Facing inequities within our schools will cause discomfort because it will require us to change things, put a halt to some traditions, and look at ourselves intently by addressing our own bias.
It isn’t easy.
Excellence isn’t easy.
Inclusiveness isn’t easy.
All means all.
What a great idea! Teachers are so creative. Love how this teacher made social distancing fun. 🥰
Well done Jennifer Birch Pierson kindergarten teacher (from Texas of course:)

@VBHSGUIDANCE @IRCSchools @SDIRC_SUP @SDIRCESE_SS @SDIRCDrMcData@colleen_lord I miss y'all, too! Still feeling like I made the right decision, but man I miss it! I am seeing some great things coming out in this time of uncertainty and chaos. Building my skills and earning this degree while still connecting with students and educators isn't so bad! 💕
TRUTH, but it doesn't mean we don't try. Teacher Leaders are powerful change agents in our schools. I fear waiting for a "revolution." Positive culture and climate are changes that come from within. Stand up and don't be afraid to stand out!
Teachers, a reminder..
YOU cannot be the lone solution to each of your school’s challenges.
•YOU need supportive school leadership
•YOU need a culture of trust and respect
•YOU need an engaged community
•YOU need TIME
•YOU need high quality PD
•YOU need a REVOLUTION
Hmmm...This makes it even more important to smile at those we pass in the supermarket, in the parking lot, or even on those ZOOM and TEAM meetings! Kinda cool. 🥰
When it comes to #remotelearning grading can be a very sticky issue. A vast majority of students still have yet to complete an assignment. Some don’t have parent support. Then there are equity issues. Key question to ask - What will a grade really tell us at this point? #edchat
THIS! I have always been and always will BE this employee. I hope to recognize and celebrate these qualities in others as I grow. #heartallin#leadbyexample https://t.co/ljSaCIrfzA
