J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 20/04/2025The way that we came to understand love was that he laid down his life for us; we too must lay down our lives for our brothers. I ask you, how can God’s love survive in a man who has enough of this world’s goods yet closes his heart to his brother when he sees him in need? 000

If they refuse to put forward an offer that includes any Democratic input and they don’t get Democratic votes—that’s on Republicans.

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 12/12/2024"Yet another" cold morning? You're asking when will warmer weather arrive? Really? It has been warm well into December and we didn't even really get the Oct/Nov cold snap that's expected each year. The question should still be when will colder weather arrive and stick with us. 110
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 09/12/2024First, don't conflate disagreement and differences in policy opinions with polarization. Second, don't assume all parties come to the table in good faith when disagreement arises. Finally, don't negotiate when all options are bad -- especially when they are neglectful or discriminatory. 010

Reposted by J, Just JLee Ann Jung @leeannjung.bsky.social · 03/12/2024If we go to the trouble to create an accommodation for one student who has an IEP, why not just offer it to everyone?

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 28/11/2024To be clear: that doesn’t mean we tolerate unconscionable actions or attitudes. However, we have to work long-term to secure the success of our society. We don’t give up on our neighbors but we also don’t tolerate them when they are being hateful, hurtful, and willfully ignorant. 000

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Thankful for my closest loved ones today! I’m also thankful and grateful to love the work I am privileged to do in schools and communities every day — but I always try to remember to keep the main thing the main thing. Thank you to my better half for being the amazing mother and partner she is! 010
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I will have to disagree -- but you've got to frame the observation. Is the observation occurring strictly for evaluative or compliance purposes (to check a box)? Or is the observation one piece of a coaching and improvement cycle. In a well designed cycle, the observer and the observed both grow. 100

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 26/11/2024"Rural Americans already have far less access to higher education than their counterparts in cities and suburbs.

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I’m trying to get better! I was big into it when I first got the invite to join but life has been life. Still a much better feel over here even though we’re still trying to drive engagement. 010
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Excellent thinking — keep the tool applicable and relevant! I’m curious about what your data analysis looked like with ChatGPT support. Was it above and beyond what your data system provides or does the school not have a centralized data analysis suite? 100
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 25/11/2024One of the simplest ways we cultivate gratitude is through the sharing of "good things". We do this with kids and with adults -- our regional superintendents group also starts meetings this way! When sharing with kids, model being thankful for small or everyday things. #EduSky #RuralEdChat 000
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Gratitude can shape the culture in your school. In this week of thanks, what are some of the ways gratitude is expressed in your school or community? How does your school or community cultivate gratitude? Share your stories! #RuralEdChat #EduSky 140

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 30/08/2023Looking for some 🍎 ideas! I am trying to grow our community engagement and outreach efforts this year and am emphasizing adding value (not just doing new things).

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 24/08/2023There are probably other ways but I'm fairly certain you could implement the tried and true # in that situation -- so the algorithm would specifically be looking for "#lfc". 010
J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 22/08/2023Are there any key practices that came from ghus committee that you could highlight?

J, Just J @jlclander.bsky.social · 22/08/2023Sorry, been on a social media hiatus because of life. Did you figure this out? Effectively, this is just the keyword(s) you want the algorithm to search for when populating your feed -- would have been the words after the # on Twitter. 220
