Bruce Dickson out there somewhere... :)
Just absolutely unreal seeing this level of greatness from each of the last 7 decades on the ice here at Magness. Nothing but chills right now.

Thanks @StaffordBrizard for the shout-out, and more importantly for championing the idea that we all, kids and adults alike, need support in our continual human development. :)

When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it.
This is our mood today.
When one of us needs us: We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other.
I love the soccer. I love women.

This is exciting. It's nice to be in a place where ignorance about charter schools isn't the problem. I'm looking forward to seeing my people.

On September 5th, Nashville P.R.O.P.E.L hosted an at large mixer and mayoral candidate forum on education. Our goal was to create a space where authentic parents could address issues surrounding the education crisis, ask real questions, and demand change!

"If you learn to lean into discomfort and learn to accept that being uncomfortable is an essential part of growth and #learning, you are going to be really primed to learn," said @rtodddickson @EdSurge ow.ly/VxK950vN0jP #edchat #SEL

This was our best year ever in terms of trajectory changing results. I am most proud of how consistently strong results were - class after class, grade level after grade level. Great job team Valor :)

You maybe already saw this.
Tennis player Mahut losing at Roland Garros in front of his family, breaks down in tears.
His kid runs on court to hug him.
His opponent Mayer getting emotional.

Really interesting to see the demographic differences between these 3 public @MetroSchools options:
-Magnet low income is only 9%, ELL is only 2%, SWD is only 3% !
-Charter low income, minority, ELL numbers are all higher than zoned. SWD is 2 ppts lower.

2/3rds of voters place high priority on providing public school options that include access to public #charterschools, magnets, and career academies. Still, there were differences in prioritization by race/ethnicity w/ Black/White gap at 25 % points. #NationalCharterSchoolsWeek

It's nice to wake up to a day where the breaking news is that scientists have captured the first image of a black hole. Let us pause to rejoice in the creativity, determination, hard work, and collaborations of those who extend the frontiers of human knowledge. Yay science!

Priscilla Chan discussed new approaches & models in education that stem from #collaboration. She mentioned @valorcollegiate, who value social & emotional development as much as academics: "think that's too touchy-feely? They rank in top 5% schools in Tennessee" #ASUGSV2019
