Stopped by @tacobell yesterday after work and my student came out with my order like, “Ms. Watts?!” She was so excited to see me while working, and honestly, moments like that remind me why I love being a teacher. 🌮😂💕 #TacoBell #TeacherMoments #WhyITeach #IYKYK #LoveMyStudents

The school year started as a whirlwind but a meaningful one. First in-person doctorate classes of the fall semester in the books. Balancing teaching + doctoral work is tough, but I'm growing. We got this! #EdDJourney #DoctoralLife #TeacherLife #PhDLife #BackToSchool #WeGotThis

Y’all!!! This new schedule is killing me 😅 But it’s only week two and I know that I’m gonna I’ll figure it out lol. But Sheeeesh!!! #Teacher #Education #Educator #BlackTeacher #BlackEducator #GradStudent #teachersofx #Teach

Survived the first week back! It was exhausting, there was a lot of change, but also fun and full of the moments that reminded me why I love teaching. I’m excited for the year ahead! #BackToSchool #TeacherTalk #EducatorJourney #Teacher #Educator #BlackTeacher #BlackEducator

PD has kept me busy this week! New programs + curriculum mean starting fresh with my materials. It’s a lot, but also a chance to try new ideas. #TeacherTwitter #BackToSchool #ProfessionalDevelopment #Teacher #Education #Teachersof𝕏

Happy Thursday! I’m not back in the classroom yet, but my brain is lowkey already making back-to-school plans. #BackToSchool #Teacher #Teaching #TeacherTwitter #TeachersofX #BlackTeacher #BlackEducator #clearthelist2025 #School #Education #Educator

Just had a call with our EF Tour Director. We’re planning our school’s first trip to London & Paris in 2027! Teachers: Do your students travel? How does it work at your school? Would love your tips or stories! 🌍✈️ #MindfulMonday #EFTours #Travel #TeacherTwitter #Teacher #Teach

Last day of credit recovery, or what would be summer school for some. Ready to enjoy a little downtime before the school year kicks off. #CreditRecovery #SummerSchool #TeacherLife #TeacherSummer #EndOfSummer #BackToSchool #Teach #Teacher #Educator #BlackTeacher #BlackEducator

This quote by Mother Teresa hits home: “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” We all have something unique to offer. The real power is in what we can do together. #Collaboration #EducationMatters #TeacherThoughts #Leadership

I spent way too much time on my door decor today… and honestly, it made me happy. Will my students care? Maybe. Did I still go all out? Absolutely. Because this space has to bring me peace too. #TeacherLife #BackToSchool #ClassroomDecor #EduTwitter #Teachersof𝕏 #Teach #Educator

Teachers: What’s one classroom routine or procedure you always teach on day one? #teacher #Teachersof𝕏 #teachertwitter #Educator #BlackTeacher #BlackEducator #BackToSchool2025 #Teach #Education #Educate

Some of the best growth comes when things feel messy. That struggle? It means you’re figuring it out. #MindfulMonday #TeacherLife #GradSchoolLife #GrowthMindset #Teacher #Teachersof𝕏 #Teach

Nothing says Sunday scaries like walking into a store and seeing back to school stuff in every other aisle. Wasn’t ready. Still not ready. Might buy a cute planner or some flair pens though. #SundayScaries #BackToSchool #TeacherLife #EducatorHumor #Teachersof𝕏 #Teacher #Teach
