My WHY… 25 years ago I sat in my first 6th grade class. It was NOT a “welcoming” environment. It was NOT designed for ALL learners. As a student with learning difficulties, I learned quickly to “shape up” or I would be shipped out. #thewindsormilldifference
Awesome session today with youth a North Bend School. We talked about the myth of Black criminality and how it influences perspectives. My partnership w/ I Am Mentality (@iammentality) is about providing an experience that speaks to the experiences of BIPOC boys. #sonofadream

Reading and literacy are needed to matter all other contents! I think we can all agree stronger readers make stronger scholars. #CHANGEonaMILLION#literacyinallsubjects

I’m so proud of my Reading scholars for taking the lead in the @wilsonlanguage Just Words program. They get so excited to participate and lead their peers in this exercise. I know that they can do anything they put their minds to do and now they’re starting to see that too.
