I’m Kandice San Miguel, I teach 9th on-level & pre-AP English at Lake Ridge, and my fav vacation destination is Disney World (season doesn’t matter!) #EDpiper
Hi everyone! Dan, business teacher from St. Louis. My favorite summer destination: my bed. I am able to reunite with my pillow for longer time frames #edpiper
Let’s roll #Edpiper fans. I’m @drjohnsonedu Principal and co-mod. of #Edpiper. My favorite summer destination is by the water, with the grill fired up, on a lazy day with my family.
Hi there! Jessica Fasani from Midway ISD. Instructional Technologist for 1:1 iPad district. My favorite summer destination is inside in the air conditioning! It’s too hot to be alive in Texas! #EDpiper

A1: When @Tedford_STEAM and I restructured clubs and collaborated to work through logistics/ big picture. Doing what’s best for ALL students on campus #edpiper#steamlearns#mypln
My favorite learning moments this year came from a leadership team we formed from our student body. It was fun learning what they thought our campus needs were from their perspectives. #EDpiper
This year has been a struggle for our campus with a lot of changes, all for the better. But the best learning moment was at the worst times, teachers leaning on each other for support and encouragement. Don’t discount help from your neighbor. #EDpiper
A1: my favorite learning moment was interviewing my superintendent, @FoxC6Super and hearing his mission and vision for the district. Learned a great deal from that conversation and helped frame my administrative thinking. #edpiper
A1: One of my favorite learning moments has just been watching 3rd graders learn and collaborate together. It’s a big change from Pre-K! They’ve helped me grow as an educator. #EDpiper
A2: I've grown professionally from the feedback I've received this year...some good, some bad, some hit deep...but I know that I am better for it all. #EDpiper

A2: This year, my team began to implement the PLC model. It’s been a struggle, but I’ve learned a lot about technology in the classroom, have updated lessons, and learned to work with others even when it’s tough. #EDpiper
A2: I got a lot of feedback from peers, teachers, campus leadership, friends, my PLN....all made me better, or is making me better. It is a growth process....for sure. #EDpiper
Starting semester 6 of 7 tomorrow. Will be finished around Christmas this year. My paper is on social media in education. Looking at if it helps increase student engagement and achievement in the classroom. Data is just about collected. #edpiper
A3: @Owl_b_TorresEdu and I took many risks. We added #personalizedPD to our PD rotations, focused on restorative justice practices, and a new PLC time. Many risks, lots of feedback, and reflection. #EDpiper
The biggest thing I've learned this year is to give a big fist bump to all the gigantic challenges you've overcome. It's overcoming the obstacles that make us greater. #EDpiper@MrsPottingerCCE@TrueNorthCG
This year our kinder team piloted Kinder Camp the first two weeks of school. This gave us to opportunity to create balanced classrooms in kinder. We've gotten a lot of great feedback and have the data to back it up! #EDpiper
A3: I started a brand new class and it has been fantastic. I also took on a leadership role of dept. head, and continued on other leadership roles that have been very beneficial for me. #edpiper
#edpiper We had so many great initiatives and success stories. Hard Work, Pays Off! You must have the will to push through. I’m super excited to be presenting at TEPSA Summer Conference! https://t.co/AfXqIuQj2F#tepsastrong@tepsatalk
If anyone out there is looking for a great kindergarten student placement model, look no further... Ask @MrsPottingerCCE all about the Kinder Camp and its success. #EDpiper

A3: This is silly/simple/behind, but I started using collaborative documents through Google Classroom (the first time I’ve used GC too!). Students enjoyed being able to create something together and the products were amazing and thoughtful! #EDpiper
A3: New district, new grade level, 1:1 technology....so many risks were taken!! Every single one of them had a positive outcome. I think I’ve become more confident as an educator because of them. I’m usually not a risk taker but I’m slowly stepping out! #EDpiper
A3: Took a lot of risks this year...some of them paid off...some of them were received well...others not so much...risks are always worth taking though...would not go back on any choice I made with @sarahpedrotti. #EDpiper
This year I learned the ropes of CTE. We increased CTE certifications by 20 times, added new courses & still expanding programs. Our CTE teachers are amazing! #EDpiper

Agreed! Lessons learned always pay off in a big way, no matter if they were sweet or bittersweet. No one can take away what you’ve learned either way. #EDpiper
A4: Proudest student success moment has to be the kids that are learning to self-regulate...no, they are not perfect, but they are learning to live life! #EDpiper
I tried a ton of new things and extended a tremendous amount of grace and trust. It paid off. People thrive when they are trusted & shrink when they are not. #EDpiper
A4: Hands down, a 4-year process, when a student I had been so worried about, stressed over, spent countless hours on the phone and emailing parents to keep on track, walked into my classroom in their cap and gown. #EDpiper
A4: The greatest student success stories can be found in every classroom @CastlemanCreek I can't choose just 1. My favorites: Students who choose to be kind over everything else. I love to see positive notes, hear sweet words to friends, & just showing common courtesy. #EDpiper
Not silly/simple/behind at all. Super proud of you for jumping in!
I heard a #CEO of a #startup tell investors that, "every CEO starts off as a first-time CEO." #HeckYeah We all start from the starting line!
#EDpiper
A4: I have many- they mostly belong to my teachers. When a student tells me what they are learning, or I see their amazing work all over Twitter, FB, and Insta, it makes me proud to see all of the growth in my teachers and students. #EDpiper
A5: As a teacher there is always something I can improve on. I plan to keep revising all of my curriculum to make it relevant and current for the Ss to continue to make connections. #edpiper
A3: @fasanitj always has amazing ideas for us to use in our classrooms! Many are new so it takes some courage to try them. Some ideas just work while others are a total flop. Takes practice and the kids love trying new things! ❤
A5: Next year, I plan to continue incorporating more tech into my lessons. I’m slow to the bandwagon, but apps like Nearpod are amazing and I hope to include more of them in my lessons, along with more online collaboration. Trying to move into the 21st century! #EDpiper
A5: I plan to continue to take risks with technology..like the awesome QR videos for stations from @MrsPottingerCCE!! And just to continue to engage my students and get them to develop their love of reading and writing! #EDpiper
My favorite student success story is the story of how our teachers tackled their own learning curve as we rolled out new curriculum AND 1:1 at the same time. They were diligent, creative, inquisitive, passionate, focused, collaborative- I could go on & on! #EDpiper
Moments like these...when your husband and daughter bring dozens of donuts to school to appreciate your teachers and staff. Pretty cool hubby! Thanks @TrueNorthCG#Edpiper
R5: I’m changing my entire content area from earth/Space to physics. It gonna be a big change for me and I’m gonna have to work at it. Being vulnerable and transparent is not a bad thing. #EDpiper
Next year, I plan on being more intentional and goal oriented with my time and not let random things take over my day. I want to plan out each day before it takes over my plans! #EDpiper

R6: I am working with our tech dept this summer ensuring that our virtual summer school is good to go. I am working on creating more opportunities for #PBL with Ss accustomed to sit n git. Provide opportunities for Ss reflection throughout the year. #EDpiper

A6: I’m participating in a book study over “Disrupting Thinking” by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst on how we read/how to close read. Hopefully this will translate to the classroom and our book studies there next year. #EDpiper
A7: Getting rid of these black circles under my eyes! Lots of sleep! And helping my husband finish up his alt-cert to become a high school science teacher. #EDpiper
A7: Taking a girls' trip to Denver with my mom and sis-in-law so that us edus can attend the Scholastic Reading Summit to meet @AlanGratz#EDpiper#groupie#foodie
R7: I’m T- 5 weeks away from a week in Costa Rica with my family. Never have been and it’s the first time out of the country for my girls. Super excited about going. #EDpiper
A7: Spend time with my wife since she will be done with her residency and has time before joining her practice in the fall. Attending my brothers wedding in July. @Cardinals baseball games. Spending time with this dude #edpiper
A6: I plan to organize for the new year, listen to podcasts, and read great books on leadership. I also hope my staff will come up to keep me company- building relationships is on my list, too. I'd love to just get to know my staff better...just day to day stuff. #EDpiper
A3: Bringing esports into the high school setting and having it do as well as it has. Sure there have been many bumps along the way but I am happy with our first year successes and look forward to many more years of more successes. #EDpiper
Hard to believe we are winding down for the summer and taking our #EDpiper summer break. Where did this year go?!? I’ve loved being a comoderator & making so many new friends. Good summer to you all!!!
Thank you #EDpiper fans for spending the year with us building your your #PLN and #growing alongside us. We appreciate your contributions and hope that you learned a few things along the way too! Have a fantastic #summer! #ChooseJoy#IWillMissYourGifs
Thanks so much for this great group of educators. I’d like to invite you to continue the convo this summer with some other great chats. #IDedchat#NVedchat#INeLearn, and #TeachNVchat. I think all these go all summer long. #EDpiper
Happy summer, everyone. Thank you for a great year on #EDpiper We look forward to seeing everyone again after the summer break. Until then, make it a great one and #ChooseJoy
#AMEN#EDpiper
I have such a strong group of EduSuperHeros that I look up to so much! I would tag all of y'all but not enough characters. Y'all inspire me to work harder for #learners! #NoToStatusQuo#EDpiper
