@HeatherL114 I feel this deeply.

At this point, I’m thinking we just tell him he won the election, put him in a fake White House on the back-nine of Trump National, give him a Diet Coke button and tell him he can sell whatever nuke secrets he wants for as long as he wants.
Close the door… and tiptoe away. 👀

@heymrsbond Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing your Brilliance.

[Ms. Oki @amyo13]

Just attended a student's funeral. My heart hurts.

[Ms. Oki @amyo13]

We didn't get a snap together, but we did share some yummy food. Always better when I spend time in your company, @NaseemRdz ! Shout out to Carla and Dan too!

Watching Coco Gauff win her first US Open was so emotional. Her tenacity on the court is inspiring, and how she uplifts humanity everywhere is special. I am crying with joy for her.

This is REAL!!!

[Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute @EquityLiteracy]

From our introduction chapter. Remember, every step toward equity eliminates inequity or cultivates equity. By itself celebrating diversity doesn't do either. We should celebrate diversity, but it can't become the high optics, low-impact fill-in for high-impact equity leadership.

This isn't even a humble brag.. this is real shit brag.... we're working this year toward learner identity--I wrote a grant for "identity through play". Purchased a whole host of new activities for recess that include opportunities for music, theater and art...the kids are joyful

@ValeriaBrownEdu This 51 year old loves them. The high waisted variety holds everything in!

My school was privileged to Zoom with @MsKass1 this morning for our back to school kick off. The humble Brilliance and nudge to discover our own efficacy was tremendous. What a gift! Thank you, Kass.

Slavery was pure and unadulterated evil. There is no "other side to the story."

[Ms. Oki @amyo13]

My brother just sent me this picture of my momma. I have never seen it before...the ones we love most have lots of moments that we know nothing of... that's a beautiful mystery to contemplate.

You will do your best work when you are supported and included. You will make up more career time working 6 months at the right place, than in the previous 6 years of daily hell.

And an inclusive team will not judge you for switching multiple times finding the right fit. 👍🏿
