New Twitter vs. Old Twitter...ridiculous television...and remembering that we are all in this thing together.
Somedays you get to see true passion in education. Today was that day in Fall Creek. Passion projects can go beyond the students in the building. Everyone is passionate about something...help the adults in your space find it. Go Crickets.
It is the end of the year, people! Be mindful of the conversations and make sure your group walks away feeling great about the professional work they have done. Lucky to live in Fall Creek...where our people continue to CRUSH IT!!!!!
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..." To all those who work with kids...to all who are IN THE ARENA...to all those willing to dare greatly...this one is for you. #hackingleadership
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to show your parents your first job offer as a teacher? How about your spouse or kids? Creating a moment is a great way to make people feel like they already belong to your organization...let's talk about how we do it. Here we go!!!!!!! #hackingleadership
Every interaction counts. How can we tap into things that advertisers do leading up to the Superbowl to connect with our communities.
We had an incredible benefit for one of our staff members in Fall Creek and the story needed to be captured. Amazing community.
The 7th grade MS team in Fall Creek WI decided that stepping out of their comfort zone wasn't enough...they thought jumping completely outside of it was the way to go! Great story from an incredible group of teachers...happy to have them in Fall Creek. #gocrickets
The second grade team from Fall Creek, WI will be part of our Model Schools presentation in Nashville this summer. The Fall Creek School District was named an Innovative District by ICLE in 2016 and 2017. The second grade team and their students connected with a local zoo...fantastic story!!! #gocrickets
Fantastic event in Fall Creek today as the Senior Walk made it's second appearance on campus. Incredible opportunity to connect kids and teachers. Wow...what a day!!! #gocrickets
So proud of these two FC teachers for their approach to co-teaching. Relationships first...always. Fantastic work. Enjoy!!
Culture changes in 30 second increments. Be intentional...someone is always watching.
Jason Silva's Responsibility to Awe video is fantastic. It speaks to the idea of mental models and the fact that many live in comfort zones and rarely venture outside of them. One of the things we think is important about the video is a story that is not being told...awe is happen all around us. We can't mandate a time or place, it is person specific, and we never know what it is that brings people to that place of inspiration. What we CAN do is to provide an environment where stepping out of comfort zones is not only valued, but encouraged.
A trip to Canada got me to thinking about Allie and what the world will have in store for her as she grows up. Thanks to the TLDSB crew for a fantastic experience!!
Looking forward to spending time with people at CESA 4!!!
