Just had a conversation that left me reflecting on why I gravitate towards books with depressing & challenging topics / characters often marginalized in our society. Found this article that helped me process my own motivations & perspective. Good read. google.com/amp/s/m.huffpo…

Check it out - you can get those students reading, writing, thinking and discussing every day...and let Pear Deck Learning and Newsela do the design work for you! I am also seeing major Quad D moment potential and it’s super easy to make your own tweaks, too 👍 #BirdvilleLearns

Did you miss this session? You can still get some ideas for using Pear Deck, Flipgrid and even just some simple analog tweaks to make Quad D moments happen every day in your classroom! #BirdvilleLearns #EmpowerEd19

So inspired by these two passionate teachers who worked together to help their students cross contents and grade levels to make authentic academic, social and emotional learning happen in one cohesive unit! #BirdvilleLearns #EmpowerEd19

When you see one of your former students at a professional learning conference and find out she’s on her way to becoming a teacher now...happy tears and so much joy flows!! #BirdvilleLearns #EmpowerED19

Birdville 5th grade teachers (superheroes, really) reflecting on their PLC processes to continuously improve their focus on learning, results & collaboration so that they have the biggest impact possible on our kids! Honored to be in their presence today #BirdvilleLearns

Lots of learning & collaboration happening today as Birdville hosts Learning Forward North Texas LearningForwardTexas We are excited and honored to learn with all of you! #BirdvilleLearns

My take-away from today is that the best learning happens when people can reflect and discuss together - works for us adults and kids, too!!! #LFNTX #BirdvilleLearns LearningForwardTexas

There is joy in the journey when we can share and learn together. Thank you to all teachers, coaches, coordinators, and principals who were true Leaders of Learners the past two days! #BirdvilleLearns #BISDshines
