So many districts and some states making moves right now to focus on paths to learning that develop lifelearning competencies and deep important knowledge vs superficial, temporal test-only learning. Learning can be challenging, accessible, and interesting. Mi, Nv, Ky are a few of those on the move.

Lindsey Graham’s had decades to fix healthcare. Instead, he tried to repeal it. I’ll protect it, expand it, and make sure no one in South Carolina has to go without it.

What defines a #BlueSky #EduSky moment for you? For me in schools, it’s the bonds we build with learners and each other … the DNA of learning begins with connection, community, care… these allow learners to flourish when faced with challenge, rigor, complexity in their work 1/2

1/2 Over many years in education, I’ve seen a lot of effective and very ineffective uses of technology in learning- desks, paper, textbooks, calculators, blackboards,whiteboards, smart boards, apple2e’s to chrome books, mobile devices of all kinds. What makes a difference? Teacher expertise. #EduSky

Feedback may be the most essential part of the learning process. Too often, we aren't giving effective, meaningful feedback to students who cannot understand &, more importantly, use it to improve learning. How can we make our feedback meaningful and strategic for learners? youtu.be/qdfANm46g_0?...
