On a recent flight I watched the movie “A Million Miles Away” and just realized today I’m getting to listen to Jose Hernandez, who the movie is based on! Very cool way to end #ASCD24 Conference! Mahalo ASCD

Kicking off the ASCD conference in Washington DC with CEO Richard Culatta! #ASCD2024

Today I sat w/ a student in my office while she cried, worrying about a family member recently hospitalized.

Then I watched her crush it at her jazz band concert tonight.

Idk what level that is on a state assessment but I do know that kind of resilience matters, too.

HASCD kicked off 2024 with our PD conference on Jan 8 with Jimmy Casas and Joy Kelly. Over 270 educators from across the state joined to learn more about how to #recalibrate the culture and care. Mahalo Jimmy Casas and Joy Kelly for an awesome day! - Jensen Ball #culturize

Every student is one caring adult away from achieving greatness! Jimmy Casas Joy Kelly Hawaii ASCD

My heart is full this holiday season! A big mahalo to the Gary Sinise Foundation for allowing me the opportunity to volunteer and be part of Snowball Express 2023. This 4 day event brings together families of fallen military and first responder heroes

Honored to be given get a sneak peak this summer and then asked to write a short blurb in the new book Leading Impact Teams: Building a Culture of Efficacy and Agency by Paul Bloomberg and Barb Pitchford. I hope every educator gets the chance to read it!

I’m so excited that Weston Kieschnick has made this for educators! 20 of the top engagement strategies! Hawaii teachers check it out and let me know if you want more info on how to get this. #808educate #edu

Success is not an accident.
Relationships matter.

Nearly every successful person can trace their success back to a relationship with a caring adult who believed with relentless tenacity in their ability to succeed.

A great day of learning for over 1400 educators in Aiea, Moanalua and Radford public schools! #HI4PublicEd

Maui has been hit hard the last few days with something no one could ever imagine would happen. How can you help? Friends at Hawaii Community Foundation set up Maui Strong to accept donations and efforts to support Maui families. Consider donating at hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong #Maui #Hawaii

What better way to start the first day of school than with the magic of Disney inspiration!

A giant “mahalo” to all the attendees for this day. The educators in Hawaii are compassionate and dedicated professionals.
