Today is a great day. The English teacher in me is excited about alliteration. All of me is excited about rejuvenation, hope, and unity. ♥️

From Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nobel acceptance speech. Stories are about one person saying to another, This is the way it feels to me? Does it feel the same to you?

One thing that hasn't changed: my excitement for the 1st day of school. I'm ready to see faces & learn names & start this journey. Yes, I'll totally fail at some of the technology. I'll figure it out. But, I'm all in! @TMIEpiscopal Can't wait to see y'all on Thurs!! ❤️

Thank you #Mosaic2020. I'm ultimately going back to school thinking about #students, #bestpractices, and #equity. #TMILearns

Today I was reminded about #protocols and the powerful conversations that come from using them @TMIEpiscopal. @SchoolReformInc is a fantastic resource. #TMILearns #ThreeLevelsofText

A post was shared with me about how to include "Screen Time" in a student's grading. While I will not post a link I did get a screenshot to annotate. No matter what, this is exactly what NOT to do!! #techquity #digitalequity #culturalrelevance #remotelearning

If I'm teaching online and you're a student in my class, what advice do you have for me? What do I need to know? What do you need me to do? ✍️ I'm listening!

[Alice Bilbrey @alice_bilbrey]

Just a reminder that teachers are not the enemy.
COVID-19 is the enemy.
You don't need to combat teachers.
You need to combat COVID19.

Stay home.
Wear a mask.
Social distance.

Thanks.

Wear a mask. That is all.

And maybe this applies to SO. MUCH. MORE.

My recent mindshift about curric and LPs for next year.
Instead of: This is the way I've always (more or less) done it, so I need to figure out how to keep doing what I've always done in these new times,
I'm thinking: How can I adapt and create what's needed for these new times?

[Alice Bilbrey @alice_bilbrey]

Tomorrow will be my husband's 5th 12 hour shift in a row. He's an RN in the ICU. This isn't the first time he's done this in the past several months.

Please wear a mask. Even better, stay home if you can. Thank you.

Keep watching and listening. I mean, read the books, too. But don't turn off the voices of the people who are doing good now. #blacklivesmatter
