Here's a short video to help develop a shared understanding. #edleadership youtube.com/shorts/h6CYS...
Schools lack a shared understanding. Here's how to create one.

As #edusky & other BlueSky teacher communities emerge, it's worth remembering that many educators left Twitter well before the Elon et. al toxicity period. Excessive self-promotion, lack of professional benefit, stress/burnout, noise, erosion of dialogue, etc. were all factors. Let's learn and grow.
