Representation MATTERS
Seriously hit home tonight, that raw reaction of my daughter seeing herself in a leader of our country, her pure happiness that was evident as her face lit up and her soul grew with pride, that representation gave my daughter a face to put to her dreams...

Thank you Mrs. Woods for sharing this quote, said by the great RBG, with me today!
It is deep and sooooo true and stuck with me all day!

“To those accustomed to privilege, Equality feels like oppression.” -Ruth Bader Ginsburg

@PhilPerry5150 THIS is school spirit 🙌🏻

@PhilPerry5150 Scared me when I saw you! Thought maybe this virtual teaching really took its toll on you! (Bald over night?!!) 😂

Want to restore your faith in humanity right now? Sit in a room full of teachers prepping for fall. They truly are a purpose-driven, selfless, grit-fueled group and it’s an honor to work with them. If you know a teacher, bring them a meal, or send them a note of encouragement. ❤️

Saw on Instagram and felt it was worth sharing.

do what is right, not what is easy 🙌🏻

@jkirk___ I think non educators' perception of teaching is everyone sitting at their desk in rows and filling out worksheets-the way they may have been taught. I suppose that might work with 6 feet apart & masks (if only there was room). BUT that is not good teaching!!

Superintendents, whether school is in person or online, focus on staff morale. The adjustments/transitions over the past few months & now this fall are incredible. And don’t just focus on morale but their mental & emotional health too. Teachers need to feel safe and supported.

Impact matters more than intention 🙌🏻

Teachers, please don’t think working 12 hr days, spending your own money on supplies/ resources, or working every weekend, is all part of your calling. Being your best self for your students may be your calling but the rest is just causing you to burnout & not give your best.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

DACA recipients are American in every way except on paper.

Last week’s decision was a huge victory, but we still have an Administration determined to upend the lives of thousands of young people.

We must stop them at every turn and push for a pathway to citizenship.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do.
