Great day in London today with @teacherhead.bsky.social and @mattteachcoach.bsky.social. Really inspiring to work with the amazing @walkthrus.bsky.social team. Feeling really fired up about leading training and supporting schools to implement WalkThrus with precision.
Thursday's Three Things is back after brief hiatus for the 4th of July. Links to @dtwuva.bsky.social's first Substack post, designing inclusive classrooms from @teacherhead.bsky.social, and a consideration of context prompting with AI. episcopalacademyctl.substack.com/p/thursdays-...

Every time we make a new tune I think it could be our best yet... So here's the latest. Under the Clock I made this up about 20 years ago on the piano but Tom AP has just completed the lyrics and vocals. It’s rather beautiful. on.soundcloud.com/JVyw8AJ55qpc...

"Their assumption seems to be that if the student is present in the room, it’s their responsibility to engage, not the teacher’s responsibility to engage them." Spot on from @teacherhead.bsky.social on what being inclusive really means.
