When I look back at my teaching
In year one - I didn’t get it
In year 5 - I didn’t get it
In year 10 - I thought I got it but I didn’t get it
In year 15 - I got it but I didn’t realize I got it
In year 20 - I realized to get it was to stay committed to continual growth
Your classroom is not just a classroom. It's safety, it's calm, it's comfortable, a place kids can relax, learn, and a place where love is. Your classroom is the answer to prayers some of your students have been praying! Your classroom is not just a classroom.

Poor grades do not motivate struggling students. Poor grades just makes students hate school even more.
What is motivating? Patience, Reteaching, Adults that Care, Second chances, Relationships.

Schools and school leaders that are currently operating in a “business as usual” mindset are causing extreme harm to teachers and students. Check ins and wellness sessions should be happening regularly.
‼️ If special education teachers are asked to spend the bulk of their time on helping with homework or assignments, they have limited time for actual intervention. Homework help ≠ intervention. ‼️ #LeadInclusion#udlchat#spedchat
Khloe and her grandmother's efforts to sponsor book drives for the local community were also recently featured on @GMA! You can view her spotlight at: https://t.co/oh3BJ09hTt
Khloe Joiner, a 3rd grade student at Palmer Elementary, hosted a Mask Up and Read Book Drive. Thanks to the 1,000 children books donated by @Disney after they heard about Khloe's local book drives, Khloe and her family were able to provide books to students at her school!! 📚
Just a reminder: kids don’t need fancy. They just need to see someone doing the right thing.
Don’t stress over the perfect digital lesson. Just teach with your whole heart like you always have.
