Finishing my our first EDD semester San José State University . In 5 short weeks these people have become my friends and family - and we haven't even met! Couldn't ask for a greater cohort of social justice minded educators to be with… instagram.com/p/CCbpHinDG2K/…

These ladies rock my world. 🥰 instagram.com/p/CCcYLREDloai…

Getting ready to kick off the school year. In a bad situation, let's have fun! instagram.com/p/CDRatroDFZn/…

Kicking off the school year. Let's have some fun. Make them want to come back for more. Even if it is on a computer screen for the time being. 💞 #advancingOGSD #IndigoInspires Indigo Program Iván Chaidez Oak Grove S.D.

I mailed it in, and today I made sure my vote counts in Santa Clara County! #IVoted #MyVoteCounts SCC Registrar of Voters eservices.sccgov.org/ROV/IVoted.html

A2. I want to re-find balance in 2021. #MakeEdReal

A3 I plan to sleep, get some exercise, and just soak up every moment with my kiddos. They want to make gingerbread houses. I'm not excited about it, but I'll get there for them! 🤣 #MakeEdReal

Good Evening, I'm Genvieve, Principal from California.. #MakeEdReal

A1: Engagement looks like kids participating in breakout rooms, in the chat, doing work asynchronously, and showing up. Give them a chance to talk with each other, make stuff with each other, and have fun. #MakeEdReal

A2 I'm just trying to figure out how best to use my gifts and skill in this setting. I've really been focusing on listening to the experience of the teachers and students so that I may be responsive to their needs. I've been working on supporting and encouraging . #MakeEdReal

A3 - Virtual Recesses, Teachers do Fun Friday, breakout rooms just to chat and get to know each other, N U P U R (She/her) does games with her kids every Friday. We send home materials to still do hands-on building projects. My daughter says she loves Flocabulary. #MakeEdReal

A3.2 I also had fun with hosting a student led assembly for MLKJr. Day. I got such great feedback from teachers and students. Students miss each other - any way we can create spaces for them to interact gets them coming back. #MakeEdReal

Mr. Moreno is the absolute best! Indigo Program

Phenomenal chat today with Oak Grove S.D. leaders and BLAST0FF™ ! #advancingOGSD
