So proud of STEM Academy middle school Ss that read Thirst by @varshabajaj and then were inspired to do something about global access to fresh water. They organized a "penny war" with our little K-8 school and we raised over $1400 to send to water.org/ @Water

Now is the time to shift our focus from test scores (a dying, oppressive data system) to measuring student AGENCY through classroom reflections, listening sessions, performance assessments, project-based learning, surveys, & more. Sky is the limit! #StreetData @JamilaDugan

If each habit existed in an insulated compartment and operated without affecting or being affected by others, character would not exist. That is, conduct would lack unity being only a juxtaposition of disconnected reactions to separated situations.

The @KRESAIS Career Connect mobile lab is awesome! I was able to engrave a bubba tumbler with CCC and it only took 15 seconds. @xToolOfficial STEM Academy Middle School students are going to love it. They will get to practice welding with the @MillerWelders MobileArc AR system.
