AEAs in Iowa provide so many great services to schools beyond just services for special education. Gutting them would cause massive issues, especially for smaller districts. The destruction of public schools in Iowa continues.

"Life humbles you. As you grow old, you stop chasing the big things and start valuing the little things. Alone time, enough sleep, a good diet, long walks, and quality time with loved ones. Simplicity becomes the ultimate goal." ~Master Nobody

Be Kind. Work Hard. Give Compliments. As Jenna modeled, if we keep showing up for each other, inspiration isn't hard to find. Who inspires you? #ECCSInspire

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence...How do we encourage reflection?”

“People have said, “don’t cry“ to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.“ I’d rather have them say, “go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.“”

People won’t change the way THEY talk about school until WE change the way we talk about school. Walk tall. Be loud. Celebrate the amazing things that happen daily with adults and kids in a school. We’re all in this thing together. #hackingleadership #findaway #neverjusta #wresa8 – at Asheville, NC

Three years ago, I was in a bad spot w/ teaching. My students wouldn’t listen. I was always irritated.
Today, I’ve never been more motivated. Why?
I made a choice to care more about the kids than the content.
We can’t control their learning.
We can control our caring.

This is the latest in a series of short videos being released before the June 25th vote for a new high school in Cedar Falls. @adamdejoode has a unique perspective in that he's in many schools every week because of his job.

Students need role models who are bold, brave, and who embrace vulnerability. Be that for them. #Education #EdChat

Collaboration and skill identified by my 6-year-old daughter who understands the importance of that combination in the classroom. I love this.

Telling people WHY they matter, rather than just that they matter, changes the game entirely. #YouMatter #EdChat
