Hey, Charlotte, NC! Excited to be here for the NCMLE conference.

Here's what I believe instructional coaches and leaders need to have expertise in to provide instructional coaching in today's classrooms. #edusky

See you soon, NC! 🫶🌟🔥🧡

When we lead with kindness, we create cultures where everyone feels valued, supported, and connected. Research proves that kindness fuels engagement, reduces stress, and fosters belonging—so why wouldn’t we make it the foundation? 💡 Lead with it. 💡 Live by it.

Schools and districts don’t go from good to great without kindness—and you don’t need a title to lead. Leadership isn’t just about strategy; it’s about connection. Read more here: www.orangesparrow.org/the-kind-voi... #GoodToGreat #Connection #Belonging #Kindness #BeKind #Education #GenZ #GenA

A3: incorporate moments of kindness and gratitude that involve our space, environment, and nature. Being intentional to create those experiences for our students learning. #buildHOPEedu

A2: bring learning to life and get kids outside. Every time we can get them out of the box it sparks innovation and creativity plus helps them see the healing power of nature and how it’s good for us #buildHOPEedu

A1: our kids are active members of society and it takes all of us to make this place a thriving and healthy space for all. They need to be informed so they take informed action. #buildHOPEedu

#BuildHOPEedu — Chris here and excited to be here tonight!

#TheKindnessTour visited Canyon Creek in Billings, MT—wow! We laughed, cried, and explored Gen Z/A & engagement. I'm grateful for the caring educators serving their community. Keep shining—I'm rooting for you! I'd love to help you—please reach out. #GenZ #GenAlpha #Connection #Belonging #Kindness

Loneliness isn’t just being alone—it’s feeling disconnected. 1 in 10 students have no friends. 50% of teens feel lonely. It’s as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. But there’s hope: kindness, connection, and trust can change lives. Let’s chat. I am ready to help you!

My God, I didn’t know those stats. Explains so much! #BuildHopeEdu

A4: I have a hope for connection. I think this will help with the loneliness issue as we deepen & foster in person connections. 1/10 kids say they’re friendless - 50% say they’re lonely. It’s equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day! I have hope for kids to foster friends & kindness! #buildHOPEedu

A3: adults are the dealers of hope & belief. Create spaces & allow them to connect, be scientists, solve problems, & goal set. Be the facilitator of learning & allow the students to do heavy lifting. Then celebrate their growth & progress. Use failures as a way to learn & grow. #buildHOPEedu

A2: I prioritize and balance. I ensure there’s a work-life balance! I have a journal that I write in a ton! I keep an online calendar. And I also listen to my body — when it feels good and when it’s time to step back and reset. Exercising and mindset too! 20 min walk can reset us! #buildHOPEedu

Q2 is coming up in 1 minute... #BuildHOPEedu

Kindness is crucial to being successful. The heart is so important! #BuildHOPEedu

A1: success is individual - at the core it’s being a good person with kindness, treating others the way we’d want to be treated. compassion of lending a helping hand to others. and integrity of doing the right thing when no one is watching. And achieving your goals and dreams! #buildHOPEedu

Today's Beacon of H.O.P.E. Jennifer Engbrecht - @prairiemusik.bsky.social Jennifer is a passionate, incredible educator, leader, mentor. Her curiousity, her innovation & energy are felt by all those who work alongside her. She shows the true beauty of nature & learning in unison. #BuildHOPEedu

“Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” —Jonas Salk #BuildHOPEedu

Hey #buildHOPEedu — it’s Chris! I am a Gen Z/A expert, culture guru, kindness spreader, and adjunct professor. I send all the peace and comfort to those in the fires. May we be aware of how we may support to help our fellow citizens. Kindness will transform communities. May we all help! 🫶

Misunderstanding builds walls. Understanding builds bridges. Want to create meaningful connections? Start by asking, listening, and showing patience. When trust replaces fear, real conversations happen. Let’s empower the next generation together. Learn more: www.orangesparrow.org #BeKind

You can’t reach Gen Z/Alpha without understanding them. It’s not about apps or trends—it’s about values, struggles, and trust. Start with connection, not control. Unlock their potential by leading with kindness. Let’s bridge the gap! www.orangesparrow.org #BeKind

I thought authority was enough—set rules, enforce them. But they pushed back. Then I listened. Their struggles, dreams—connection changed everything. Kids thrive on recognition, trust, and kindness. Ready to bridge the gap? Let’s chat. #GenZ #GenAlpha #Belonging #KindnessMatters

A1 #buildHOPEedu - I am currently in day 5 of hard 75. I want to move and read more. I also want to write a book in 2025. I want to continue to help, heal, serve, and lead rooted in kindness. I want to lead with more empathy and foster connection. Seeking to understand and assuming positive intent.

Hey #buildHOPEedu! Excited to be here. I’m Chris from OKC! I’m a Gen Z/A expert, culture guru, and kindness spreader. Also serve at university! New year presented new opportunities so excited to share a new full day PD tomorrow here in OK! Let’s go!

Day 1 of 75 Hard — accountability post! See you on the other side 🫶

Many of us are gearing up to go back later this week or next. As we embark on a new year/ semester, don’t forget the golden rule: treat others the way we’d want to be treated. Let’s spread kindness to our teams & communities. Our students want to be treated with kindness, too! 🫶

Happy Saturday, friends! 🫶

I purchased this cup for my nana, “the big cheese” more than 20 years ago at Disney world. When she passed it was gifted back to me. This morning, I’m channeling the big cheese ;). God rest her soul. Nana was the best 🫶 perfect for after the holiday!
