#AB1955 passed out of the Assembly Education Committee today! Anderson Union High School Teachers Association President Shaye Stephens testified today in favor of the SAFETY Act because the safety and wellbeing of our students is incredibly important to us as educators. #WeAreCTA
I’m excited to collaborate with our next cohort of action researchers this week! We’ll consider #MindBrainEducation principles as we design and assess new strategies to inspire student engagement and deeper learning in our middle and upper school classrooms. @ViewpointSchool

I saw this on a teacher’s desk when working with the language department at @paideiaschool last week. I asked if I could share. She was happy to pass it on to #tweachers. – at Atlanta, GA

I am “excited” to be relearning statistics. (See what I did there? I can reframe!) On a related note, I want to say a big thank you to the professor with the soothing voice who recorded all of those handy instructional videos for us non-mathematicians. @ASU

I just completed my first submission to a scholarly journal since I began my Ed.D! Even if it isn’t accepted, this already feels like a huge milestone, so I’m celebrating! 👩💻 📚 🥂 @asueducation @tcdc_asu #ASUEdD #AcademicChatter – at Los Angeles, CA
I did it! An extensive, dense batch of qualitative data is coded. 😅 👩💻
This is just the beginning of a long road ahead. But I can ring in the new year feeling like I have accomplished something! 🥂 @asueducation #ASUEdD #QualResearch – at Los Angeles, CA

I’m using this unusual winter break to try to code “some” (read: a ton of) qualitative data, and I had to say thank you to you, @gravesle. It’s a daunting process, but I don’t know where I would be without my notes from TEL713! #ASUEdD @asueducation – at Los Angeles, CA

I think, after four intense days (plus much caffeine and a bit of aspirin), I have given birth to a coding frame. I did decide to do this portion of the qualitative content analysis by hand, and do not regret that choice. – at Los Angeles, CA
