We’re celebrating the amazing teachers in Arkansas! Thank you for all that you do for students! Check out this special video message from Arkansas Department of Education Commissioner Johnny Key at https://t.co/DyLgj7Egfk. #TeachersInspireAR#TeachArkansas
Dr. Ivy Pfeffer, ADE deputy commissioner, would like to thank teachers for the difference they make in the lives of students everyday. Check out her Teacher Appreciation Week video at https://t.co/4ldYp3GpPx. #TeachersInspireAR#TeachArkansas
I am convinced that the most important thing we can do as educators is simply love our kids! See them, know them, and love them first! Love them big! When we do that, everything else will fall into place! #JoyfulLeaders#CelebrateMonday

I cannot emphasize enough the power of using personal storytelling in your teaching. It adds value, motivation, interest, and overall gives your lessons more “Wow” factor.
