Education will always evolve - through new standards, new strategies, and new tools.
But one thing will never change:
Relationships will always matter most.
Lead with compassion.
Extend grace generously.
Offer each student a fresh start.
Every single day.
Because at the heart of great teaching is something profoundly simple:
Connection.
Our job is to teach the students we have. Not the ones we would like to have.
Not the ones we used to have.
Those we have right now.
All of them.

Are you smarter than a 5th, 4th, or 3rd grader? 36 elementary students from across Bartlett blew my socks off with their ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide 4 numbers mentally to arrive at 24 as the final answer in seconds. Fabulous job!!!#NoPlaceIdRatherB
Enjoyed a day of learning with the Early Literacy Network with @EmilyNBCT and @Harrison_B3. My favorite conversation today was around productive struggle for students. #NoPlaceIdRatherB
These are the faces of the future. The Aspiring Leaders cohort had their first meeting last night, and it was inspirational. I canβt wait to learn beside these future leaders. #BCSAspiringLeaders#NoplaceidratherB
It was so great to be able to visit multiple schools on the first day. Everyone was excited to start a new school year. The energy was contagious. #NoPlaceIdRatherB
