As John Spencer and I wrote in our book, Empower. "What decisions am I making for my students that they could be making for themselves?" If we want engagement, we need agency. If we want deeper learning, we need agency. If we want Next Gen schools, we DEFINITELY need agency.

Creating the foundation for belief is what I learned from @Jennmaich in chapter 10 of the The DEV Leader, If students know the science behind Growth Mindset early, students will become the ambassadors of GM for others. Something to teach my studetns in my future classroom!

The quote by Hadi Partovi that @NaglersNotions shares in The DEV leader explains the computer science and coding should be as foundational as math and science, it is important to understand how the internet works just as much as science because it prepares them for everyday life

The shift to badge books is advantageous to learners because it includes the learners in the measuring of their proficiency and growth. Allowing learners to take part in their grading system motivates them to choose what they want to learn all while growing at their own pace

DEV Leaders ask how we will prepare K-kids for their graduation in the future? The DEV leader needs to make sure the experiences in school prepares them for the ambiguous world. As a leader I need to cultivate experiences that prepares them for the future #LIUEdTech #DEVLeader

The first 3 chapters in @NaglersNotions The DEV leader book taught me that to be a leader you need to look forward to the future and anticipate what might happen over the next few years. The book is a great introduction to the mindset of a leader. Glad to be working at Mineola!
