We are having a blast helping educators uncover hidden potential through CogAT data. Watching teachers discover the cognitive strengths and talent for all is empowering. Our SOS System is a game changer! @1BillionLives @CCSDConnects

Novices seek praise. Recognizing strengths builds confidence to keep going. Experts crave criticism. Seeing shortcomings reveals avenues to keep growing. Preferring corrections to compliments is a sign of skill. The better you get, the more determined you become to get better.

Being a lifelong learner isn’t about taking pride in your knowledge. It's about having the humility to know what you don’t know. My top 23 insights from 2023 🧵

Tend the garden…
Talent doesn't always express itself immediately. For some people their talent is being a high responder to training. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gifts. We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.

Working with SC educators is always a great experience! The "find the special child" model is often used but ultimately creates more problems than it solves. Better to be inclusive and provide a range of advanced services for a bigger group of talented students.

So proud of our high schools who have increased their focus on access & equity to rigorous coursework through the use of the AP Potential tool. Students should consider AP courses in their unique area/s of strength and interest for optimal success. 👊
CCSD is proud to announce that 5 schools are listed on the 2023 AP® School Honor Roll due to a high number of students taking exams and performing at a high level on AP tests. SOA, @wandohigh, Academic Magnet, @beckhambengals, @CCSMS2day

Field trip day for my third grade crew! Students studied trees and how biotic factors interact with each other in the forest! It was such a beautiful day to be learning outside! 🩷
