Our 6th gr. Promotion was heart-warming and bittersweet. We will miss our students, but our kiddos are moving onward and upward to middle school. We r proud of all of them! #hvepride @HarborViewElem #promotion#middleschool
This is very sad for us! What a loss. We met LT COL Robert Friend @LyonAirMuseum1 at one of our Lyon Air Museum Fieldtrips. He was such a remarkable man. This WWII hero was warm and intelligent and talkative and he was happy to pose for photos with us. #tuskegeeAirmen

Empathy is a skill that combines self-reflective emotional awareness and the character practice of asking good questions and listening patiently and respectfully to peoples’ answers.

@edutopia The still-developing prefrontal cortex of our adolescent middle schoolers is behind my "absolutely not." They are just not ready yet. In high school I'm all about phasing with job-embedded teacher support.
As I got older, I realized:
1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever
2 learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower
3 you are not your job
4 networking is about giving
5 best teacher is your last mistake
6 good manners as important as good education
The most important qualities of any educator are not adequately captured on a resume. It is hard to quantify passion, energy, dedication, patience, perseverance, and love… but in the classroom… those qualities make all the difference in the world.
