Big thanks to @JennBinis whose expert editorial eyes served my colleagues and me well throughout this process. We learned much about using discussion boards in uncommon and far more human ways, and we're grateful to have survived peer review! Coming soon: igi-global.com/book/incorpora…
Question for anyone who works with #schoolimprovement or #ProfessionalLearning what resources would make these processes feel more authentic and less forced/check the box? What is needed for improvement/enhancement planning in schools today? @LearningForward
Confession. Assessment is my least favorite part of education. Even in its more progressive forms. It feels bureaucratic. Spreadsheets. Evidence trackers. Standards. @AngelaStockman’s book though? It’s something very different & deeply human. It’s TRULY rethinking assessment.
I was channeling @MrAleoSays @JulieHStern @MrsKaylaDuncan and Jess Vance in Assessment Methods in Ed this morning. Connection circles. Fabulous tool for facilitating and deepening transfer. First use w/Ss instead of Ts. thesystemsthinker.com/learning-about…
I'm very grateful to all of you who boosted my new book this week--especially since I haven't been the most present human on social media this year. If you or someone you know purchased it or will soon, lemme know. I have a thank you gift. :) amazon.com/dp/1032366311?…
It’s our final PL day for #ForsythHPE! HUGE thank you to @NetballUSA & Lauren w/Northside Sports Medicine for teaching us about strategizing & communication via netball & nutrition for athletes. Our teams ended w/a SWOT analysis to help reflect & set our intentions for 24-25.
It was a great day 1 with the @FCSchoolsGA MS PE Advisory team! We set our vision, discussed our collective goals, & began the process of identifying transferable skills & concepts by bundling complementary standards.I ❤️ the hands on nature of our process. @FCSTandL #forsythhpe
How do my formative assessment practices impact students efficacy and ability to predict their performance? Day 2 w/ our Impact Team! We’ve embraced curiosity and a “yes, and” mindset as we explore our data & reflect on practice. #forsythpln #assessment #SafeConnectedThriving
We understand things better when we draw them, research shows. Find out why drawing things can lead to incredible learning gains—even in students who insist they're not artists. 🎨👇 edut.to/3Rk9vK5
Join me Thursday evening as we share how students are running our middle school library @DeSanaMiddle 😍. How it worked last year, changes we made, what was good … and not so good. From set up to summer retreat to day-to-day. Student feedback too! #schoollibraries @glma webinar
📊 Assessment is necessary for good teaching. #Grading is not. Dialoguing with, listening to, and observing #students are often our best #assessment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
🎯 If a #student is having trouble with an assignment, the goal isn't to get through the assignment. The goal is to improve the skill that is giving them difficulty with the assignment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

We can learn so much about the culture of a learning community by analyzing images taken there. These were taken during my Studio sessions from 2008-2015 (I have consent to share). I see so much now that I wasn't even looking for then. These young writers are still my teachers.
My book, ‘Teaching One-Pagers: Evidence-Informed Summaries for Busy Educational Professionals’ is out via @JohnCattEd in a few weeks. It contains over 55 summaries that do ALL of the above. ☝️ This poster explains what’s inside.
👇 Since introducing these one-pagers in my school in 2022, I’ve seen teachers’ engagement with evidence informed ideas sky-rocket. Like in any school, our teachers are time-poor, so distilling important ideas into an easily digestible format offers a practical solution. Here…

@MrAleoSays What I appreciate about Freire is that he doesn't reduce learning to an us versus them approach. He sees each person as someone with something of value to share. This idea, that we can learn from each other, seems lost in many conversations about education.
Thrilled to see so much evidence of our @FCSchoolsGA strategic plan & K-5 math vision in action at @MattElementary, @SilverCityElem, @MidwayES, & @NewHopeES23. @GreatMindsEd may provide us with high-quality curriculum, but our dedicated teachers & coaches make all the difference!
@thedigitalyenta @deray Assuming that "easy" is more important than "comforting": 1/2 a bagged salad with pieces of smoked salmon or canned chicken and nuts or avocado. It's healthy, so I don't beat myself up. And it takes <5min with no clean-up.
I think this is one of the more important articles I've written recently.
"After 25 years working with organizations, I've realized schools often settle for nominal change. Some change may occur—but not the level of change an approach could produce.” @jimknight99 on how to make real change happen: ascd.org/el/articles/th…
Enjoyed today’s inaugural FCS Student Market. There were so many amazing items made by student entrepreneurs as well as talented musicians from the #CHouse performing. Thanks to Sarah Taylor and the team who organized this event along with the Cumming Civitan Club! @FCSchoolsGA
@SurthrivEDU @MrsKaylaDuncan Some great questions. I think it’s spot on to say we need to re-imagine things at a fundamental level, but everyone feels exhausted just holding on to the status quo. Sometimes I wonder we burned through all the energy, focus, & willpower required to shift just surviving COVID.
I am thankful for an admin at my school who called me as I was driving home to check on me due to walking out of the building in tears. We need more admin like her. I will be forever grateful for her kindness.
If this is the increasing belief—chronic absenteeism has doubled comparing pre-pandemic numbers to present—to what extent should we accept this reality and shift our priorities to getting families to “want” to send their kids to school instead of “expecting” it?
Reading an article on chronic absenteeism in schools since returning to the classroom after the pandemic, and this quote jumped out: “Our relationship with school became optional.” I think that sums up quite a bit.
Finally, for the past year, I’ve been learning about cognitive science & learning. It’s fascinating & has provided great insight. The more I’ve been learning, the more connections I see between cognitive science evidence & BTC. I hope to share what I’ve found very soon.
