This is EXACTLY the sentiment I needed to read this morning. A new week is starting up and the opportunity to create “what’s never been before” continues!

Get fully involved in whatever you're doing and find ways to make yourself more invested. Then, make sure you’re choosing activities and ways to spend your time that can fully engage you. Pick worthwhile things to do that make time go away, as opposed to “passing the time.”

Brilliant to hear about the experiences of classroom teachers when observing research lessons. @AkihikoTa @WALessonStudy @SELeakey @DrDudley13

There are quick paths to seeming rewards in most areas of life. But those rewards are only "seeming" as the results do not last.

Self-confidence and belief in yourself comes from accepting flaws and mistakes and realizing that you can move forward, grow past them, and learn from them.

That may sound counterintuitive, but when you can understand your fears, you are free to reject them. This freedom leads to the freedom to take new steps to new paths of success. When you don't know your fears, they remain in charge of your life.

This is the ideal…teachers teaching each other. It’s hard to beat the relevance provided when your leader of learning is also doing the same work!

I so enjoyed facilitating strong voice, routines & procedures, and first day/first week with our @ArlingtonISD 1st & 2nd grade new teachers! Check out their lego glasses! #relationships @ElemFitzgerald

Some morning highlights from our last #InquiryInstitute, where program faculty in our Common Indicators System (CIS) Network gather around the science and practice of data use in #edprep ⬇️

If you wait until you feel ready to take on a new challenge, you might never pursue it at all. Few people wake up suddenly feeling prepared to lead or create. They become prepared by taking the leap anyway. Our greatest regrets are not our failures, but our failures to try.

So many laughs this morning as we got this school year started with our own Fitzgerald Amazing Race! #FitzFam

What do teachers say during lesson studies? Hear from #WALS2022 key note speaker(s) Stéphane Clivaz, Stéphane Clivaz and……. Stéphane Clivaz in the brilliant introductory clip.

Yes! Lesson study is the best form of professional learning there is!

Through me course wide rivers and in me rise tall mountains. And beyond the thickets of my agitation and confusion there stretch the wide plains of my peace and surrender. All landscapes are within me. And there is room for everything. ETTY HILLESUM

It’s time to dig up that potential! Invest in it! It’s better to fail than go our entire lives with untapped potential. #potential #mentalhealth

What makes a very tough year like this one bearable? A great principal who is not only caring, but has a fantastic sense of humor! Thanks for our mugs! @cindybrown
