Purpose Built Schools Invests in STEM Cohort; 12 Teachers in Inaugural Group purposebuiltschoolsatlanta.org/purpose-built-… #PBC

This week I was reminded that the journey towards our biggest dreams and visions is not always easy. It often requires assembling a team of people who can see what others cannot - those who are willing to trust the process and work together, even in the face of opposition.

STEAM in Every Classroom? Yes, please! 🙌 No matter what you teach—you can bring STEAM to life with these 3 easy strategies: 🔍 Real-World Problems = Authentic learning 🛠️ Design Thinking = Student innovation 💻 Technology = Creative expression 💡 #UnboxedLearning

🎨 STEAM is more than projects—it is culture in action. When students see their identities in learning, creativity soars and voices rise. 🔥 #STEAM + #Culture = engagement that sticks. #StudentVoice #UnboxedLearning #EdLeadership #TheUnboxedEducator

The hidden cost of ignoring school culture? 👉 Burnout.👉 Resistance.👉 Disengagement. 👉 High turnover. Leaders who overlook culture miss the opportunity to empower every voice. 💡 Culture is the foundation. Without it, everything else cracks. #SchoolCulture #UnboxedLearning

🌞✨ Stay encouraged this summer! Focus on YOU — not just the work. The work will be there. 💪 #SelfCareForEducators #TeacherLife #SummerBreak #TheUnboxedEducator

STEAM isn’t a program you add — it’s a mindset you build. Less glitter. More inquiry. Less compliance. More collaboration. Less “fun Friday.” More everyday curiosity. Build it right. Make it last. #STEAMed #EdLeadership #UnboxedLearning #PBL #CultureShift

PD ≠ compliance. PD = connection. Leaders: stop checking boxes. Start coaching. Culture changes when we move from appeasing teachers 📷 supporting them with accountability + trust. #EdLeadership #SchoolCulture #PDThatMatters #UnboxedLearning
