Had an awesome day collaborating with @MelKitchenEDU and Dan Lynch from @Erie1BOCES @wny_ric. Melanie and Dan organized with @BPArtCenter to teach about digital storytelling using the artwork in the museum. Teachers learned about the museum and took a tour.

How would you define #innovation in your field? And is it something you/your #business actively participates in? I'm curious and asking across my social networks, which admittedly are mostly circles of #educators, but welcome all responses. Please share!

I was just looking at my cubicle wall wondering if what I Am displaying is even still relevant to my work. And now, it will all come down and be replaced with my own learning wall! I can't wait! TY @RebekahODell1 for sharing & inspiring!

How can an English teacher integrate #NYSCSDF standards? 👇👍
📣 Attention English Teachers 📣 Are you planning a lesson on figurative language? Try using #CSFirst. Students will be able to use coding to create projects that explore metaphors, personification, idioms & more. Check out this lesson: goo.gle/46qMfQD

Standing agendas have streamlined my meetings and consortiums so that attendees know what to expect AND planning is easier, faster, & more organized. See comment below on how to get started. #techcoach #instructionalcoach #edleadership
Do you have regular meetings with your administrators and coaches? Do you have a standing agenda? If not, give this one from @educoachnetwork a try 👇👇👇 #educoach #teachertwitter

Start by using your goals to categorize topics to address at ea meeting. Breakdown milestones & action items to fill in each agenda. Pro tip: leave some flexibility for anything new or unexpected that may come up.
