New students = new circle guidelines! Prioritizing restorative practices in my classroom by following the 80/20 rule (80% of RP is community/relationship building & 20% is conflict resolution). Grateful to @PiRIRochester for their guidance and support!

Finished my second day of new teacher orientation today! What is something you wish all first year teachers knew/you wish you knew when you began? #newteacher

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Marsha P. Johnson was born on this day in 1945. Teaching her life's work presents an incredible opportunity to disrupt oversimplified narratives, uplift intersectional liberation movements and underscore the importance of the solidarity she demanded.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
