Beautiful! “As educators, we must be mindful of not just how we teach students, but how we approach them, how we talk to them, and how we convey our academic expectations for each of them.” 💛 “Why Teachers Must Fight Their Own Implicit Biases” edweek.org/tm/articles/20…

Could not imagine two more gracious & supportive visionaries for the CUE board! So excited for you @LisaTeachesTech & @bribriggs congratulations 🎈 #merit17
andtheniwaslike.co/-URKGw new programs from MERIT at KCI #merit17
Ending thoughts: reading a great deal about vulnerability & courage by Brene Brown lately. Also, The Power of Moments by the Heaths. All these concepts are incredibly interconnected. #dtk12chat
A5: The focus on human values. Honoring the insight & expertise in each other. DT elevates respect & change agents to meet authentic needs in communities #dtk12chat
A4: I appreciate the sense of belonging designers develop when working through a DT process together, especially in the classroom. Creating catalyst identities! #dtk12chat
A3: I think about relationships to power in collaboration more often #dtk12chat
A2: Our homerooms did a school-wide rollercoaster/amusement park DT challenge. I was new to the school so it was interesting & it took me a while to understand the process & purpose. #dtk12chat
A1: My friend & colleague Melissa Mizel was doing incredible work in her classroom from her learning at the dschool. She’s now a leader at dtech #dtk12chat
Hi #dtk12chat sorry for the late start! My name is Laura & I’m an 8th grade Humanities teacher in the Bay Area.
Marigolds are the perfect partner plant & create an ideal climate for healthy growth. Thankful for all the incredible marigold teachers, mentors, students & families in my life. #merit17 ift.tt/2p5yCTE

Cutest. Pineapple. Chart. EVER!!!!
Cutest. Pineapple. Chart. EVER!!!!
A4: I try to reread parts of this book occasionally & keep it visible so I can point and say “Oh, I’m working on essentialism.” Then I seem scholarly & mindful 😉 #dtk12chat
A3: I ask for help & partner up with new initiatives. Teaming helps reflect through the new processes & if any experts are available I’m first to sign up for their insight #dtk12chat
A2: I did a climate survey Monday. I think my Ss could use more encouragement around specific achievements they overlook & time to acknowledge and name how they have grown academically, in community & in growth mindsets #dtk12chat
A1: Long guitar sessions. I double checked my life view & workview alignment this summer helped me feel on track even when questioning pathways #designingyourlife #dkt12chat
Hi Jessica! My name is Laura & I teach 8th grade in the Bay Area. My favorite stress reliever is packing the boys in the car after work and getting to the beach for sunset, or sunset on my parents back porch in the mtns #dtk12chat
It’s a square! My early attempts at coding & robotics! Thank you @ucdcstem #stem18 #merit17 #roboblockly @linkbots
