@teacherbriant Preparing yourself, I imagine…

@AfroFlytina I noticed him watching me during a date, & I wasn’t used to guys paying close attention. I asked why he was staring. He just smiled said “I adore you.” He prayed over me that night as well. Married 16 years on 7/9. ❤️ Still 1 of my best decisions ever.

@jasongrant777 Hi, Jason. Are you a member of Design Gigs for Good via Google Groups? Or another group - Social Enterprise Jobs? They post great jobs & opps daily. I’ll send information, if you’d like. Let me know!

@angelettecarter @reachjulieroys Angelette, I can’t even imagine. My deepest sympathies to you! Nothing like that should’ve EVER been allowed to happen. Sickened to see this & had to say something.

My husband loves teaching. Stories like this?! All the feels. 🙌🏽❤️

[Brian Thompson @teacherbriant]

I had a student I taught 12 years ago come up to me today and say “thank you…my success today all started in your journalism class when you believed in me” and honestly, I told him thank you for letting me be your teacher. Best. Feeling. Ever.

@BethMooreLPM Your very words ARE the green scallop-edges that you described on those herb plants. “And greater works shall you do..” remember that Promise? You SHALL SPRING FORTH, boundless & brave as ever! God bless you! ❤️

This year has been one of the hardest of my 15 but it’s been hard on the kids, too. I understand that better than ever today. If you got this far thanks for reading! S/O to @BehaviorQueen for the sticky note lesson

[Brian Thompson @teacherbriant]

... and just wanted a break. The last one isn’t from GA & misses home. I wrote encouraging notes back to them. “I don’t know what you’re feeling but I’m here for you.” “I accept you.” “ I haven’t seen my parents in 1.5 yrs so I understand.” “Keep going. I believe in u”👇🏾

[Brian Thompson @teacherbriant]

So, I passed out sticky notes and said, “This is between you & me. If I can help, let me know. One student misses her mom who she doesn’t live with anymore. Another wanted to be accepted for their identity. One wanted grade help. Another feels the pressure of work and school...👇🏾

[Brian Thompson @teacherbriant]

Most said yes. Some said no. My follow up question was: “What is something someone could do for you today that would make you feel loved? Of course, there were jokes, but a few responses broke my heart. “Give me a hug,” “Listen to me,” “Ask me how I’m doing.”👇🏾

[Heather Thompson @IAmCoachHeather]

Read this. Then, share it, please. Most of all, implement it. 🙏🏽

[Brian Thompson @teacherbriant]

Every day, @JeffCher tells the students and faculty “You are safe. You are loved.” Every day I do a temperature check with my students and, I’ll be honest, I breeze through it some days. Today, I did a poll. “Do you feel safe today? Do you feel loved?” 👇🏾

@HeatherTDay It’s the unashamed vulnerability for me, especially at his age. Much respect to him. May his future match respect that & not abuse it.

[Heather Thompson @IAmCoachHeather]

@HeatherTDay Is the alternative...”closedly” Black? Concealed while Black? Asking for my(also openly Black)self. 🤔

[Heather Thompson @IAmCoachHeather]

@authorbriant Hey! How was I to know?! 😂

@SWS_FASTLab Years ago I was broke and needed to get home. A regular where I bartended gave me a check for $300 & told me to pay it forward. Two years ago my neighbor needed to get home to her dying mom. I knocked on her door and handed her a check for $300 w/a note saying the same.
