9/10 times I signed on here when it was the blue-🐦, it was to see what @jmhenner had to say about the world and bounce off to jon-inspired side quests. In celebration of the 43rd anniversary of his birth, I'm going to give #BlueskySocial a try. See you there or beyond.

Teacher PD has needed an overhaul for a generation. And, it matters how we do it. Don't let it be the next frontier for $ flow w/o accountability. Don't let teachers be another kind of casualty of policy change. @LearningForward @ASCD @ILAToday @ncte @ncte_cel
