I believe that the way humans act when in a community is taught, not managed. And that student behavior is a form of communication. Students usually act out (or retreat inward) when there are obstacles to their learning. Students' default position is learning. 2/
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
Wesley, an 11 y/o with severe anxiety, longs for a friend who understands him. So, when his wish made under a willow tree comes true & he befriends a spunky girl who shows him the joys of rural life, he must face the trauma of his past, or risk losing her. #wiplift#MH#kidlit
Sometimes I feel like being a #writer is like being a chef. I've got one MS in the oven, one simmering on the stove, one being prepped, and one idea marinating in the fridge.

The best teachers I've worked with are never satisfied. They are constantly questioning, searching, and fine-tuning their instruction to benefit their students. NO ONE has all the answers but we can all be questioning and searching. Our students deserve our collective best.
It’s score release day! Congratulations to all new National Board Certified Teachers & those still on their journey. Your dedication to accomplished teaching is inspiring! #NBCTstrong
We cannot, in good conscience or in good teaching, stand by & watch another generation be marginalized because we don't take action.
Inaction is agreement.
Inaction is racism.
Inaction is injustice.
Inaction is inhumane.
Inaction is not an option.
