"We all have this chance...to muck about & do our best to figure out what we will hold onto & what we need to let go of. To learn some real things about learning that we wouldn’t otherwise...And that feels exciting & hopeful." New blog post from Kerry! opalschool.org/sharing-our-st…

@OpalSchool @PortlandCM Opal school was such a wonderful time in our lives. Sad to see it closed. Best to all the great people who worked and volunteered there.
@jnovakowski38 @OpalSchool Such sad news! I had the opportunity to visit Opal School twice. It has had a huge impact on me and inspired me to be a better educator and person. I have also appreciated the online workshops and I have learned so much. Thank-you for everything!
@OpalSchool @PortlandCM In my 20 years of teaching, my visit to Opal School was the most enriching and inspiring pro-d ever. So sad to learn it’s closing and so grateful to have experienced it. 💗
So excited to join with current @P_S_P colleagues and former @OpalSchool colleagues for this timely and important course! I know the course will push my thinking and our education work at People Serving People. Very excited to dig in!

@OpalSchool I'll be joining your courses just as soon as I've finished my latest training with @ChaptersInt ! Lining up the learning! Can't wait!
@OpalSchool Thanks! Another time we’ll make it work, I think it would make a great PLC focus for a small group to do together. #transformingteams
@OpalSchool Would love to do this with my new team, we’re on summer break now. Fingers crossed you run it again at another time. Sounds amazing 👏

Do this, teacher friends! Love the work of Opal School.
Regardless of the system in which you work, you can create beautiful learning because you are a human being who works with young human beings who are eager to see the beauty in the world, who want to be loved, and who are the embodiment of hope itself. bit.ly/2XniBdH
