We’re busy learning at @ASCDconf Conference for Educational Leadership. What learning topics do you want to see for PL events in #Kansas?! KSedchat KS Dept of Education Tammy Martin Volora Hanzlicek #ASCDCEL

Before you go to bed celebrate your success of the day. Identify one great thing about your day; one great conversation, accomplishment, thing that made you smile, or win that made you proud. Focus on your success and you'll look forward to creating more success tomorrow!

Instead of complaining about what others are doing wrong, focus on what they are doing right. Praise them and watch as they create more success as a result. Of course, point out their mistakes so they can learn & grow, but make sure you give 3x as much praise as criticism.

These are the skills Kansans said that are important. These are skills that have to be intentionally embedded into our everyday instruction, role modeled and coached. Love learning from Randy Watson. He challenges, inspires, and educates every time. ♥️ #bexceptional

"Good teaching begins with forming relationships with kids." One teacher compares her experience between schools that prioritize teacher-student relationships differently. Atlanta Journal-Constitution #studentengagement #mentoring bit.ly/2UJAdjv

Proposal is to add money to FY 2020-21 budget. Chair Sen. Skubal suggests waiting on final decision for "omnibus" consideration, not sure of other budget needs. #ksleg #ksed #kasb

I appreciate the hard work of the Parsons High School Career Technical Education program in helping to provide face shields to a local hospital. I am proud of all of our Kansas communities rallying together to provide innovative solutions like this one. parsonssun.com/news/coronavir…

Governor Kelly reached out to school leaders today thanking all district and building leaders for all that they are doing for Kansas kids....and thanking the awesome teachers and support staff that are on the front line making education happen for Kansas kids! #BetterTogether

I'm so proud of Kansas teachers, administrators, students and families as we transitioned to Continuous Learning this week. This photo, taken a few days ago, in a Kansas neighborhood says it all. Thank you.

Round 3 Take away thoughts from #EdcampKS building relationships online: Can we start building relationships SOONER with kids even before we start the school year? Some non-tech mailings/phone calls/porch visits? What would that mean for teacher contracts?

In 1967, a young man started his career at the KSDE. Today, a young man announced his retirement, after 53 years. Dale Dennis has set the standard for being a public servant. I am proud to call him a friend and a colleague. Enjoy your retirement. You've earned it, Dale!

👏👏👏

I'm excited to be a part of an amazing Southwest Plains family! Stoked to serve the admins., teachers, and students of KS! #HereToServe #KansansCan x.com/drkellyfromks/…
