A very successful high school coach in our area used to tell younger coaches: “Don’t worry about winning games; win the kids. If you win the kids, the games will take care of themselves!” I love this quote... and I think the wisdom of it transcends sports.

Ready to learn at the California Induction Conference. Full house this year! #caindconference

One of my favorite mentors, @peterhreynolds. Lessons learned in Boston! SRVUSD K.S. Nicole Padoan Renee Angela Maiers - Keynote | Author | Change Maker #northstar

I am so fortunate to serve WCSD - a district where instructional coaching is a valued part of our learning culture.

@Franciscotubio Northgate High You got no chance when your MDUSD transport bus arrives over an hour late and you get 12 mins to warm up. May not have won but at least give the Northgate Broncos boys a chance. Onwards and upwards for nagasoccer. Last time I’ll ever rely on taking a bus.

TEACHERS:1000’s of you work in schools that have been canceled in the upcoming weeks. Make it UR goal to either call every kid & say hi or write them a letter, telling them what you appreciate about them, recognize the strengths they bring to your classroom! #Significant72

Yes! Yes! Yes! I just spoke to a group of teachers about this yesterday. Distance learning can not mean we abandon our beliefs about how kids learn best. Say no to worksheets and if you’re at school on Monday do these lessons to set up independent work!

It’s a great pleasure to announce that Sofia Padoan ‘21 has been selected by USA Lacrosse to the All-Academic First Team. Sofia is the 1st player in Northgate history to receive this honor. The program is so proud of you! Hard pays off! #oneteamonefamily Northgate Broncos Northgate High

Look how many of our brand NEW mentors also went through SRVTIP as a NEW teacher. So inspired by them...The best way to grow teacher leaders! SRVUSD #buildingcapacity

If our focus is solely on "engagement" in the classroom, we've created a culture where the student needs a teacher to learn. If we focus more on empowerment, the student gains ownership over their own learning, growth, and direction. #InnovatorsMindset

We used a Mentor Sentence from Home of the Brave again this week, and here are some of our collaborative imitations! #MentorSentences #D100pride Mrs. Horne @writeguyjeff Katherine Applegate (kaaauthor.bsky.social)

A school "doubled the amount of lunch and recess time its students get from 40 to 80 minutes a day, with felicitous results: lower absenteeism and fewer disciplinary problems. "

I'd give the kid 10/10 and fail the teacher on this one. #SpellCorrectlyNotSpellRight

It is pretty darn PRETENTIOUS to think your homework is quality family time. Not only is it NOT, it adds significant stress to families. It's also grossly inequitable. #ditchHW I have 5 kids and both Ps work. We just want to make family dinner happen and that can be a struggle.
