@Idaho_Teacher @Idaho_Teacher I believe in you! Our role every day is to laugh, love and lift people up. Some days are tough but so are you.

Your students are at an advantage because you are their teacher.

#BSUedleaders Love you all, lets do this!

@Idaho_Teacher Miss you too, Sara. I hope you have fun in Dallas. I still love the Mt. View family and hope you all are doing well.

I believe that education can change lives… I believe all kids should see black men in education (as of this date, only 2% of educators are black men)… I believe I can make a difference… so #IChooseToStay @Principal_EL 👌🏽♦️

No student wants to fail. No teacher wants to struggle. No administrator wants to let others down. But it happens. Hence, why everyone needs a champion; someone to believe in us, someone to remind us that we can do this. #Culturize

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but on routines, procedures and expectations. If you focus on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on routines, procedures, and expectations, you rarely have to defer back to the rules.

@Idaho_Teacher Doing well. Busy, busy trying to create the safest and best environment for my staff snd students. Our first day with students in September 8th.

Education is not student centered or learning centered but it is relational centered.

[Derek Johnston @Mistr_Johnston]

@Idaho_Teacher Sara Reed = MVP. You always make it work! Every kid in your class is at an advantage because you are their teacher.

I wish you knew how amazing you are!

[Derek Johnston @Mistr_Johnston]

@Idaho_Teacher I sure hope not.
