Allow all teachers to know their voice and opinions are valid. Let them share what they love about education. #ksedchat

Sorry to rush the questions tonight, but we're running out of time. I'll leave you with this. Goodnight everyone. #ksedchat

Yes! Too often PD can become a "have to-do list". Change it up and make it more encouraging so the lists are "I want to do." #ksedchat

A7: #Ecet2Ks did a great job of reminding me why I love teaching. Lets do this with PD days in our schools & districts! #ksedchat
