The networking conversations from leaders around the country at #rtmk12 this week have been amazing. Hearing all the great work happening from Washoe Co, Nevada, LA Unified, Waco ISD, and beyond has me thinking about our next steps in OKCPS.

P-Tech! A new piece of vocabulary that I’ve learned at #rtmk12 this week.

Meeting with Nearpod today at #rtmk12 has me excited to explore its capabilities to enhance our professional learning engagements.

Grateful to hear the message of Supt. Dr. Susan Enfield at #rtmk12 as she shares her wisdom around leadership.

Excited for a great couple of days of learning with #TeamOKCPS at #rtmk12 in Hollywood!

When @jsynbrown drops some inspiration on a crowd of about 5k @OKCPS #Believe! What a way to kick off 19-20. – at Oklahoma City, OK

Thank you @docspeaks for the wisdom, knowledge, inspiration, humor, and real talk with the good folks of F.D. Moon Middle yesterday. We are better today than we were yesterday! – at Oklahoma City, OK

A7b- I also have concerns around the bias of entrance exams and T recommendations for many programs. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A7- I think all courses should use sound pedagogy. I lean heavily towards allowing anyone that wants to join advanced coursework to do so. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A6- Understanding how people learn is complex and largely misunderstood by many educators. So we should all be “rigorously” digging into that. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A4- Teachable moments often present themselves when Ss are operating in the metacognitive. That’s where the learning really happens. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A3- building conceptual frameworks and acquiring deep learning looks different for learners. So yes. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A2 - Rigor is not simply more work, homework, restriction, inflexibility, etc... #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A1- Rigor is intentionally creating moments of cognitive dissonance within lessons. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A4: I like the potential that problem solving STEM lessons have to create cognitive dissonance within Ss. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

A1-Monitoring the off task use of tech in the classroom as well as the hidden mass comms by Ss is a challenge for school staff. #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

Jason Galloway. Instructional Leadership Director at OKCPS. Just took a little guy’s trip to the mountains of Colorado. Good times! #oklaed – at Oklahoma City, OK

Poolside reading! I’ve had the pleasure of hearing @brewerhm speak before. The beginning pages are powerful. Thanks @lmlegacy for the gift! – at Oklahoma City, OK
