I completed the Operation Underground Railroad Signs of Trafficking course https://t.co/mExYcVnjsg
The training is simple and easy. I encourage every educator to take the time to complete this course. Our students need our advocacy.
Look who I just happened to bump into as I stumbled into a leadership presentation he asked me to do - It's @ERobbPrincipal ! @LRobbTeacher Woo-hooooooo!
Another school shooting ... how can I respond the next day? Makes me want to be a little kinder, a little gentler, and a little more understanding. I can't know the demons my students face, but maybe a kind act can make its way into the hurt and fear and produce change.
Spring break in a few hours!!!! But remember - that student today who seems especially "off" may be dreading a week at home away from the safety and routine of school ...be gentle.
I was talking with my daughter this evening about what would be a good book to write. She said I should title it: “How to Make Kids Smile.”
This was a simple concept, yet very profound - and it took my breath away. When we can help our kids smile...we’re doing something right.
Every decision we make should be about kids - when you look in the mirror can you say you were better for kids today? Your the only one who can answer this!!! #relentless
Due to the forecast for subzero wind chills, CCPS will be closed on Thursday, January 31. All school and administrative offices will open at 10:00 a.m.

I don’t really teach math. I teach humans how to find themselves and their role in the world.
Yes, we gather in a math classroom and there are lots of numbers involved. But what I do is so much more then numbers, variables, and data.

It can be hard to quantify effective teaching. Test scores are certainly not an adequate bottom line. But one thing I know for sure is this: Effective teaching is more likely to result from educators who are continually learning and improving their craft.
