@ReasonerCynthia Think once educators see value they are on board, so agree with reinforcing/letting grow organically #txeduchat

Ultimately there has to be sOme intrinsic motivation. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. #InnovatorsMindset #txeduchat

A7: Modeling may not be enough - show the power of the change and repeatedly ask how the shift is better supporting Ss #TxEduChat

Texanpiaget Mar 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

#TxEduChat Q7 My aha moment is how today we had lively discussions of opposing povs, and we were all able to learn from them. 👍🏽
