Last night, watching a documentary with a dad and his doting young daughter on his lap, it hit me hard that I'll never again have those moments with my daughters (now 14 and 16). Many say the greatest gift is giving someone your time, but it's really giving them your attention.

Last weekend I was talking to an educator, actually a registered & politically active Republican, who works at KDE. She was bemoaning the fact that the @KYGOP will likely run Glass out. Said she likes him & thinks he's been effective. via @courierjournal

Why do Republicans suddenly hate 'woke' Kentucky Education Commissioner Jason Glass?

Kentucky's Education chief says the guidance on transgender students existed long before he took the job, Then there was a meeting with lawmakers ...

Should we be suspicious of the motives of people who do things like describing themselves as a "change maker" in their twitter handle? I've often said the smartest people in the room don't have to tell anyone they're the smartest, it's obvious. Same for "change makers"?

Wonderful conversation between @Ayishat_Akanbi and @JohnRWoodJr as they compare notes on the projects of empathy building across the divides in both Britain and America.

@TitaniaMcGrath I don't think he necessarily thinks they have a wrong opinion but he's not inaccurate with the description of them being skeptics. I think you may be missing the mark on this one.

Knowledge isn't power but we are more powerful with knowledge if we know how to apply it and use it to ask beautiful questions.

"Telling people to reject hate and choose love will not work. Because people swept up in high conflict do not think of themselves as full of hate, even if they are. They think of themselves as right." - @amandaripley

@DrJBhattacharya Even if they share ideological predilections the professors should still challenge student values and ideas...unless of course they're not interested in practicing the tenets of liberal science.

In my teacher prep I was chastised for making a BB that was interactive but not pretty or durable despite it being an example, not in a real classroom. Teacher asked me what I thought when I saw how much work others put into theirs. "I thought they put too much work into theirs."

Few things are less inspiring of curiosity and deep learning than posting of "learning targets."

If someone is selling something promising to make project-based learning simple you should be suspicious. By definition PBL is complex.

Maybe it's because I'm an educator but I rarely watch sports w/o knowing the team b/c I'm mostly interested in the growth. Watching @RacingLouFC grow since their start & players like @Savannah_DeMelo , @jaehowell18 , & @MillietLauren has been a joy for this soccer Dad & daughter.
