Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear.
The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration.
All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.

Hold on to the hopes you have for your readers- empathy, connection, perspective, access- when getting into the science of reading. #freeportlearns #osdgoread #shiftingthebalance #katiecunningham

Grateful to @GCUFSD for hosting the LI Coaching Collaborative! We gleaned coaching insights from districts across the island who came together to share ideas. The Learning Commons in the Middle School created a truly amazing environment where collaboration & creativity thrived!

It’s the volume of writing that matters. Lots of bad writing has to happen before good writing happens. - Kelly Gallagher #freeportreads
