Thanks Megan Aultz for including me! What an awesome game! Go warriors!

Kindergarten is not my thing. But I loved every second I got to spend with Emma Bona M.Ed in her classroom today! She has created a culture of true learning in her classroom and I am so proud of her!! Cohort 1, who can I visit next?! #mathdoesntsuck #paratoteacher

So proud of Para To Teacher student Brooke Sperry. Brooke’s first art show opened tonight at the Split gallery in Omaha. Thanks for the invite! #talented #artist #midlandu

“How do you know...” instead of “How many?” This is how you create a culture of learning vs a culture of right answers!! #therightquestion #midlandteacher Midland University - Walker School of Education

School shouldn’t be something that happens to kids. It should be something they get to actively participate in. We had a great discussion about what kids hate about school.... guess who has the power to change those things?! Teachers! #doschooldifferent

So so proud of this cohort!! You guys are awesome!! 🧡💙🧡💙#warriorteachers

Observation: The more that someone emphasizes the need to “prepare kids for the real world,” the less likely it is that he or she will focus on preparing kids to improve that world

Want to tackle structural racism? We must start with education! Some uncomfortable questions: Who has access to the most successful teachers? Whose social and emotional needs get met? Who has access to a rigorous curriculum? Who gets the length of school day & year they need?

Being rigorous does not mean giving ridiculous amounts of work.

LEADERS!!! Are we EMBEDDING SUPPORT into the system or REACTING to every situation? WHEN WE WAIT to support people until they are at the breaking point THEY CAN NEVER TRULY BE THEIR BEST. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership

Never been a true fan of "I-Can" statements. Been playing around with "Can-I" questions. I can organize my writing. Can I organize my writing? Semantics? Maybe. But I think there's something to opening ownership w/the question. It feels like a more authentic place to begin.

Crosby and I are reading Hatchet aloud together each night. A book my dad read aloud to me when I was his age. All. The. Feels.

“You look pretty old but also like you know what you’re doing.” This was Monday from a first grader…. still making me laugh.

Most ed. reforms are mostly just about making kids work harder: tougher standards! more rigor! raise the bar! Yet Dewey reminded us that the value of what students do “resides in its connection with a stimulation of greater *thoughtfulness*, not in the greater strain it imposes."
