I've paused on commenting on children's drawings because, like everyone, I've been watching what's happening in America. Anything I say feels inadequate. All I know is that the world has to change. Power structures have to change. White people have to change. #BlackLivesMatter

@chocookat_ @USPS So is my dad. They have done nothing to help prevent spread. They haven’t cut down the number of employees (having them all go in at different times to make it 10 or less at a time), no masks, etc. if anything they will be over worked as usual because mail overload.

The most effective teaching strategy or classroom management tool is building relationships with your kids. That’s it.

[TooDopeTeachers @TooDopeTeachers]

Winter break is coming; many of us looking forward to it, many of our students not so much. But don't walk with guilt. Use your privilege of 2 weeks off to recharge for the young people who look to you daily. We don't rest bc we hate the struggle. We rest bc we stay ready.

Amazing conversations with @DianaLaura1102 @dar_lop5 and @JonathonPuIIiam today! #NewDopeTeachers are powerful and committed. Thank you! Check out #episode53 in the next couple of days!

Are you a school leader? A white teacher? Or an early service teacher of color? Get ready for a new installment of #NewDopeTeachers. We chop it up with 4 early service teachers of color. Listen and learn if you want to know what we bring and how to keep us!

When you establish relationships with your students and their families, you get to familiarize yourself with their lives and deepen your relationships that much more! #understanding #teaching

Why are mailman out past 10pm?! Working them 15+ hours is wrong.

[Darlene Lopez @dar_lop5]

I love having the Remind app! I was able to wish all of my students and their families a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday! It’s the little things that build amazing relationships.

We all have a gift . . . Purpose . . . Let that resonate with you ➕
