“Why” did I become a coach? To ignite educators passion for the profession, so they can inspire the next generation of leaders! @dallasschools #DallasISDAIM @engage_learning #engage2learn

I can officially cross “co-author and publish a book” off my bucket list! Our social-emotional health workbook for middle school is hot off the press and officially for sale! Shout out to our awesome team, and @momentousinstitute for this incredible opportunity! #ChangingTheOdds

The principles of government in action! Students went thru an experiential learning activity to understand the legislative process, and created bills they want to become “law” in our classroom. Final step of the process is students exercising their right to vote!

If you have a student who is taking a big test this week, check out my video for simple strategies they can use to help them worry less so they can do their best! https://t.co/tzNZEYQKBA #testprep #teacherlife #socialemotionalhealth #justbreathe #studentsuccess #STAAR

Looking to help a fellow middle school teacher find books with black main characters - any suggestions? #BookRecommendations #middleschool #reading #teacher #blacklove #drama #supernatural #realisticfiction #horror #books

Take a moment to pause and reflect on one thing you are grateful for - it can be something big, or small! Today, I am grateful for beautiful sunrises on my morning run (and my new bright running shoes to match!) #Gratitude

https://t.co/zNuHTq0rFj sometimes "less is more" and there are times where it is okay for us to take a step back and rest/recharge. Too many chefs in the kitchen causes chaos! #UNTD5300

Maybe I’m just a big teacher nerd, but does anyone else get a rush out of making a well-organized handout?! Now let’s hope the printer is actually working so I can bring my handout to life! #teacherlife

“When a black teacher and a white teacher predict the outcomes of the same black student, the black teacher typically has higher expectations... and higher teacher expectations matter” #UNTD5300 https://t.co/WLfotpW4Ef

[SFolkenED @EdFolken]

Giving students choice in the classroom is one of the easiest ways to foster empowerment and autonomy in the classroom. Love these choices for morning greeting! #UNTD5300

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

The most effective #SEL is S.A.F.E.
Sequenced, step-by-step development
Active forms of learning (role play & behavior rehearsal) to practice skills
Focused teaching committed to long-term integration
Explicitly target specific competencies & include skill in learning objectives

[SFolkenED @EdFolken]

It’s so important for us to “chase the why” behind behaviors in our classroom! Usually dysregulated behavior is a sign of something deeper rooted happening in that child’s life #UNTD5300
