Imagine that one day, you chose to live as if you were the teammate of every person you have ever met and will ever meet. How might it change how you live from that day forward? #makethatdaytoday

love Dr. Laurie McCullough & her coaching approach - “we remember what we agree with -ramp up your listening zone for what you don’t agree with,what challenges your beliefs because that’s often what is most important to the other person-develop a listening routine!” @scl_va today

couldn’t be more thrilled than to see #VaLIN 5.0 cohort launch this week “Va Leads Innovation Network” hosted by @vsucoe Thank you! @Walterw06

Welcome Fredericksburg City Public Schools! #VaLIN #Seeking solutions for ALL students! @TMattTerry @lorimcewen @pammoran @dramygriffin @Amos_ALP

Cohort 4.0 is in the books but remember once you are in the network you are always in the network! #valin @scl_va @VA_Partners4Edu @ALPlearn @NVportrait @UKyNextGen

@tborash Shout casting with @TerpsEsports If you don’t have an esports program, you are leaving out so many kids who not only can play but can contribute and develop skills that they can take with them into whatever they choose next. @ALPlearn @DellTech @RocketLeague

Thank you @TerpsEsports for my 1st shoutcasting experience at the #DellEsportsSummit! (Tried to be as impartial as possible, but I was secretly cheering on @jongregori and Team Red.) Live stream: m.twitch.tv/videos/185131497…

Thanks @x2chucks for helping us in the K-12 realm better understand the esports ecosystem during today’s #DellEsportsSummit. You may have made a few new fans of @WizardsDG @capsgaming and @TeamLiquid from here in the DMV - stoked to visit District E soon!

I asked a group of former cohort members what we, as a university, could have done better to prepare students for the being a teacher. One student's answer stuck with me. "I wasn't ready for the loneliness. As a cohort, we were a community. You played a small role but it was us as a leader but, sorry, John, it was us. We were tight. Then you enter the field and you're on your own. I just wish I worked at a place where we ate together and planned together and had a couple of drinks together on Friday night like we did as as a cohort. I miss that so much." I'm not sure how you define PLC but it's not "a group of people who analyze data together." It's what she was describing. It's a community that talks shop on a Friday afternoon after work.

What a joyful & exciting end to the #CarnegieSummit2023 as we take @CONTRA_TIEMPO words to heart: #YouandIBecomeUs. Joy & gratitude to all who came, shared, and helped us realize we are #bettertogether as we improve & transform education for EVERYone. #safetravels

So appreciative for #VaLIN team members Lisa Chen, Michael Bolling, and Yardley Farquharson joining the @CarnegieFdn Summit to share their stories about the impact of the network on advancing the Profile of the VA Graduate in their divisions.

Inspired by this mash-up of sticky note personal response, affinity mapping, and graphic recording modeled by @visualrecorder here at @CarnegieFdn Summit! Building it as she goes.

“You are here, and I am grateful.” I don’t know who needs to hear this today, and wanted to appreciate the members of WREN for sharing it at @CarnegieFdn Summit today.

The depth of reflection and intentionality around both school-based and division-wide challenges is infectious. Grateful for @NNPSLeads partnership in this design process, @ALPlearn collaborators Julie Foss and @Tinkhani, and @tara_nattrass @DellTech for the opportunity to serve.

Inspiration can be used as a catalyst to bring communiteis together around a shared learning experience. President of ALP, Amos Fodchuk shares about our Inspire services in this short video. youtu.be/FQM4NtVUMJw #ALPLearn #keynote #discovery #leadershipconsulting #learning
