Former student! Funny thing is that I didn’t even know his football talents. I knew him as an intellectual with a heart and mind bigger than you can imagine. Turns out he is the same way on the field! Not surprised but proud! #d90learns https://t.co/b4HO2uZDd8

Professional development widens a teacher’s circle and perspective. Spending this time at Harvard enriched me as a professional and as a person. Looking forward to lasting collaboration with this NYC educator! Learning opportunities never stop! #d90learns

Back from incredible PD in Berkeley, CA working with professional writers and film makers crafting digital stories. Loved being the learner! I’m jazzed to share with my 8th graders... Stay tuned to see what exciting things we do with our new storytelling knowledge! #d90learns
