Here's a video to give you hope & make you smile: our warrior princess Nusayba gave her liver donor @ShawnZed a hug today after ringing the bell. After 9 months of enduring stage 4 liver cancer, she is officially cancer free. I'm so proud of her. She is the bravest person I know.
I’ve had students call me mom, and I’ve had students say “So and so is basically you’re child.” I have had students tell me their life story, and not leave out any details. Some may think that’s weird, but I will do anything for my students. I will be their advocate. #passion
I’ve never met a high performing educator that doesn’t want to continue growing. Great educators deserve differentiated professional development and coaching that allows them to continue to flourish. Stifling great teachers is the easiest way to drive them out of the classroom.
Your work as an educator can’t be effectively quantified.
Not by test scores.
Not by evaluation ratings.
Not by value added measures.
Education is a human endeavor and your value is more than a number.
What you do matters.
You go above and beyond every day for kids.
