I just emailed a principal and congratulated her on the phenomenal academic achievement recently experienced at her school. This was her response:

“Thank you!! The gains are due to my amazing teachers! They are the heroes!!”

That, my friends... is leadership.

Kara and I have some big news! We got a call last week... Take a look at our latest adoption blog post to find out all the details!

I may be biased... but I think I have the best job in the world! Where else do you get to watch a student go from brand new, with no English, to writing you thoughtful letters in less than 2 years? #elscan #ilovemyjob

It’s November... that means that we start #ESOL class with quick warmups getting my 3’s and 4’s ready for the upcoming @WIDAConsortium test. #elscan

So many great things happening today! I can’t fail to mention how one of my Ss was inspired by our recent ELA article to bring in and share clothing related to his culture! Talk about making connections! 👍@WarrenES_BCPS

Taking a page from our @BCPSESOL training and having students work on their stamina by writing for 5 straight minutes. These #els did a fantastic job describing a picture.

One of my students told me he felt like a pilot when he got to use headphones to summarize his learning in @voicethread today! 😂 #elscan
