@JonGordon11 Our school just read your book last semester and we fell in love with your message. I’d be happy to copilot your bus in a few week. Sincerely, a hungry and motivated Principal!
Agreed and this is why our EL curriculum is a major/ positive shift for Harper! #BuildKnowledge #CreateExperts
Still a problem! “Most elementary schools aren’t teaching kids much content anyway. Instead, they read one-off articles about a topic that allow kids to practice the “skills” of reading comprehension.” @jtbknva kqed.org/mindshift/5445…
I’ve failed many times in my life and career and because of this I’ve learned a lot. Instead of feeling defeated countless times, I’ve used it as fuel to drive me to work harder. So today, join me in accepting our failures. Let’s use them to motivate us to work even harder.
A good thread
In his final Amazon shareholder letter, Jeff Bezos shared a powerful mental model on maintaining your distinctiveness. A thread on the fight against normalcy (in your career, startup, writing, or life):
Let’s go!
For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.
100%
As a white man, I can’t tell you how happy I am that we don’t have 2 white men at the top of our ticket. Diversity will always make us smarter, stronger and more empathetic.
@Kazembe enjoying your work, your passion, and the knowledge shared in the Equity Institute. Looking forward to the journey with you and the team.
Agreed! Big Shout-out to our Teachers /Staff, Building Leaders, and Support Teams! #GreatPeopleMatter
To our students, staff, teachers, administrators, and the entire community - thank you. We appreciate your support as we navigate this situation. We will continue to update you on social media and our website (evscschools.com/COVID19). Have a great weekend, and stay well!

Kudos to Coco’s parents for raising a great kid and also for showing how to behave as parents when your kids are playing sports. Just be happy and supportive and calm - this isn’t hard.
‘Comprehensibility and “learnabilty” are different concepts, at least when it comes to reading in Grades 2 and up.’ @ReadingShanahan on the best ways to utilize complex text with early readers. Excellent #SummerLiteracyPD! #ilachat #satchat #tlap #kinderchat #1stchat
Should we teach with complex text in kindergarten and first-grade? shanahanonliteracy.com/blog/complex-t…
Love this. Great job Coach.
“We want to provide as many opportunities for kids across America as we can.” Michigan baseball coach Erik Bakich looks to assemble a diverse roster when recruiting and awarding scholarships. #CWS | @umichbaseball
Now this is very interesting, and I don't think at all obvious. Reading challenging texts aloud, and at a fast pace, improved the reading comprehension of all students, but for the lowest achievers, the gains were almost twice as great: bit.ly/2XUMfp0.
Exciting afternoon presenting to an amazing group of educators at the @Learn_Sci #BuildingExpertise conference w/ @ValleyMac81 @EVSC1
Wow! Great insight from @ErOrange on how the “Human Experience” will evolve in the future. “Future-proof yourself” #BuildingExpertise
This is just great. Read this thread if you have time. Happy Summer!
