At #empower18, you'll find speakers, learning sessions, and activities centered on six areas of focus that support the whole child and help advance student achievement.
Great learning session today with @LuzSantana20! Thank you for a useful strategy to empower our families and make them partners in their child’s education. #Empower18
What's on your list for the last day of @ASCD#Empower18? After Gen Colin Powell, come to @2ndStepProgram booth #1921 for mini-sessions! 12:00: close the achievement gap with #SEL. 12:30: live demo of our new middle school program.
So glad to see my man @eddieknowsmoore at #Empower18 and proud of all the great work he is doing! Looking forward to working on some great projects with this brother! You have to get his book...it was selling like hot cakes at the conference! @ASCDconf
Two disappointment this weekend @ASCD @ #empower18:
1. I saw @drneilgupta from a distance at keynote. I wanted to say hi, but was trapped mid-row. I never got a second chance. :(
2. Not connecting f2f with @danieldmccabe: an admin I've met only once, but inspires me daily!!
If you ever need to remember why we teach and why our passion and joy needs to be there each day in the classroom read about Manny Scott or watch his YouTube clips. I am proud to be a teacher and want more and more each day to make a difference. #empower18#freedomwriters

Leadership is an artifact of the institution you serve. But, leadership maintains the status quo...it doesn’t move the needle. The thinking is the same. So—how do we change? #Empower18@Robyn_Mindsteps

@ManuelScott you were so remarkable yesterday at #Empower18! Thank you so much for your spirit and for all that you are doing for education and mankind!✨
Bosses focus on change. Leaders focus on improvement. Builders focus on transformation. Which do you want to be? #beabuilder. #Empower18@Robyn_Mindsteps
Attitude toward PBL is everything. Find a way. Make it happen.
One the greatest Take aways from #Empower18 is creating learning experiences that gives teachers time to spend with students while students are driven to explore purposeful projects.
Culturally responsive teaching is about INSTRUCTION. “Friends don’t let friends believe that multicultural or social justice education will get to CRT” - Zaretta Hammond @Ready4rigor@ASCDconf@ASCD#Empower18
Celebrate progress, but don’t stop until you reach the goal. Improvement is good, but reaching the goal is the ultimate. #empower18@ASCDconf@Robyn_Mindsteps
Build capacity of teachers. One year of poor instruction and a student can be resilient. Students experiencing two years of poor instruction have a huge challenge to ever recover. End up with environmentally caused learning difference @leeannjung#Empower18
“Jobs requiring social skills are growing. Jobs that can be automated where social skills are less important are being automated and going away.” - David Deming (qtd. by @alexiswiggins) #Empower18
Thanks for taking the time to chat with one of your fans @PrincipalKafele. Your books and sessions at @ASCDconf are so practical and a must read. Oh and I think you cut me in line to see @ManuelScott - #allGood#Empower18
Jobs that require social skills are booming, and those that don’t are have a high chance of disappearing. Work is becoming more like preschool, a place of collaboration, discovery, innovation. Great insight from @alexiswiggins. #Empower18
The myth of "more black men in prison than there are in college" *isn't* true - there are 600k MORE men of color in college than in prison - @RJMotivates#empower18
Glad to hear this, Kenny. It IS needed. I see it everywhere I travel. I implore educators to dig deep back to their why and to do something, or somethings, daily to remind them of it. #igniteyourSHINE#empower18

Day 3 at the @ASCDconf#Empower18 conference!
Starting my day with the session “Teachers Thinking Scientifically: Improving STEM Education through Training in the Nature of Science.
How would school be different if we only asked students to solve problems we don’t already have the answers to? Soft skills are key. #Empower18@alexiswiggins
Such a powerful video. Another example of student voice from the students in @ElisaBostwick class last year. Thank you for sharing it! #empower18#igniteyourSHINE

Leadership is helpful when people have a skill problem, when they need more skill. Leadership is not as helpful when people have a will problem, when they don’t have the will to change. #empower18@ASCDconf@Robyn_Mindsteps
Hearing Joe Dombrowski #embraceyourweird@ASCDconf share with educators early on a Monday morning several ways he uses to create a kind and caring culture in his classroom, moving beyond testing and curriculum. It’s all about relationships & being yourself with kids #Empower18
@alexiswiggins posed this question: “Why do we ask our kids questions that we already know the answer to?” It’s better to move towards inquiry learning so that student and teacher can learn together. Absolutely ❤️ this idea! #Empower18@ASCDconf@ASCD
#1 leadership mistake. You can't solve a WILL problem with a SKILL problem. You can’t solve a SKILL problem with a WILL problem. #Empower18@Robyn_Mindsteps

Students need support flexibly. All too often, supports are formally scheduled and time-bound. Different student needs and learning speeds prompt this flexibility. @leeannjung#Empower18
.@Dartmouth stopped awarding credit for their incoming AP students in some classes. Because 90% of incoming students who’d tested in with a passing score for AP psychology FAILED their Psych 101 final exam. #Empower18
“A teacher’s effectiveness is a result of both skill and their will...” We must remember both as we build transformative learning together. @Robyn_Mindsteps#empower18

@Ready4rigor on Culturally Responsive Teaching - Inequity by Design - system set up to develop dependent learners. CRT develops independent learners who can navigate through productive struggle. @ASCD#Empower18
I had such an amazing time at @ASCD#Empower18! But, I couldn’t help but think about educators who wanted to be there, but couldn’t due to finances.
There is a contest on my Instagram connected to this video that provides teachers with $500 to travel! Go nominate somebody!
Early session with Mrs. Maness, building up students as providing programs that encourage ALL students. “As school leaders we must provide different ways to encourage our children and allow them to believe in themselves again.”

There are not “spec ed kids” or “tier 3 kids,” all students belong to all of us. All students need some level of support to some degree at some time. Let’s stop categorizing and labeling kids. @leeannjung#Empower18#edchat

Session this morning with Brandon and Rhonda from @BIEpbl begins with thinking about the competency and skills of the ideal graduate in an evolving world. @ASCD#Empower18@U32library
Great question posed by @alexiswiggins, “What do we as educators do to teach & assess the skills the 🌎 wants?” It’s essential that our students ask high level questions, be good listeners, support their ideas, asses their own work. #Empower18@ASCDconf@ASCD
“We need to allow our students to show us where the bar is set... Let them show us how far they can be pushed and how far they can succeed” @MrDtimes3#Empower18
Powerful session: "Professional development/learning should impart information to the participants but the question is, how does your learning change your practice?" @TonyaWardSinger@ASCDconf#Empower18#ELExcellence
If a leader has a zone of incompetence then she can develop the skills they need or they can find someone to help fill the gap for them. The work has to get done. It often doesn’t matter who does it. #empower18@ASCDconf@Robyn_Mindsteps

Don’t spoon feed your students. Fight the urge and let the students discover the importance ideas on their own. If you have create a culture of inquiry, acceptance and collaboration, the kids will get there. @alexiswiggins#Empower18@ASCD@ASCDconf
Gen Z preservice teachers asked what they are looking for in a job: comfort, flexibility. Interesting- no mention of safety or technology- not what us old folks expected! #Empower18
As you move toward your vision as a school, be clear that the range of acceptable behaviors has narrowed. Make sure they know how you will support them. Anticipate the needs of your people. #empower18@ASCDconf@Robyn_Mindsteps
Gen Z will require a different approach to coaching than other generations. Gen Z want a voice & opportunity to collaborate with coach. #Empower18@FWISD_PLI
Don’t 🥄 feed your students. Fight the urge and let the students discover the important ideas on their own. If you have created a culture of inquiry, acceptance, and collaboration, the kids will get there. The struggle is good for them. @alexiswiggins#Empower18@ASCD@ASCDconf
Encourage students to tinker! It is a great way to explore, make connections, warm up, or as an anchor activity. Provide guidance to students so they ask and answer good questions. #empower18

. @RJMotivates speaking of the pain, fear, and frustration of kids of color- and those emotions grow into anger if we don't help kids address them #empower18
What a great experience to hear Eric Jensen talk at @ASCDconf ! Our school has done a couple book studies with his books. Best part of the conference hands down. #Empower18#bmsbearpride
So affirmed about what our classrooms & learning spaces are looking like in RVS. Attended session at #Empower18 where we were talking about how to support learning from both a space and instructional practice POV. It could have been an infomercial for RVS. So proud! #rvsed

Skill development: Acquisition=I got it. Fluency=I can do it consistently. Maintenance=I can keep doing it later, maintained the skill. Generalization=I can do it in a different context. If only measuring acquisitions might as well not bother. @leeannjung#EMPOWER18
In Boston for @ASCD#Empower18 and saw their signs tucked in the fences from their march - miles and miles of signs - each one asking us to do something!
Changing furniture alone does not make the difference. Part of a bigger picture in which Ss also engaging in personalized learning opportunities. Different collab opp's require different spaces & different grouping. How does the change in space enhance the learning? #empower18
Fantastic team helping us understand how reimagining the learning spaces can enhance the students' learning opportunities. Thank you @Edu_Thompson, @erinshoemaker81, &@enoughallredy!!!!! #empower18

General Colin Powell shares essential practice: “Create conditions where they believe in you and you believe in them.” #trust#confidence
We need to consider how we demonstrate this foundational principle for Ss in learning communities. @everyinteractionmatters #Empower18
Pleasantries. Politeness. Human connection. What happens if we start talking to Google Home with the same respect. Will it build empathy? Or not understand what is happening. Something to consider. #Empower18

Final day and final look at the amount of compassionate educators coming together to “learn, teach, lead” @ASCDconf#Empower18 🌟👏🏽 I am now even more hopeful about the future of our schools! 🌎❤️ What feelings or thoughts will you take home with you?
Both @ManuelScott and Gen Colin Powell have made some strong points about power distance at #Empower18. How do we handle our power? Do we communicate that everyone is valued and important? Or do we exacerbate the power differences with our words and actions?
@ASCDconf
Future admin advice from @colinlpo: everyone in our [building] is equally as important and valuable as everyone else. No one is lower than anyone else. @WSASCD@ASCD#empower18

Retired General Colin Powell connects how principals are like battalion commanders. Inspiring people while taking care of them. Disciplining where needed to help. Creating trust and confidence by giving authority to act. #Empower18#rvsed
Ge. Powell: Need to convince our politicians it’s good to have a strong
defense and strong departments - BUT it doesn’t mean anything if we shortchange our education system. #empower18
#Empower18 General Colin Powell speaks about immigration and his parents who immigrated from Jamaica to America; and to the educational and life opportunities afforded him in becoming the man, soldier, General and Secretary of State.

#Empower18
.@PrincipalKafele asks Gen Colin Powell how to bridge the gap between teachers and admin. Gen Powell said he always trusts the line....The staff doing the work. The staff works for the subordinates not me. #empower18

On the tension between teachers and administrators: "I will pay more attention to the people on the line than the people "in charge". The staff works for the subordinates. The people closest to the work have the best field intelligence. #Empower18
It does not change lives when students complete an adult-chosen service project. As we saw on Saturday, it changes lives when students discover their genius & passion and apply them to solve their heartbreak. They become unstoppable. https://t.co/cFObCYymOY#empower18
Wow. Colin Powell just spoke about supporting public schools, immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship, banning assault rifles, and implementing universal health care in the United States. Amazing. #Empower18@ASCD@ASCDconf

“Trust and confidence are the essence of any kind of leadership.” General Colin Powell
I had the remarkable experience to hear from an exceptional leader this morning. Thank you @ASCDconf for this wonderful opportunity!
#Empower18
"There's a lot of debate about curriculum and removing some of the subjects. We can't short-change public schools. Give them the money they need. Give them the standards they need." I'm watching @PrincipalKafele have a convo with General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) at #Empower18.
Inspired this morning by General Colin Powell on the issues of education, national security, and immigration all through the lens of leadership. So grateful to learn his perspective and his humble approach to leading people. #empower18

The staff works for the subordinates, not for the leader. The line is usually right. Teachers work for the students. Principals work for their building community. Build bonds of trust that go down and come back up. Gen. Colin Powell @ASCDconf#Empower18
#Empower18 General Colin Powell debriefs regarding leadership and how you work with your team - you have to show that you believe in them and show that you trust them! “If you trust people they will trust you.”
Neo-liberals are the worst, DESPERATE to be validated they fall back on war criminals like General Colin Powell for a pep talk. #Empower18 What sort of joke is this? A man who condemned ONE MILLION people to slaughter and 6k US troops is all you guys could get?!
#pathetic
How do you determine who is Number 1,2,3...? It’s the people who say good morning...how are you? An important lesson in treating ALL people with respect, from Gen. Colin Powell this morning @ASCDconf#relationshipsmatter#Empower18
Totally inspired, empowered and amazed by General Colin Powell. Thank you @ASCD for great things to think about! Kids are out future-we owe it to them! #empower18

Once you get people on your team and they believe in you and they see that you are working for them as hard as you can, they'll do anything you ask because you have inspired them, and not just motivated them. -Colin Powell #Empower18
You are honored to be in the presence of a man that covered up the Mia ling massacre, killed one million Iraqis and sent 6k of our troops to die on his lies?
You are twisted. #Empower18
Retired General Colin Powell tells us to trust the people who you hear from on the ground. Important to keep connected with the people on the front line to keep these channels open. Tough to lead without bonds of trust. #Empower18#rvsed
What a great keynote from General Powell! He shared his political advice and ideas, was inspirational, and had us laughing so hard! #funnyguy#Empower18
It's awesome when teachers leave my assemblies inspired to challenge their students to build upon the experience. They are the true heroes and she-roes of the world! #EvenOnYourWorstDayYouCanBeSomeonesBestHope
“INSPIRE people not motivate! Build bonds of trust...nothing stronger for leadership! If you trust your staff, they will trust you!”-General Colin Powell #Empower18#ASCD18 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽YES!😉😊

Colin Powell's stories demonstrate distributed leadership in a way that is truly inspirational. What are we doing each day to amplify the voices of our teachers and students? #Empower18
@Scholastic Harry Potter means students will be excited about reading! I saw it happen in my 4th grade class. Thank you JKR for bringing the joy of reading to reluctant readers #Empower18
When people are inspired they believe in you and they take care of you. This creates an open door. Don’t block information coming in. If you do you’re a fool- Gen Colin Powell #empower18
"You trusted us. You trusted junior staffers to brief the President." - Gen. Powell -- This is what it felt like working in #ED44 administration too. #trustmatters#empower18
Great leadership lessons from Colin Powell at @ASCDconf. Trust leads to mutual loyalty and success in the work. If we don’t build trust with our teachers and other leaders we can’t make progress or inspire. #Empower18#engagecobb
“You can’t be insecure and be a good leader. You have to be secure, but you can’t be secure without people telling you the truth.” #GeneralColinPowell#Empower18
Gen Colin Powell has ability of being realistic & inspiring. Money motivates. It doesn’t inspire. There is nothing more important than bonds of trusts. Once you get people on your team to believe in you, they'll follow because they trust you. #Empower18#Inspired ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Colin Powel inspiring us wth stories about and insights into leadership — mutual trust among those in an organization is a key. #abbyschools#ascd#empower18#atms
'Nothing is more important in leadership than building bonds of trust' - Gen. Colin Powell at #Empower18. This means taking opportunities to put trust in others. @ASCDconf

Leadership is leadership, no matter the setting. It’s all about trust, relationships, and empowerment. Inspired by Gen. Colin Powell this morning! @ASCD@BeaufortSchools@DrivecoachEdu#empower18
Gen. Colin Powell: Leaders must be unafraid of the truth, and must create the conditions for staff to speak truth, even if it makes you look bad. Be prepared to get to the ‘ground truth.’
#abbyschools#ascd18@ASCD#empower18
Colin Powell's stories demonstrate distributed leadership in a way that is truly inspirational. What are we doing each day to amplify the voices of our teachers and students? #Empower18
General Powell on effective principal leadership: watch behavior of students in bleachers, interactions w teachers, the extent to which principal steps aside to invite teachers & students to speak. #Empower18#NevadaLeads
As principal, I know all 800 students names and am in classrooms daily!! I listen to all stakeholders. Open door policy. My followers believe in me. “This works for me” -General Colin Powell #Blessed#TransformationalLeader#ASCD#Empower18
If you haven’t visited us at @ASCD#Empower18, today is the day! Great last day conference discounts on our beautiful diverse children’s books! Booth #1842
General Powell reminded educational leaders to give teachers/staff the authority to act. How do we get lawmakers in Florida to heed this advice? #Empower18@fascd
"Leadership is taking 100% of management and elevating it to 120% by the personal actions of the leader... Everyone wants to be part of a good unit/school/classroom they can brag about and be proud of." General Colin Powell #Empower18
No soldier wants to be part of a mediocre unit they all want to be proud of what they are part of. It shouldn’t be a competition- everyone should be glad to see others succeed too-Gen. Powell #empower18
You are not a leader without followers, you are not a good leader if people don't believe in you.....everybody wants to belong to a good unit...General Colin Powell #Empower18
"I didn't go into the Army to be the best; I came into the Army to be my best." General Colin Powell speaks the truth about #growthmindset in all aspects of life and learning! @ASCDconf@ASCD#Empower18#TTUchat
Important words for perfectionists and overachievers:
"I didn't come to the army to be THE best, but to do MY best...if I'm doing my best, what else can I do?"
Gen Colin Powell @ASCDconf#Empower18
"You're not a good leader if you don't have followers who believe in you. Leadership is taking that 100% management and raising it to 120% through your actions." --General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) #Empower18
Management is taking an organization and making it reach 100% effectiveness. Leadership is taking that same organization and bringing them to 120% so they surpass what they were able to do earlier. Gen Colin Powell @ASCDconf#Empower18
"You are not a leader if you don't have followers." Gen. Powell perfectly defined the difference between a leader and a manager. Reflection: do you lead or manage? @ASCDconf#Empower18@PrincipalKafele
"No soldier wants to be in a mediocre unit. Everyone wants to be in a unit that they can brag about. The same is true in classrooms." --General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) #Empower18
“You’re not a leader if you don’t have followers, and you’re not a good leader if your followers don’t believe in you.” - General Colin Powell #Empower18@ASCDconf

"I didn't come into the army to be THE best, I came to do MY best. If I'm doing my best, what else can I do?" -Gen Colin Powell --powerful words from a retired general. #Empower18
Thank you @ASCDconf#Empower18 for saving General Colin Powell for the last day of the conference. The other speakers have been great & the sessions have been wonderful but his inspirational words are mission fuel & marching orders as I return to the trenches & the battlefield!
Colin Powell's 'doing your best" was lying to the UN on WMD's and condemning one million iraqis to the slaughter while trying to keep the american public from seeing the 6k flag draped coffins of US soldiers. #Empower18
Last chance to attend one of our #Empower18 workshops. “Creating Culturally Responsive Learning Environments” starts in just 10 minutes. #CreativeTeachingMatters
If you see something, say something. In many cases, "Someone has to bring a problem to you so you can solve it." --General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) #Empower18
#empower18 Gen Colin Powell - kids are counting on us. Put pressure on legislators. Take action. Some #guncontrol is necessary to make schools safe. @ASCD
"You can put guards in schools if you want, but we need to do something about removing the threat that is there is the first place." General Colin Powell #Empower18
On school safety and security measures: "The reality is you have a responsibility to children and parents to make the schools as safe as possible. But I don't want to see the schools become prison camps." -Colin Powell #Empower18
Regarding guns, "it's not the NRA, it's not the President. It's the Congress that can do something." And Powell does believe that some controls are necessary. But he also believes that schools must remove the threat that's there in the first place. #Empower18
Excellent closing session at #Empower18@ASCDconf ! In the words of Gen. Colin Powell... Leaders have to inspire the people around them. They will follow you because they trust you. The Q & A session with @PrincipalKafele is truly Empowering! Awesome job!

What a way to wind down this amazing #Empower18 experience. General Colin Powell speaking about the promises to our children. Aligns so closely to our why. It’s our job. #ImpactOne. @CollabLearnSol
Loyalty means giving your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. But once a decision is made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.
~General Colin Powell
Gen. Colin Powell spoke profoundly about the correlation between leadership, trust, and confidence @ASCDconf. The @ASCD keynote addresses have been inspiring for me as I continue to make an impact in education! #Empower18
"General Colin Powell" and #Empower18 <<<< This ENTIRE hashtag is full of the most deranged and indoctrinated fks in this country, right there next to Trump's crowd.
WE got bunch of hacks thinking its the 90's instead of 2018 talking to people as if they never committed crimes against humanity. And people wonder how we got Trump. #Empower18 is a collective of BORGS.
Today’s wisdom from Gen Colin Powell “Don’t guard me guard the building.” You are not a good leader if you don’t have followers who believe in you. If you trust in the line and the line trust you, the truth comes out and we get things done. #Empower18#ASCD@CollabLearnSol
LMFAO these hackjobs at #empower18 all are blocking me when I confront them about Colin Powells record.
Ya'll need to step up and stand up to these clowns. They are why we got Bush and Trump.
You know you are a true leader when your troops follow you even if it’s just out of curiosity-because they TRUST you. Grateful to be inspired by General Colin Powell. @ASCDconf#empower18
I went to many sessions and heard from speakers about the importance of humanizing our work and connections. Doing what's right for the people we serve. #Empower18

Thanks so much @ASCD for all you do for education and for letting me be a part of it all. I am proud to represent you as an Emerging Leader! What and awesome and inspiring #Empower18 in Boston. Until next time... @ASCDconf#EL17
Sincere thanks to @NELA_NCSU for such an awesome experience. I am leaving with a wealth of information that will be beneficial as I begin my career as an Executive Leader. I enjoyed the phenomenonal speakers @ManuelScott , @SCUSBoardChair, and General Colin Powell. #Empower18
Today’s wisdom from Gen Colin Powell “Don’t guard me guard the building.” You are not a good leader if you don’t have followers who believe in you. If you trust in the line and the line trust you, the truth comes out and we get things done. #Empower18#ASCD
Harry Potter is my 28 yr old daughter’s passion- beginning in grade school. Even today she will listen to one of Harry’s adventures on tape to disconnect from life’s stresses. ❤️ @Scholastic#Empower18#childhoodmemories

"General Colin Powell" share a powerful close out message at the #Empower18@ASCD conference. "Trust and confidence in others" are required for success as a leader or a teacher.
Can't wait until my last most powerful session with @snovak91335 at @ASCD#Empower18 !!!
Unleashing Your Leadership Capacity Through Literacy Classroom Visits...so excited!
These last few days have been filled with the most rich and meaningful professional development. @ASCDconf has delivered an incredible line up. Trust me when I tell you #Empower19 needs to be on your to-do list! #Empower18#SeeyouinChicago
Looking forward to hearing the story of Henry Grew Elementary and their school improvement journey powered by Peer Observation & Feedback. #empower18@ASCDconf
“I was so proud of those kids leading the marches on Saturday. Those are the brightest and the best! They spoke so eloquently because their education and their teachers have prepared them to do so!” Spoken by General Colin Powell. #Empower18@ASCDconf
Gen. Colin Powell on leadership, trust, confidence & educating our nation: "I tell kids, it's not enough to listen to the latest shouts & screams on the left & right. Learn to study the issues, think through them, & make your own decision. That is education" @ASCDconf#Empower18
Any Boston educators @ASCDconf want to open their doors tomorrow morning to let me visit from Indiana? I’d love to visit before my flight home tomorrow night. #empower18
What a great experience with over 8,000 professionals & some of the best thought leaders. I promised the @SCASCD folks that I would join them. Boston was good to me but there’s no place like #SouthCarolina. #Inspired#Empower18@ASCD@ASCDconf
Finishing up #Empower18 with "Empower, Not Intimidate: Student-Centered School Safety Strategies that Work!" How timely to remind ourselves of the importance of a #wholechild approach to school safety decision-making!
Such an inspiring and down-to-earth man. It was such an honor to listen to his reflections today on everything from education to diplomacy and lots of practical topics in between. Thank you #Empower18 for having such a great leader and human being speak… https://t.co/yM3Y5I9XfG
"Giving students a voice in their learning is how teachers can engage students and truly let them take ownership of their learning in meaningful ways." https://t.co/5dqxHEtkiO#pbl#Empower18
#HQPBL is an answer to having too many projects that happen at the end of a unit and moving to developing projects that are the vehicle for learning #Empower18
It was great meeting everyone @ASCDconf in Boston. For administrators and educators looking for more resources and support to change school discipline practices, check out Loyola’s online Certificate in School Discipline Reform. #Empower18https://t.co/2w7ML72oqv
We should be past HOW to use and MANAGEMENT of technology and should be talking about the purpose OF the use in learning and teaching. @web20classroom#Empower18
"How do we know as educators if what we're doing with technology is effective? Purpose is so important in education. And it's SO important with technology." Standing room only to learn from @web20classroom in one of the last #Empower18 sessions. #nced#edchat
Oral language is the most dominant language skill. Why do we not teach kids how to speak well? Why do their oral presentations still sound terrible? Why don't we have teacher training on teaching speaking?
-> @erik_palmer at @ASCDconf#Empower18#engchat
"The involvement of ed professionals in the decision making at all levels is what matters most. Their leadership and expertise can inform the policies that support a #wholechild education for every student." @ASCD 2018 Legislative Agenda @Griffith2020#Empower18
At @bamameghan’s session on family engagement at #Empower18. Last session of the day at the very end of the convention center. Either she’s a rock star or the topic is in high demand! (Or both. I’m betting both.)
None of us is the smartest person in the room - the DEVICE is the smartest person in the room. We have to learn how to make content meaningful! #Empower18@web20classroom
Technology should never be the driver of teaching and learning. Pedagogy first - what is the learning goal and is the tech helping you reach it? @web20classroom#Empower18
Skype interviews are becoming common. Who's teaching that skill? (Do you get tired of looking at people's foreheads when on Skype?)
-> @erik_palmer at @ASCDconf#Empower18
"Devices are the smartest people in the room. Devices know more than we ever will as educators. We're not planning FOR technology--We're planning WITH technology. Let the @iste standards be our guide." @web20classroom#Empower18#ISTEStandards#iste18
Assigning does not equal teaching. Don't just give kids assignments that require speaking. TEACH them how to speak well.

"An event is contagious for about 10-12 days following an incident." Since Parkland, threats/incidents per day have increased from 13.2/day to 59.4/day. @Eschoolsafety#Empower18
"The 7 top characteristics of success at Google are all soft skills." - https://t.co/Ix2n8CDGam Third session I've seen this weekend that has referenced this research. Smart people agree: content is less valued than skills. #Empower18

If you are looking for guidance in creating INCLUSIVE AND HIGH ACHIEVING school culture for African American boys THIS is who you need to see! Dr. Lionel Allen doing his THING at @ASCDconf#Empower18
Why don't we give students choice in what type of device they want to use to learn? #Empower18 1:1 isn't the best option - kids are in their device and not learning how to interact w/each other. @web20classroom
How much choice do we give students? Do we give students the choice of devices they use? Nobody tells me which device I should use, but we do that to kids. #yikes#guilty@web20classroom#Empower18
"Sharing and modeling how to share is so critical and important. Students need to see their teachers modeling and sharing their learning." @web20classroom#Empower18#ISTEStandards
Students need to be creating for a global audience - broaden their audience and they take more ownership and quality increases! #Empower18@web20classroom
Technology isn’t meant to replace what we already do. It’s mean to be transformational, it allows us to do things we couldn’t do before. #Empower18@web20classroom
Last session of #Empower18: Key Indicators of Highly Effective Technology Use "Technology isn’t just meant to replace what educators have traditionally done. It’s meant to radically transform learning into something meaningful." - @web20classroom
About 1/3 of serious threats reference Columbine specifically. We should be paying attention to issues of homemade bombs and not just guns. @Eschoolsafety#Empower18
“If we are taking away technology because we are afraid that kids are going to get all the answers right, then we need to rethink our questions. “ @web20classroom#Empower18
What does HQ problem based learning look like? Intellectually Challenging, Authentic (aka real world), contains a Public Product discussed & displayed, involves Collaboration in teams, leverages Project Management processes,and contains plenty of Reflection #Empower18#rvsed
We ALL must be a MODEL user of technology! #Empower18@web20classroom Leaders must be able to recognize effective use of tech in the classroom - not just bells and whistles.
How can an administrator evaluate use of technology without being a model user of technology? Good thoughts from @web20classroom that @MrDaveyTeaches and I have discussed all the time! #empower18
The call to action with #PD2Learn and #TitleIIA helped save and increase federal education funding. Show appreciation to your legislators but stay viligant. #Empower18
Leadership Qualities for Technology:
1. Be a model user of technology.
2. Understand technology in the process of learning.
3. Guide conversations and provide support.
#empower18
Engagement does not equal effectiveness. Effectiveness can lead to engagement. Just seeing kids being excited about using a technology tool does not mean it is effective. #Empower18@web20classroom
A great reminder from @web20classroom about planning with technology:
“Engagement does not equal effective. Just because you see kids engaged, it does not mean that the lesson is fundamentally effective.” #Empower18
@ManuelScott is such a powerful speaker that truly cares about EVERYONE. @ASCDconf#Empower18 I even got an autograph from his son. What an amazing experience!
"Engagement does not equal effectiveness. There is a BIG difference. Just because you use technology does not mean that your teaching is effective." @web20classroom#Empower18
Just because you use technology does not make instruction more effective - things like feedback, collaborative discussion (focused), etc. need to be included #Empower18@web20classroom
When you are doing walkthroughs - they are not effective unless you know what to look for.... (with instruction and use of technology in instruction) #Empower18@web20classroom
Hip hop is the number one form of music in the world. What engages you about this genre? How can you use it in your classroom? @VincentDeas@Khalilahloves#empower18
SAMR is what lessons more engaging, TPACK is what makes lesson effective. A change in pedagogy is what is needed for effective technology use #Empower18@web20classroom
SAMR is what makes Lessons more engaging. TPACK is what makes lessons effective (focuses on pedagogy. These two can live in the same world! #Empower18@web20classroom
When using hip hop in your classroom it’s not just about i info kids wrote raps. It’s about figuring out what elements of hip hop engage students and using that as part of your pedagogy. @Khalilahloves#ascd#empower18
When using hip hop in your classroom it’s not just about having kids write raps. It’s about figuring out what elements of hip hop engage students and using that as part of your pedagogy. @Khalilahloves#ascd#empower18
Key Indicator of Effective Tech Use #1-Who is using the technology? There should be a mix of both teacher centered and student centered use. Look at it over time. #Empower18
@ncatcollegeofed faculty believe the educational experience happens outside the classroom equally as much as it happens in the classroom. Great to see our MSA candidate @KesandraFarmer engaged in learning, critical thinking, and networking at the @ASCD Conference #Empower18.
Key Indicator of Effective Tech Use
#2 If the technology is taken away, how would the learning be different? Is the technology being used to transform the learning?#Empower18
It's imperative that we learn about cultures other than our own. Why I chose the Pedagogy of Trap Music at #Empower18. Learn. Listen. Understand. Act with Empathy. @VincentDeas@Khalilahloves
Keynote General Colin Powell inspired me to pick up the phone and thank my parents for loving me and investing in me. Never forget to acknowledge what others have poured into you and as an educator be that for others. #Empower18
How much variety with technology is there? This is the CHOICE question. Are you providing a recipe for students to follow or a menu from them to choose from that allows flexibility? #Empower18@web20classroom
"Recipes belong in kitchens, not classrooms. Kids need to choose what format is most comfortable for them so they can demonstrate understanding." @web20classroom#Empower18@ASCDconf
It was a privilege to listen to General Colin Powell’s keynote this morning @ASCDconf's not only as a military veteran but as an educator. #Empower18#inspiring
Recipes belong in kitchens...not classrooms. Don’t make all kids turn in the exact same thing, just because it’s easiest for you. Let them choose what is most comfortable to them. #Empower18
Students need to have choices in order to have the opportunity to fail and then reflect on why the failure occurs. Did they choose the correct tool? timeframe? goal? #Empower18@web20classroom
I’m in awe and debt to @averyteach for her visual representation of my presentation on “Coaching Up Leaders”! This is a passion area for me, and to see this summarized like this is amazing! Thank you, Janet! #Empower18
What opportunities do students have to truly collaborate through technology....with the teacher, with students in their class, outside their class, outside their school, state, country? #Empower18@web20classroom
"1:1 technology doesn't mean all Ss need to be using technology at same time. Kids need opportunity to collaborate, work through conflict, problem-solve as a group." #Empower18@web20classroom@ASCDconf
Key Indicator of Effective Tech Use #4 Do students have opportunities to truly collaborate through technology. A mix of in-person collaboration, beyond the classroom, beyond the school, beyond their state, beyond their country. #Empower18
Key Indicator of Effective Tech Use #5 What opportunities do students have to construct new knowledge and demonstrate understanding to a global audience. #Empower18
"Knowledge shouldn't exist between a student and a teacher. It needs to be shared between a student and global audience." #Empower18@ASCDconf@web20classroom
What opportunities do students have to construct new knowledge and demonstrate understanding through technology-driven products for a global audience? #Empower18
Wow. @web20classroom is frequently mentioning @iste standards. Does he know that he's presenting @ASCD's #Empower18? Wait--Shouldn't leaders know "Key Indicators of Highly Effective Technology Use"? Love sessions about learning with tech at a leadership conference. #ISTEStandards

Big ideas for a new model of educational change:
1. A “hope” efficacy
2. Prioritization and focus
3. Specificity w/ proximity
4. Measure what you lever
5. Monitor adult and student scores
#empower18@ASCD@DouglasReeves
#Empower18 Reflection (3 of ?) There are many kind/dedicated educators that give generously of their time & talents to help students & schools. I love sharing w & learning from educators from all over. There is power when we sit across the table from each other with open minds.
#Empower18 Reflection (4 of ?) Some unsung educators that are making a difference are the vendors and booth support people at the conference. It is easy to tell when their hearts are in the right place and they want to help students learn! Thank you!
The person doing the most talking is doing the most learning. How do we engage our students to use the spoken word? @Khalilahloves@VincentDeas#Empower18
Shout out to little brother @VincentDeas and big sister @Khalilahloves for preaching at @ASCDconf#Empower18 Great work is happening in NYC through a culturally responsive and equity lens. 👏🏾👏🏾
"Why do we let kids drown when we could so easily save them? Do we think they're incapable? Stop it. Teach students how to speak."
@erik_palmer at @ASCDconf#Empower18
Feeling #empower18 as @ASCD closes. 3 big take always: 1) Students will take the lead in their learning if we let them 2) There are many approaches/models for #deeperlearnig- find what’s right for you and your students 3) Allow students to spread their learning story
Thanks to all the #empower18 attendees! It was great meeting so many new people and seeing familiar faces-it’s really like a family reunion! #gratitude@ASCDconf
"None of this works if YOU have not personally connected with your students. None of this works if your students do not feel that you are personally invested in their success." Annnnd with that timely wrap-up sentiment, enjoy the @ASCDconf#Empower18 in a nutshell.

Today I went on a historical tour of Boston-saw these relics that were once used for communication. The closest thing to ubiquity as an 80s kid that I knew and for a mere quarter I could contact fam- if they were at the location I guessed. No contracts/upgrades #unplug#empower18
This is the absolute best message I could’ve gotten from the most remarkable crew of teachers while wrapping up an amazing few days at the #ASCD#Empower18 conference. They make it so easy to #CelebrateMonday & celebrate all days!❤️🖤✨ #DurfeePride#FARocks#LoveWorks

Learned so much at #Empower18. Can't wait to return to my @parker_middle tribe to share. Finished the day off with a great message from Gen. Colin Powell and a session on Pedagogy of Trap Music! Thanks, @ASCDconf! Now time to rest up for a great day tomorrow! @tpssuper
An example of how powerful our flexible solution is for students! This is definitely not what my classroom looked like, but I wish it had!! #empower18#edtechflex#flexibleseating
I cannot wait for #empower19 in Chicago. Already am excited about the speakers and being there while the river turns GREEN! Thanks @ASCDconf you never disappoint but this year was exceptional! #empower18
Start saving your pennies, write a grant, beg your district! Whatever you have to do to get to #Empower19 If you’re not a member of @ASCD consider that, too. You’ll be surrounded by a huge cadre of inspirational, innovative and amazing educators! #empower18
Hope to see you at #Empower19 next year in Chicago! I am planning to go. Might work up the courage to submit a presentation proposal. Thanks for sharing your learning, Nili at #Empower18! #CelebrateMonday

@nbartley6 so happy that you walked by & talked to us crazy ladies. Loved talking 'why,' education, leadership, jelly beans and pirates...ARGG! This #Empower18 weekend was so inspiring! Our heads are bursting w/ ideas! Looking forward to seeing you in May. @ASCDconf
Ya never know where you'll find PIRATE educators! @leaderally1 knows PD, what matters most, & they lead with WHY! Speaking with these fabulous ladies was an #empower18 highlight for sure! #leadlap#leadlapmass#maleads18
Yes! Funding can be such a barrier to amazing in-person experiences like @ASCD#empower18. Thank you! I hope to see more people and organizations step up and help!
I had such an amazing time at @ASCD#Empower18! But, I couldn’t help but think about educators who wanted to be there, but couldn’t due to finances.
There is a contest on my Instagram connected to this video that provides teachers with $500 to travel! Go nominate somebody!

“I can’t change the past, I can watch the present with interest, but the only thing I can focus on is the future of our children.“ General Colin Powell (Ret.) eloquently ended our #ASCD18#Empower18 conference.
I had a wonderful conversation with Gen. Colin Powell. He greeted each of my family members and friends in a wonderful way. It is true, your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men. @ASCD@ASCDconf#empower18
Effective instructional rigor has the power to expand students’ capacity for deeper understanding and intrinsic motivation. #Empower18#gmsfalcon#falconslearn

Reflecting today on grading & what I learned at #empower18 - Something that really sticks with me is a quote from Gen. Colin Powell: “[To be a leader] You need to get people to trust you and the only way you can do that is to give them the authority to act.” @ASCDconf

What an inspiration! Powerful messages given by @ManuelScott at @ASCD#Empower18. So many takeaways from this weekend, but my favorite...”All students need grit. Some just need healing first!”
Another year in the books! Thank you @ASCD@ASCDconf for another inspirational empowering conference! So great to see many educators and friends from across the country too! And thank you Boston for such a fun place to visit! #Empower18@DebDelisle@HawaiiASCD

Back in Ohio from @ASCDconf and overwhelmed by the amazing experience. Will be sharing in a few days once I have time to process it all. #Empower18#HereWeGrow
I’ll certainly be posting a number of blog posts as well as my interviews with some amazing educators in the days ahead. For now, I’ll post some of my favorite moments in picture form... #empower18
“Only in the United States of America could a kid born in Harlem, with a public school education, with 2 immigrant parents become a 4-star General.”
- Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.)
#Empower18
Favorite Moments of #Empower18:Listening to @ManuelScott’s unforgettable speech, waiting in line talking about reaching today’s youth with new friends @ekbailey and @tayecode, and meeting the man himself who, even after 2 hours of meet and greets, personalized every encounter.
Home and reflecting on my 1st @ASCDconf. There were so many educational jewels that I came away with. I’m renewed in my work as an educational leader! @ASCD#empower18
Oh my goodness, I’m trying to catch up! Been chatting with the fam & packing. Heading home tomorrow at the crack of dawn! Amazing @ascd#empower18 conference #InspirEDMobChat

Had an amazing time at #Empower18. @ManuelScott and @ColinPowellCCNY thank you for your inspiring words. And thank you to all of the amazing presenters!
Finally got to give my babies a kiss after an awesome 4 days of learning and growing at #Empower18@ascd. I missed them but it was so worth it because I was learning how to better their experiences for the future! #nrcsdchat@TeacherAndAdmin@whesmesposito
Finally home after a great #empower18 conference. Thanks @ASCDconf for bringing such top notch talent like @ManuelScott, @JillBidenVeep, and Colin Powell. You can only pour out of a bucket that’s full, and ours is replinshed. Thank you.

Proud of all these committed educators for getting up early in the morning-on the last day of the conference, to analyze and strategize “Building Cultures of School Success.” A necessary conversation today! Great interaction. @ASCD#empower18@ASCDconf
Landed in Bmore. 45 min ride hm to DC. Rest. Unpack... repack! Then off to Miami for a much needed spring break! When I return the great work begins after a great experience at @ASCDconf@ASCD#EMPOWER18
Amazing time and great q&a session! Your talk about inspiration vs uncomfortable was moving! Thank you for making my #empower18 weekend so unforgettable #respect#lookinthemirror Thank you @PrincipalKafele
Some choose to be a jack of all trades. I respect that, but not for me. I chose to do one thing and do it to the best of my ability! I am so honored and elated to have had the opportunity to interview Gen. Colin Powell today at #ASCD18 in Boston in front of 8000 educators!
Started my "chew" (thanks @Ready4rigor) on the flight home from #Empower18 with some (mostly word) sketchnotes. Forgot my pencil sharpener, so made do with what I had.

Still digesting all the knowledge that was shared at #Empower18 . So excited to get back in the building tomorrow to continue making a difference in students lives!!
👏🏾👏🏾 Well done @ASCDconf@ASCD My 1st ASCD Annual Conference was in SF in 2011 and I have attended every one since (now called ASCD Empower) and this was the most powerful thus far. Thank you for creating the space for educators to come together to learn and grow #Empower18

Thank you @ASCD for such inspiring speakers and presenters at #Empower18. Leaving on the words of General Colin Powell to head home reinforced my commitment to serve all students that walk in the door of my school each day. Thanks to @NELA_NCSU for making it possible to attend!

He affirmed my thoughts...
While I know SM can connect those that are 1000mi away, it could have negative effects on those right next to you...if used irresponsibly.
What an amazing 4 days:
-Connected with passionate educators at @ASCDconf#empower18
-Saw Boston sights & it’s rich history -Had the pleasure of seeing many @IDECorp clients & friends -Lots of time with my IDE teammates! -Cheering on my ‘Cats to the #FinalFour#LetsMarchNova
