@andrewbfeldman Just saw @DearEvanHansen for the third time this year. @andrewbfeldman, your talent is inspirational! Thank you for telling this story in such a powerful way. Wishing you all the best in your next endeavor!
Just tried making a self closing cube. This is an awesome activity. Can't wait to challenge the 7s and 8s with it. Thanks @EnginePassion for sharing this. I love it! #hawksmakerspace
Congratulations to our four elementary PLTW coaches on their selection as @PLTWorg Master Teachers! We are so fortunate to have you supporting our implementation of the Launch program throughout the district. You have helped define the success of this program for @SmithtownCSD!
Congratulations, Ms. Schoepflin! Earning your National Board Certification is quite a distinction. We are so fortunate to have you as a valued member of the @SmithtownCSD faculty!
Thank you @SCSD_AMS and @SCSD_NMS for allowing me to participate in your @ChallengeDay programs this week. If you really knew me you would know how much I appreciate being able to get to know our amazing students. Grateful to all of the students who welcomed me with open arms!
Privledged to have spent the day with some amazing students and faculty members at the third @SCSD_GMS Challenge Day for 2018-2019! The kindness and compassion shown was truly inspiring!
"My kids didn’t get it yesterday, and I’m afraid they won’t if I move on. I know it’s important for the test. I don’t want my students to fail. I need to hammer it home."

We don’t define our success by our salary, our last promotion, or the zip code of our school. Our success is found in the difference we make for our students and for our colleagues. It is hard to measure, and it’s hard to quantify... but it is what gives our work true meaning.
We may not know the story of those we meet. We may not know all their joys or all their struggles. Recognizing this fact is the 1st step toward empathy. It is an important step toward elevating their humanity. It is the recognition that they do have a story... and it has value.
