What do great nurses and educators have in common? @Principal_EL's hospital experience reminded him that the most powerful learning happens when students know someone cares. #edusky #nurses #students #teachers www.ascd.org/blogs/what-a...

Let’s put "greatness on the spot." Our profession needs more moments to celebrate what's working—and the educators making it happen. @victoriathetech.bsky.social
