Teachers, you matter ❤️

Your influence through content.
The life lessons.
The impactful stories.
The hugs.
The smiles.
ALL of it.

You will be talked about years later in ways that will bring tears 🥹

Teachers matter!

The Decadeslong Travesty That Made Millions of Americans Mistrust Their Kids’ Schools - brilliantly summarized from the heart of a journalist and a mother failed by the system. The social contract with parents? Children leave literate for life. https://t.co/yiYlHMcNbA

@tiffanyphogan As someone who taught in the tiny little Reading Specialist program at TC, this is monumental.

We were dismissed and are now being looked to for leadership!

Never doubt that a committed group working to do better for kids can have immense influence.🙏 #SoR. #Itsworking

This ‼️ While we all want to be liked we all know that doing what is right for kids is not always the most popular or the easiest! In my experience having crucial conversations can be accomplished kindly & professionally! #CourageousLeadership #LeadershipMatters

@zachlanebryan I think it’s admirable that you were honest and accepted responsibility. You’re a great role model for all generations. We all make mistakes. You should apologize and move on from them. It’s life!

@educategalore @mr_Alsheimer He had a positively contagious attitude and ignited a fire to always do what’s best for our students.

Kids math data should be private. All those rocket ships and ice cream cones where they are in these competitive fluency races against each other does not motivate the ones who need it the most! Individual data binders where kids track their own data is what works!

[Virginia Arocha @ArochaVirginia]

@KJWinEducation @RightToReadFilm @Hunt_Institute @FulcrumLiteracy I agree!

[Virginia Arocha @ArochaVirginia]

@janhasbrouck I have a hard time believing her. I understand a new embracing moment that might be happening …but I still struggle with that letter…money can make us say and do many things. I guess anyone can change.

@missypurcell1 @rrcna_org Relying too much on the picture, nothing magical about that. It’s great to see all kids read but those decoding strategies are just scary because they are nonexistent.
