I finally did it! I am the 2022-2023 TEACHER OF THE YEAR!!!! I've had this dream since 2016, and to finally achieve it feels surreal. @SamHoustonEl@GalenaParkISD ❤️🍎👩🏾🏫
Great to see these bilingual & ESL teachers who are part of our first cohort! As part of their degree, they receive funding to attend & present at conferences like this! #TCTELA23
I’m loving this session from fellow board member, Dr. Shona Rose. Modeling how to conduct meaningful writing conference, so that students take agency of their writing craft. ♥️

@pinatadirector reminded us multiple times that she grew up in Mathis, Texas—population 5,034. Her rural upbringing and knowledge of UIL made me smile. When our small town teachers tell us we have something to say, hope sprouts 🌱.

@TCTELA@ProfessorNana@tctela@ProfessorNana There really are no words to adequately share how impactful she was in the lives of so many teachers, readers, librarians. She touched my life. Sympathy and prayers to her family and closest friends.

Take what I know from research and what I know about children's texts. Balance that with what I know about DAP, standards, and individual needs. Voilà, I can teach literacy skills in purposeful, effective ways with children's texts as the springboard.

Man, when @JackieWoodson reads aloud, it's like smooth jazz, red velvet cupcakes, and a salted caramel latte collide! It's a beautiful thing; you have to hear it.
