Nearly one-third of public-school students are Latino, bringing unique cultures, traditions, and identities rooted in dozens of countries into our schools.

As we begin #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate Latino excellence in our schools & our work at ED.

Parents: Your child’s music program matters to you & them. How do you make sure it matters to administrators & other decision-makers? 🎺 🥁🎶

What a beautiful night to celebrate the new school year! Thank you @PtaPatton and all our panther families for coming out to our Back to School Bash!

[Help A Teacher @HelpATeacher]

Truth. 💯

[Rick Wormeli @rickwormeli2]

Just a reminder, educators: Creativity atrophies over time if we don't exercise it. To be effective and find meaning as teachers, especially if we teach the same thing year after year, we have to feed our intellectual and creative selves each year we teach. Doing so also helps us build empathy for our students and their first-time eyes. It's quite humbling and to professionals, that's Oxygen. So, take a course in a passion area, learn a new instrument, take up world-building online, write young adult or children's fiction or non-fiction, join an improv group, develop better metaphors/analogies for what you teach, mentor young teachers, and attend conferences. Here, there be Mojo!
