Absolutely fuck this. Paid leave for new mothers is a human right and necessary for a functioning society. The richest country in the world cannot claim to be great if we treat our most vulnerable citizens, newborns, like inconveniences in the churning gears of capitalism.

@jenlafren The best throwback! 😂

I miss eating lunch with my people, so we had a lunch date today! Look at Miss Nora ready to cook for us with her whisk! #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 #chs_lions #gameofgames

Twinning? As always the English dept had to overachieve 😉. #castleberryisd #chshomecoming #twinday #hallofmirrors

A5: Choice menus, project based learning with extensions, consistent TIMELY feedback, clear and high expectations for all students, stations with strategic grouping.

A4: No student left stagnant. #allmeansall4cisd #cisdedchat

[Mrs. Branham @CISD_Branham]

A3: Know your EL students and meet them where they are, but don't leave them there. I use data, goal setting, strategic grouping/seating, and small group pull-outs. Building trust is crucial as well. #CISDeduchat #allmeansall4cisd

@clgamage I love this idea Courtney! My college professor used to do this with me. I'm definitely going to add that this year.

[Mrs. Branham @CISD_Branham]

A2: Small groups/stations or an audio/video recording. Lots of encouragement and celebrating.

A1: My word for 2019-2020 is ENJOY. I have a tendency to become overwhelmed with stress/worry & I forget to enjoy the process and my students. #allmeansall4cisd #cisdedchat

@AnnissaShofner You saved ME! I could not have survived this semester without you. I will miss collaborating and chatting with you. 😊

[Nathan Lang-Raad, Ed.D. @drlangraad]

I asked a teacher recently, “What is the best Professional Development you’ve ever had?” He said, “it was when the principal gave us time to collaborate.”

Let’s not forget what teachers need most.

@anamariecox If you’ve already done S-Town and Serial season three... Conviction! Unlike most crime podcasts, there’s a central character on tape who’s fascinating. Gives it an extra oomph.

[Mrs. Branham @CISD_Branham]

7 books I love and highly recommend. (I’m behind on this challenge, so how about all 7 at once?) @Matherne_Edu @CamilleProffer - and I tag you @mrsmahand! #pleasedontjudgethetimetravelerswifebythemovie
