It was exciting to be in Philadelphia this weekend to feel Philly Pride in the home of the Eagles (#FlyEaglesFly) and to participate in another Educon hosted by Science Leadership Academy: @DonBuckley kindly took this picture of me upon arriving at 30th Street Station.

More to think about from @MrChase @dlaufenberg: How do we support systemic change? What are some available resources? How do teachers get support from admin and give/get support to/from each other? #educon #edchat pic.twitter.com/dN20Tyej9M

We need to also encourage boys to dance and write and paint. Not just girls to code. Who decided that coding was so much more important? #educon
