Having the opportunity to teach this group of students makes my world shine a little brighter because I know there are people that care about the future of our Latinx students and will create new classrooms so they can have an opportunity to an equitable education. #johnsonproud

Being able to teach my students the importance of kindness and treating everyone equally is far more rewarding than anything else I could teach them academically. #johnsonproud #sped #duallanguage

Choice has been shown to be a high motivator of reading. How are you providing reading choices to your students?

[Dr. Marcia Tate @drmarciatate]

Don’t quit on a goal just because your plans to reach it didn’t work out. What you’ve learned is that your plan needs to change—not your goal! Get back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan. #edchat

Landing on Mars is a rush of tension, drama, and noise. Then, when the dust clears: tranquility and grandeur.
