I remember being asked in an interview last year, “would I still welcome my students with customized greetings once they return?” My response remains the same, you don’t have to physically touch a child to actually “touch” a child. #thedopeeducator
WORDS MATTER-If life and death are in the tongue, watch what you say. Let’s stop conflating “loss of instructional time” w/ “student learning loss”. They are NOT the same. Once Ss and Ts have the time to reconnect & rebuild relationships we will see results we seek. I SPEAK LIFE.
I refuse to participate in anything that would punish our children for the pandemic. I will work to think creatively, extend grace freely, give students and staff space to reconnect and reimagine our schools as a places of healing, renewal and restoration. #FromPANdemic2CANdemic
Today, during the first-ever Virtual Championship Spelling Bee, students received a special message from Pine Forest High School graduate and #58 of the Tennessee Titans, Harold Landry, III. He declared them all champions! https://t.co/S9ekx76cYy
