We hosted Montessori guides at Asbury Park today - They got to choose 10-20 books for their classroom libraries, a couple of PD books for summer reading, enjoyed light refreshments, and gathered ideas for next year’s Peace Education lessons. @Detroitk12 @DPSCDCurriculum

I just picked up one of these books for my toddler to see LGBTQ characters in a children's book. Check out this great list of books and movies from @learnforjustice to include more LGBTQ representation in your school or classroom: learningforjustice.org/sites… #PrideMonth

What if we used the Austin’s Butterfly approach to continually improve our thinking? This is the focus of @AdamMGrant 's terrific new book. Thanks to Adam for celebrating the mindset of my students and @ELeducation in his book.

Sometimes kids come to school to learn.
Sometimes kids come to school to be loved.
Many times kids come to school for both.
