Some parents judge schools by the test scores. But there are a lot of parents who judge schools by the attitude of their child when they get home in the afternoon. We need to be working to raise student achievement… but we also need to be creating good experiences for kids.
African American males don’t need more discipline, they need more mentors in schools.
Ss can’t read, we teach them. Ss can’t add, we teach them. Ss can’t behave, we kick them out of class. WHY? @drnickimath is rocking this keynote today! @UHCOE#CAMT19
Superintendent emailed me. Here is his signature line.
Expecting a kid to learn only from a textbook is like asking them to look at a travel brochure and calling it a vacation.
Just like all students are capable of learning, every teacher is also capable of learning. Develop the mindset that everyone in the school is a learner, not just the students. We must test our own beliefs and practices and continue to grow and change. #edchat#FutureDriven
A leader is someone who believes in you and helps you believe in yourself.
A leader doesn’t change you, but a leader does create conditions where you can change yourself.
Leadership is helping others succeed. #FutureDriven
Dear Students,
Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. Your intelligence is defined by your willingness to learn and try new things. You are more than a number. You are a brilliant person with unique ideas. Share them!
Sincerely,
Your Teachers ❤️

For some students, school feels like a constant reminder of weaknesses. I had a student recently tell me how stupid she is. It was heartbreaking to hear. Students desperately need to have their strengths recognized. It's not "Are you smart?" It's "How are you smart?"
Amazon provides a service, correct? People pay for the service, which is excellent, and the company profits. I’m not sure the verb “take” is quite appropriate in this case. @amazon thank you for providing excellent customer service.
Amazon is paying $0 in taxes on $11+ billion in profit.
$0 for schools.
$0 for firefighters.
$0 for infrastructure.
$0 for research and healthcare.
Why should corporations that contribute nothing to the pot be in a position to take billions from the public?
