Great schools are not built by the talents of few but by the talents and passion of many.

We don’t pick and choose students to support and advocate for.
It’s every student.
Everyday.
All year.

The best way to bring groups of Americans together is to eliminate inequities between groups. We have much work to do. But to get the work done, we need hope, empathy, love, and a radical commitment to evidence, justice, and community. We can do this.

Decision makers in K-12 education should be required to spend one day working in each of the programs in their districts, both as a teacher and a paraprofessional.
How can you make decisions in good faith if you don’t legitimately know the day-to-experiences of your educators? – at Brooklyn Park, MN

If someone’s good at something, just say it. You won’t lose anything by complimenting them and affirming truth. – at Chicago, IL

I dream of a system where instead of kids asking,
“Is this gonna be graded?”
They ask,
“Is this gonna help me grow?”
Kids ain’t to blame. We created the script. We can change the script.
Time for a new conversation.
Change the conversation. Change the system.

This year I am putting together a digital sub binder using Google Slides. I have a QR code posted that links directly to my sub plans. I can update anytime, anywhere! No more 5am trips to school for me! @LCISDeast #EEpirates @GoogleForEdu @lcp_it #pirateinnovation @SlidesManiaSM

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.
It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

Friends... You know that thing people do, where they recommend books about boys to everyone and books about girls only to girls?
It's 2020. Could we make it a point to stop doing that?
Great stories are great stories. And stories about kids of ALL genders are for ALL kids.
