I'm honored to serve @PWCSNews students, families, educators, staff & communities. As a daughter of immigrants, I understand firsthand the importance of working toward a shared vision to keep equity at the center of a world class education.
Congratulations to Mr. Troy Washington who will be joining our administrative staff in the role of Assistant Principal! Welcome aboard Mr. Washington! #GainesvilleCardinals
@alixandra27@lshorb1 @terrinwatson @CarlaShedd Ts should be able to grow and improve their practice as a result of RJ, perspective should be taken to consider the experience of students in our care. However, if the “victim”/“wrongdoer” is overly relied upon it will no doubt perpetuate racial inequities.
@alixandra27@lshorb1 @terrinwatson @CarlaShedd Hmmm...this is really thought provoking. RJ is most effectively utilized with the lens that all “harm” represents a failed or fractured relationship. I think when effectively conducted the student’s voice is considered and valued as equal to that of the teacher.
@alixandra27 And it’s funny most BIPs are written to actually focus on teacher antecedents and consequences AKA the way teachers engage and respond to student behavior
The plans are literally made for the adults
@alixandra27@erika_kersey I think there is something to be said about having a DEEP understanding of the system that you wish to disrupt. At least that’s what I told myself. Keep questioning and fighting for progress!
Amanda Gorman, 22, is the youngest inaugural poet ever in the U.S. She finished writing her poem late into the night of the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.
Here's an excerpt.

@rbpkms AMEN! Just calling kids out publicly at all...why?
If we were in a staff meeting would you want to be called out publicly if you weren’t meeting expectations? Or would you prefer a private conversation?
Let’s treat kids the way we want to be treated.
Acts of domestic terror occur every single day and are a part of the very fabric of American life. These acts are the product of racist policies that create a false sense of “law and order”.
Open your eyes, take actionable steps, and address these issues where you live.
Crazy to me that people are surprised by what occurred yesterday at the Capital.
This. Is. America.
We live in a country in which our citizens experience two different realities based on the color of their skin every single day.
Yesterday is just another example of the double standard. But please understand white supremacy, white privilege, systemic racism is fully engrained in our society.
Be angry, be shocked, be disgusted but please don’t be surprised.
