It's been a heavy week--multiple tragedies in my hometown of Memphis and hearing the news of the loss of a former co-worker. Sending my love to all my #901 friends and my former @NIETteach family ❤️

@WRLTmornings @Lightning100 Adoptable cuties Nora, Hawkins, Vera, and Whiskey—all from @NashAnimalCare. No adoption fees this weekend! #AdoptDontShop

Every student deserves a safe learning environment. Every parent deserves to send their child to school free from fear for their safety. My heart breaks for Uvalde and for the too many students and families whose trust and safety in school has been shattered by violence

[Laura Encalade @LEncalade]

As my time @NIETteach draws to a close this week & I step away to other opportunities, I am humbled by the professionalism, student-outcomes focus, & heart of our team & partners. I’m proud of all we accomplished together & know the future for kids is brighter b/c of their work

[Laura Encalade @LEncalade]

It's one of the best weeks of the year! Teachers deserve more than a week of appreciation, but it's important to celebrate all they do for students - and the world! Thankful that I get to work with and learn from teachers regularly. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek. #ThankaTeacher

A great first step toward cultivating student ownership is to discuss how we as leaders can cultivate ownership in ourselves and among our teams. @NIETteach's new resource has strategies and guiding questions to support. Find it here: https://t.co/1VMHcZoUyr
