“There is no learning without having to pose a question.” What an awesome way to start day 2 of #KEDCgrants Elevate Summit learning from Dan Rothstein. Teaching students how to ask questions is perhaps the most impactful thing teachers can do. KEDC Grants KYCharge

Finished up day 2 at the #kedcgrants Elevation Summit and I’m so excited about the opportunities with the Ohio River Valley Innovation Learning & Library Enrichment (Orville). So many resources and so many ways to get involved. KEDC Grants KYCharge

Today’s opening session at the #kedcgrants Elevation Summit is all about the power of storytelling & was confirmation of what I’ve been preaching for years: using stories to impart information shouldn’t stop in Kindergarten. KEDC Grants KYCharge

Fascinating session learning about the history of St. Louis from Dr. Campbell. It really is a city with a story that needs to be told. #KEDCgrants KEDC Grants KYCharge

The last session I attended today at the #KEDCgrants Elevation Summit addressed issues related to student discussion. The DBQ Project always provides the best strategies for improving student learning & today I got to add two new ones to my teacher toolbox. KEDC Grants KYCharge

It’s not a highlight reel, it’s highlighting the REAL at #KEDCgrants Elevation Summit today. Every single session left me with tools and strategies to use as I prep for next school year. KYCharge and KEDC Grants are critical for growth for KY Ts and outcomes for KY students!

Perhaps the best thing about KYCharge are the connections you make with other educators. No matter what school or district we teach in, we are all working toward a common goal: improving education for students in KY. Fun times after a day of learning! KEDC Grants

Love when the organizations I’m involved with crossover, so when the opportunity arose to do a tour of Mary Lincoln’s house for the #KEDCgrants Elevation Summit, I had to make my Ford's Education fam proud! A fascinating history & story! Thanks KYCharge for the chance to see history.

On this #WomensEqualityDay, we honor Clara Barton, who became the first woman in federal service to receive pay equal to her male colleagues. "I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay."
