The worst part of my day was finding out my basement flooded last night. The best part of my day was when my kids found out I was having a tough day, they all showed me their pets in our class meeting to cheer me up. It worked like a charm!

Teaching looks a bit different this year, but I am so so happy to be with kids again!

[Christopher Emdin @chrisemdin]

We teach students before curriculum. We reach souls before standards. We teach character before content. In that order or its not really teaching at all #HipHopEd #GoodTroubleEdu

God can use this interruption of your story as an invitation to an even greater story. Trust Him.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

If we don’t focus on empathy and relationships, any return to school plan is a failure.

What’s happening across the US, shows the importance of our equity focus. The purpose of our @fcpsk12 equity work is to increase awareness of inequities, promote civility, address areas requiring change, and to create structures that accelerate opportunities for all.

We either affect those around us or we infect those around us. Never underestimate your influence.

Back to school night will have a whole new meaning and perspective this fall! Every parent/guardian in America will be there! 😃

Besides teachers pouring out so much now, principals are too. Principals are always in tough spot. They have no control over pay or many mandates such as common core, state teacher evals etc. The problems & unrealistic mandates come from above. So check in on your admin too.

#IMPORTANTUPDATE: The U.S. Department of Education has given Virginia permission to cancel federally mandated Standards of Learning tests during the 2019-2020 school year following the commonwealth’s waiver application: https://t.co/ELfSzyz2ug

2,437 meals served today (March 24) to our @fcpsk12 students. Tremendous outreach & caring gesture demonstrated by our bus drivers & Nutrition Services team members. #INSPIRE2025 #FCPSinpires

I am heartbroken by this news...

[Virginia Education Association @VEA4Kids]

Breaking: @GovernorVA has announced that all public schools must close for at least this academic year.

VEA President Jim Livingston will be live on our Facebook page at 3pm to talk with members. #VEAStrong #COVID19 https://t.co/YnexuxzCsc

[Melissa P @lissa_p12]

A break from freaking out about the Coronavirus to be happy about this! #4moredays

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Good leaders do things right, but highly effective leaders do the right thing. Cancelling state tests is an example of doing the right thing.

Grateful to work with admin who invests in our students’ learning, and plays along when we use them as instructional tools lol

[Redbud Run Rockets @RRESRockets]

Thank you to Mrs. Palacios’ and Ms. Shibley’s classroom for helping Mr. Strong pick his outfit for school. The students were learning about Tree Diagrams and possible outcomes when given a set of data. This data just happened to be possible pant and shirt choices for Mr. Strong.
