on Oct. 17 for an hour of learning with @TBeeneEdu! Practical and useful strategies will be shared - they can be implemented the next day! You don't want to miss this! @NCSSNetwork #NSSSA2023 #NSSSA23

@YWSteamPrepNT @UTEP @neuropete01 @scottgray77 @ccontive @ELPASO_ISD @ISTELive2023 Conference favorite - UTEP/Guillen Middle school poster on student translanguaging makes the classroom and curriculum more culturally responsive/sustaining! Showcased benefit of assets-based approaches to connect to students’ funds of knowledge and communities.

Today we recognize our @UTEP partners: Dr. Katherine Mortimer & Dr. Monika Akbar-computer scientist & translanguage experts providing YWA access to #NSF grant opportunity focused on culturally linguistic & computational thinking curriculum! #GirlPower #WomensHistoryMonth

How refreshing! A school district that wants to have an innovative culture. Loved how they used choice boards and meaningful reward options to build a district culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Another favorite @ISTELive @ISTE23 session by @ChristineMatash @TERRANCESHEPLER - conference.iste.org/2023/program/s… Loved the story of how the tech coaches at @Susquenita, PA used choice boards and other techniques to inspire teacher tech adoption.
