One I forgot to mention...
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Vaughn, Jason, and Patrick for earning Visual Design Specialist CC 2018 certification. This is only earned when you pass all 3 ACA 2018 exams ( illustrator, photoshop and Indesign). @HaysCISDCTE

Congratulations to Tyson of @Hays_Hawks in @HaysCISD. Tyson is the recipient of a brand new @trekbikes in partnership with @nationalmtb and local Trek Bicycles Lamar who received and assembled the bike.

Tyson, it is great to have you as a member of the @hayscc_mtb

Know your audience, and be concise. Some people don't need unnecessary details. Just get to the point, or you will lose your audience.

Dear PD coordinators, please offer pd that better identifies and provides solutions to how to work with students with ADHD and ADD.
It’s not just about extra test time for many of these Ss. This would have helped with my students and my relationship with coworkers.

@MrKingPayne Do you happen to know the name of the company or URL? Obviously, my email was deactivated but I do have old emails cached on my computer.

Did we ever do anything with that personality test we took in August 2021 - that we received multiple emails about - and our own code…
At least by mid-March 2022, I know nothing happened

All my life I’ve been known for my smile, and then I noticed it was gone.

Watching “To Sir, With Love” and it reminds me of the primary reason I left - I Stopped Having Fun. When I returned in ‘13, I could deal with wages less than what I knew I could make and behavior I didn’t agree with - as long as it was fun.

I was no longer pulling the energy I needed from the students around me. Now dealing with a particular class of students who drained me every other day and relying on the other classes to pick me back up.
I wasn’t angry - just done.

@NicholasFerroni I literally stated the same thing (without the numbers) before I left in March. So many people, especially women - under valued and under paid.

@FainPhysics Don't miss those, especially since we normally could not hear it in our building

My first new product introduction party at home - I usually would have it shown in my classroom during lunch. And I finally ordered an Apple Watch - the new Ultra.

Early Bday present!
