Data isn't about the kids. Data doesn't define them. Data does act like a looking-glass into learning. The learning WE provided. Data results in questions. Questions about the learning we gave. Those questions lead to our work in how to make it better. That's all data is.

Replying to @JCPSKY
@JCPSKY proposes school start time changes. Why? - B/c 20,000 students miss school due to driver shortages - B/c that's 3 million lost instructional minutes - B/c continuing our current system means disenfranchising kids. Change is rarely easy; it is necessary. #JCPSStartSmart

Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Make Tier 1 the priority. Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working. Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers. It's the only way things change.

Academic outcomes will not change until INSTRUCTION changes. As a former instructional coach, I know for a fact that instruction dictates Ss achievement. Not poverty, not culture, not race, not dis/ability, not parent involvement, or any other factor. It's TIER 1 instruction!

Building strong relationships is not about arguing less. It's about arguing more constructively. The goal is not to reach consensus on all your opinions or share all your values. It's to understand each other's opinions and respect each other's values. link.chtbl.com/RTAdam

Such a wonderful day @WilkersonElem. First ever Multicultural Day was a big success. Thank you to all who helped make it happen! @JCPSSuper @CarolynCal_ @JCPSAsstSuptAIS
Today was multicultural day. The Ss rotated between 6 classrooms all representing a different country. They learned about the country then played games or created an artifact. It was amazing getting to work so closely w/ @teachallan @yesio12! #jcpsbackpack @JCPSDEP1

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.

Diversity is a fact. Equity is a choice. Inclusion is an action. Belonging is an outcome.

Quick de-escalation phrases for kids: You’re not in trouble. I want to hear your side. I’m not mad at you. What happened? How can I help you right now? Let’s talk about this.
