@fastcrayon@kourtneyferrua I too have a doctorate, and also always introduce myself by my first name, including in my email signature. Interestingly, in virtually all professional settings, I am referred to at Dr. Malmo, by everyone!
CA's students deserve to see themselves & their stories in the classroom. Today’s historic approval of a model #ethnicstudies curriculum empowers schools to uplift marginalized voices, achieve racial justice & create lasting change: https://t.co/z4zGxhS1Fl
@SenBobCasey Thank you for your tireless support of 211- a critical helpline for mental and human services. The HELP Act must be a part of any package that connects people to the help they need! #Team211#UWAdvocate

ALL kids are incredible. ALL kids are beautiful. ALL kids can learn and achieve. If we want our community to be truly great, our job as adult mentors is to keep reminding them and treating them as such... #AllMeansAll
Some of the most inspiring people I know are calm in times of stress, patient when others are struggling, quick to offer support, and lastly, make sure everyone in their orbit feels valued and appreciated.
When thinking about what kind of place we want our school to be, we should also think about what kind of place we want the world to be.
Education is hope for a brighter future and a better tomorrow. We aren’t just improving test scores, we’re changing lives for the better.
