Students are amazing humans! When distance learning feels hard, remember the organic lessons it’s creating for our youth! #empathyforothers#beyondcurriculum
A high school junior stayed on Zoom after my final class today.
He said he “just wanted to do a vibe check on his teachers.”
“Like... you're all checking in on us. But who’s checking in on you?"
I could not be more proud to work for a school district who puts their students, staff & families before curriculum.They are truly about the whole-child/staff by putting Maslow before Bloom. I love the heart of my district! #evacuated @LaurieDent1 @SumnerSchools@MountainMiddle
@LaurieDent1 @SumnerSchools You are an incredible leader and your actions match your words - every.single.time! Thank you SBLSD leadership! I thought I was losing my home 24 hours ago. You’ve reduced my stress level and given me the time to get my teacher-brain back & a moment to breathe. Bless You! ❤️
A teaching PD book where the first module is “Take Care of Yourself” really tells you a lot about the Authors! You can’t fill someone’s bucket if your own bucket is empty! Thank you Fisher & Frey. #distancelearningplaybook#TeacherLife#selfcare
My favorite you ask? Teach more than content! (All are good, but this one hits a little different) Our kids need to feel loved, supported and that they belong now more than ever! #relationshipsfirst#knowbetterdobetter#raftup
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but ...
You are enough.
You've done your best. And that's a lot. It's all you can do.
There's no shame in saying, "It's time to go home. I'll do my best again tomorrow."

Watching SBLSD board mtg and so thankful that our superintendent @LaurieDent1 is focused on our students return to the classroom & trusts her teachers to do the right thing to provide quality teaching virtually. She is a great leader during such crazy times! Thank you Dr. Dent!
My summer reading... these educators are not only brilliant, but also inspiring & make me want to be a better teacher! Look into these books & authors to change your way of teaching in the best interest of our students! @joboaler@TrevorMuir#knowbetterdobetter#vivalarevolution
This is one of my favorites that a teacher friend sent me my first year teaching. We will all be first year teachers (to some regard) this year, so make sure to find your marigold!!
Let’s build a love of learning for our students and encourage intrinsic motivation instead of developing extrinsically motivated learners! #knowbetterdobetter https://t.co/AjR8gsv0a5
