Shubert is a legend, and I’m glad Gabby was able to share one of his stories with the families of Sally Ride tonight!

Haha how smooth was that last part?! Glad you were able to capture that on video 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hello, Everyone! I'm Justin MacDonald from the Professional Learning Department, and I'm feeling ready to grow from reading some great tweets about feedback! #ocpschats buff.ly/37Ui7hY

In my last year as a classroom teacher, I had the opportunity to receive feedback from coaches and administrators from STO. Their feedback on my use of instructional strategies helped me to improve as an educator and improved student achievement. #ocpschats

Feedback is definitely a motivating force for students. It lets them know that another set of eyes will be reviewing their work, and helps them to focus on growth and potential, rather than success or failure on their first attempt at a task. #ocpschats

In my new role, I've been very fortunate to receive feedback regularly. The feedback has helped me to improve my facilitation of professional learning. I plan on remaining committed to continuously improving my practice through the implementation of feedback I receive. #ocpschats

What an amazing way to start the day! Huge thank you to all of the coaches and aspiring coaches who joined Claire Shames Steele and I this morning for our inaugural Coffee with Coaches! So many great ideas shared in such a short time. Can’t wait to do it again next week!

What a great way to start my morning! Fresh coffee and fresh ideas from my peers. Can Coffee with the Coaches continue as part of our “new normal”? Claire Shames Steele Justin MacDonald #ocps

One of my favorite parts of working with the Great Beginnings facilitators this week has been getting to know each of them through their introduction posts. Had to wear these socks for our final day in honor of one of our facilitators who says she is a "proud usf alum" 😉

It's OCPS Professional Learning Department Pink Out Day! We wear pink for #BreastCancerAwareness and to recognize & support those who have been impacted by breast cancer. 💗

Haven’t tweeted in so long, but with tonight being the night we celebrate the 5th cohort of the OCPS/UF Advanced Coaching Academy, I figured I’d find some throwback pics from our showcase of learning - May 3, 2018. Congrats to all of our newly certified Lastinger coaches!

A huge thank you to these amazing ACA facilitators who guided us through this journey! #CohortAAlltheWay Kimberly Jacobson Justin MacDonald Jessica Scully
