I recently created a Donors Choose campaign to get some new mallets, and two new xylophones. Would you please consider giving, or sharing? My students would love a chance to have more instrument time. https://t.co/cSC4JZECnn

Paraprofessionals deserve pay increase
As a former teacher in the Schenectady City School District, I can attest to the vital role paraprofessionals play in the education of Schenectady’s children.

@sft803 Ms. Evans is an incredible woman, and person to work with. She always does what’s best for the students and helps them no matter what. Some of our children would not come to school if it weren’t for her and her hard work every day. #sftParasRock

@SCSchools Our music teachers are awesome! #schenectadylearns #musicdepartment

[Elizabeth Irwin @Irwin_Music23]

Absolutely! I am loving learning about some responsive classroom techniques, can’t wait to find a full training. #schenectadylearns

What better way to raise awareness about Trauma Sensitive Schools than to talk to the stranger next to you on an airplane for an hour and a half?! Hopefully his students can benefit from all of the information as much as mine have! #TraumaInformed @SCSD_TraumaSens

Please help my classroom by sharing or donating to my project. Today is the last day that you can use the code LIFTOFF to have your donation doubled. I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/ahJwNvSHHu

So happy I got to learn from this man!

I started a donors choose project to get some recorders for my third grade scholars! If you use the code LIFTOFF, your donation will be matched up to $50! Thank you for considering helping my kiddos: https://t.co/ahJwNvSHHu

So proud of my kiddos with their performance this past Friday.

[Rebecca Benjamin @benjaminrebecc4]

Congratulations @Irwin_Music23 and the Pleasant Valley @SCSchools music department and students on an amazing winter concert!

[Mr. Shipley @MrShipleyDMS]

Take away from #TISC2018 , one of the biggest challenges to having a trauma sensitive school is understanding that often our staff has trauma of it's own. We have to take care of our teachers if we want them to take care of our kids.

[National Child Traumatic Stress Network @nctsn]

Memories of trauma are unique because of how brains and bodies respond to threat https://t.co/tkuZJa8aoq

[Elizabeth Irwin @Irwin_Music23]

Yes! The more people that know about ACEs and the impact on health and brain function, the better!

[Dr. Nadine Burke Harris @DrBurkeHarris]

So thrilled to be in #Scotland to create a #AceAwareNation!

[Elizabeth Irwin @Irwin_Music23]

Just had a great time at Assessment Cadre this morning. I’m so excited about the work that we are doing to prepare our children for life! #authenticassessment

[Elizabeth Irwin @Irwin_Music23]

This is why I try so hard to help foster resilience in my classroom. A score of 8 doesn’t mean the end.

[Dr. Nadine Burke Harris @DrBurkeHarris]

Loved this story about a determined mom who shows that halting inter-generational trauma and enjoying a happy, healthy life is possible - even with an ACE score of 8 out of 10: https://t.co/LstU9EtUow
