Loved them! What a way to kick off the conference! 👏🎉 #LearnFwd23

As coaches, we support the whole person, not just specific skills - keynote panelist Jen Lara #LearnFwd23

Thousands of us at #LearnFwd23 are wearing special t-shirts today to demonstrate that every educator needs to be an advocate for professional learning. “Everything we do is at risk if we don’t advocate for professional learning. We need all of your voices.”

Great meeting you, Kelsey Pacer, Ed.D.! Thanks for introducing yourself and I follow you too. Enjoy the rest of the #LearnFwd23 conference!

Excited to be with Elisa MacDonald learning about impact AND function of teams. #LearnFwd23

#12daysCommunity #VBThrive. Day 2. Connect with friends and tag them to play along.

Big thank you to Robert Wnukowski who is kicking off today's Advancing Leaders session! We appreciate learning about your role, how you are leveraging you strengths and especially how you plan for difficult conversations. #LeadVB

It's that time of year! Please join in!

I missed yesterday and am so overthinking Day 2. Something joyful in my life are my two kittens, Olive and Rosemary. Confession, they aren't this little anymore. #VBThrive #12DaysCommunity What is fun in your life, Dr. Lisa Banicky, Lorena Kelly and Melanie J Hamblin ?

I have the hardest time specifying a favorite for anything so my 2- Multipliers by Liz Wiseman & Intentional Moves by Elisa MacDonald. Both are so valuable for leaders with a common thread of self-awareness & intentional empowering & including others. #VBThrive #12DaysCommunity

Yes, this is last week's prompt but I wanted to share this Walt Whitman quote- Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour. The pic is from my English walking vacation- my way to decompress and be in the moment. #VBThrive #12DaysCommunity

This picture represents PGI-VBCPS's multiple bags of holiday fun in the form of gifts for one of our VBSchools families. Thank you to our social workers who coordinate the Holiday Connections program which allows us to spread some kindness and joy! #VBThrive #12DaysCommunity

This is a perfectly timed follow-up to to the discussion that PGI-VBCPS had yesterday on brain-based professional learning.

On July 1, I will be transitioning to principal of Glenwood Elementary in Va Beach. I’m looking for a 3rd & 4th grade teacher for 24-25 SY. If you will be in the area and are passionate about educating students, I would love to hear from you. VBSchools #futureGlenwoodPrincipal

So happy for my friend, Michelle Miller , to be recognized for her leadership! Way, way back, we had our first admin jobs together in the Dept of Technology, and she has always been amazing!
