HS English teacher, leader, and life-long learner. Let's bring curiosity, joy & empathy to learning. Opinions my own.

“Critical thinking and clear communication are two of the chief skills that secondary schools are charged with teaching, and the school newspaper is a crucial tool for cultivating both,” writes @MargaretRenkl. https://t.co/LMJfIxhs6J

@katekilla Yikes! Too much of that was acceptable back then.

So grateful to @MargaretRenkl for penning this tribute to teachers. It's no fun being in the crosshairs of the culture wars. To protect our democracy, we must protect teaching and learning. #teaching #bannedbooks #englishteacher #APLang #ncte

Even the best teachers who seem to have it all together still need encouragement, support,and to know they’re appreciated and the same is true for administrators too.

Congratulations to the @KUHoops team on winning the national championship. This team was fun to watch, and they earned their first title since 2008 (which was a pretty good year).

Thank you @CollegeBoard @AP_Trevor and AP teachers across the nation for clearly defining the values of AP classes -- they represent the foundations of any quality liberal arts education. That is what we want to uphold! https://t.co/dP9BU4bypU
