@leannrimes when do you breathe when you sing “I love it when I hear him call me sweet baby such a beautiful dream”? I’m trying out for the Voice tomorrow and need major help!!! 🙈💙#lovesickblues
I miss the days when teachers tweeted, chatted, and wrote books about things like high expectation stategies, power standards, standardized test data, and rigor. The trend to taboo these terms in favor of education’s new trend words seems a bit like giving up. #ThoughtForTheDay
So many take-aways from today's @ACT workshop. Thanks @DaleCountyBOE and Ariton School for sending me. Can't wait to share with my colleagues! #ELAteacher#writing#live2love2learn
#AritonSchool 9th grade discussed the refusal of Odysseus in #socraticseminar. Ss were prepared for excellent discussion, raised intelligent questions of their own, referred to their text, & gave constructive criticism and feedback to their peers. So bright! #ProudT#ELAteacher

When I walk into a school, and it becomes obvious to me that the adults enjoy working there, I immediately suspect it is a good place for students. Strong staff morale reflects a strong culture... and that’s an environment that is good for kids... and their learning.
