During a classroom lesson today…Me: I am your school counselor! What does that mean? Student: It means that you love us and help us when we need it. #Nailedit

Pride Month is about uplifting joy, centering celebration and honoring its origins of protest. We wish a happy Pride to all queer educators, students and communities—and we will continue to demand LGBTQ-inclusive spaces year-round.

Typical Friday in the life of an elementary school counselor. #FavoriteCharacterDay #ScaredySquirrel

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.

It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

#ReadAcrossAmerica Day is next week. Many schools still spend the week centering Dr. Seuss. But it's important for educators to understand and discuss his history of racist caricatures—and think about the message sent when he's celebrated uncritically.

"As a parent and educator I can help dismantle systemic racism." One teacher and mom shares tips for how White teachers can support meaningful change through their teaching practice.

"Studying Black history helps students understand how failure to acknowledge past truths reinforces the status quo—a clinging to structures rooted in oppression."

Had our 1st We Got This! book club meeting! Powerful conversations full of vulnerability, reflection, & a motivation to do better for our students! Huge thanks to @MaineTOYA & @tedlund1 for their support with planning & funding & to author @MisterMinor for sparking action!

Can’t pull my kid away from How I Became A Ghost by @tim_tingle and he wrote more in his reader’s journal than I have ever seen him write in one sitting. AND it’s inspiring him to learn more about the Trail of Tears. So many wins.

Getting so much out of the @BoysToMen training I’ve been taking part in. As adults, we need to understand consent so that we can teach and role model it for students.

This was me yesterday on our first student day. Wearing my game face under my mask. Students and staff were AMAZING! Lots of kids and adults walking in appearing nervous but leaving happy.❤️

[Brianne Gallagher @BriGallagherSC]

We will likely move quickly on this. So if you are considering, please apply right away!

[Brianne Gallagher @BriGallagherSC]

I've advocated a long time for this! Consider coming to join me in Southern Maine! Let's do amazing things together! https://t.co/FZJs8ns5br

“You can actively teach being antiracist by discussing and pointing out that hierarchy and creating more of a communal learning environment where you are creating a mutual respect between you and your kids.” @AkieaG

Allow me to demonstrate!

No bean bags. No rugs. No cozy talking corners. No problem. Covid will not keep me from creating an inviting office for my students!

[Brianne Gallagher @BriGallagherSC]

@tedlund1 Can you imagine?! We would set that place on 🔥!

I’m so not into policing the way student’s come to class. Wanna attend from your bed? Cool. In your car in the Target parking lot? Great. Wrapped up in a Sesame Street comforter? Stay warm.

Listen I’m just happy you showed up.
