This weekend, #ACCXVII graduated and earned our PK-12 admin endorsements! I’m so hopeful about the future of education when I think about the amazing leaders in this cohort and I am beyond grateful to this group who has truly become a family ♥️♥️ #CantBeDivided

In 1995, I started Kindergarten in @fcpsnews & attended FCPS K-12 until I graduated. After I got my teaching degree, I went back to FCPS to work as an educator, and this is year 8 as an FCPS employee!! Today is a big first as I finally get to be an FCPS parent 🤩 #FirstDayFairfax
Best job in FCPS!! Reach out if you’re curious ☺️

Man oh man do I wish I’d had explicit instruction around time management and deadlines as a young #ADHD student. I could have gotten to the systems I have in place now so much sooner!!

I want to tell you a little story, about one of my "high achieving" kiddos. And I hope it makes you think differently about "high achieving" students. Here goes.

Can't wait to dive deep into the Notorious CRT with @MsBraxtonTweets at Deeper Learning this year!!! #DL23 #DeeperLearning @hthgse @ShareYourLearn
Rewatched this today, and it’s still just as powerful as it was the first time I watched it.
So this went live today on TED.com.

This. Thread!!!
Twitter played a huge role in my growth as an educator. I was able to learn so much through #NoVAedChat and connect with so many amazing educators who work in my district.
I was also able to learn from so many other incredible educators that shared their wisdom on here for FREE.
The whole #ClearTheAir crowd… y’all are the best.
No matter what happens, I will always be so immensely grateful for everyone I have learned from on this bird app.
I am a better educator because of the learning that occurred from Twitter and the people I got connected to ❤️
