Honored to work alongside my fellow ILC @ItsJustLez and 16 incredible educators from @mata_school , @HsmaWorld, @montessori_hdz and #dealeydisd
Can’t wait for our first ever Dallas ISD Montessori conference in January.
@DISDMagnets@TransformDISD @ILCsDallasISD
Our new sign arrived today! We are excited about Mark Twain School for the Talented and Gifted! We are still accepting applications for incoming 1st-5th grade students. Admission Testing is weekly on Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m. 724 Green Cove Ln Dallas, TX 75232.
When educators are concerned about all kids, not just their own, and when the teacher next door’s success carries as much joy as their own, then we begin to cultivate and build the type of systems where children and adults thrive. It starts with deeply caring about each other. ❤️
Visited @THeightsTAG today and was able to talk to two 4th graders. They couldn't stop talking about the story they read in class. The joy in their eyes doesn't happen by accident. It happens through purposeful planning and allowing students to drive the learning. @ILCsDallasISD
Love it. We have to be willing to give our students opportunities that we may not have had. Thank you for giving your teachers the freedom to take measured risks.
At my daughter’s soccer practice and the football coach next to us yelled at his players: “It’s never good to be good when you can be great.
Now run!” @ILCsDallasISD
I’m reminded of the Greek hero Aeneas. After the fall of Troy, he didn’t know where his people would go. But he led them. Little did he know that he was taking his people to a new land which would one day become
Rome. We are called to be like Aeneas. @ILCsDallasISD
“Destiny doesn’t make appointments. It usually shows up...unannounced. And it often knocks quietly, so you have to listen carefully. It shows up in a magazine, in a meeting, in a lecture...” -Mark Batterson in Chase the Lion. @ILCsDallasISD #coaching#Leaders#teaching
We encourage teachers to dream big and dare to do the unimaginable. To give their kids a learning experience they will never forget. As school leaders, do we have the same expectations of ourselves? @ILCsDallasISD #teachingleaders#education

@MrsGilmerELA @BandaBookChat Yes. One thing I miss about teaching writing is the times we would change the POV in a story. Also, changing the gender of the narrator is a great activity. Forces students to really step out of the only world they’ve ever known.
From Confucius’ Analects. 1:16 “Don’t worry if people don’t recognize your merits; worry that you may not recognize theirs.”

We often find what we are searching for. Take time this week to look for the small successes. The good in people. The learning opportunities in the struggles. @LEAD_DallasISD @ILCsDallasISD
