"I knew she was different than the chanting mob outside, I knew because of the way she treated me, She made me feel safe, I knew that I was loved because of her, I did not want to miss a day, Everyday she greeted me & made my day special" @Rubybridges1960

@DanWuori DAP must be at the forefront of everything we do! Let them play, let them talk, let them choose. A focus on student autonomy is crucial BUT our Ts need training on what this actually looks like.

#ThoughtForTheDay Teachers don't appreciate admin issuing global messages about staff behavior. They don’t want a universal address; they want us to instead deal w/the individual teachers. The same is true 4 students. Deal w/the offenders, not the entire group. #HandleWithCareEDU

As schools release their plans for the fall I'm not even sure how to react. The amount of volatile reactions and finger pointing from teachers and parents is astounding. I fear this will be a devastating time for many school communities on so many levels.
