In short, #LoveMySchoolDay is a world-wide event, and it is making a huge impact around the world.The 411 on 4/11
The reason that #LoveMySchoolDay is scheduled on April 11 every year is not to be one day that we tell our story. April 11 (aka 4/11) serves as our reminder that we must tell the real 411 (true information) about education, and that it is not failing. Education around the world is actually doing great things, but we, educators, must be reminded that we are the chief story-tellers, and we must show the world what we are doing for kids and the communities we serve.

The hope of #LoveMySchoolDay is that educators across the world will unite to create a new and is a springboard to leverage the power of social media to inform as well as inspire our school community.
We all aspire to improve the entire culture of education. We want to create a school culture where teachers are empowered to share on social media the reasons that they love to work in their school. We want teachers, principals and superintendents to share the great learning taking place. The ultimate goal is to change the perception that people have about school. If parents and community members can see evidence of great learning on a regular basis, then the school can generate stronger partnerships.
