Educator. Reader. Beyoncé lover. Tweets are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer.

I just facilitated my own IEP meeting! I am the first-ever student from my high school to do so. It felt amazing, but I am flat exhausted.

Please clap.

Congratulations Mr. Russell!

Almost every best practice in education takes more time than traditional practices.

More time to plan, more time to differentiate, and more time to grade.

If we want educators to be able to do these practices effectively, we need to give educators more time to do them.

The situation in Chicago is disheartening in a lot of ways, but as usual the babies remind us why we do what we do.

Told my scholars I might get locked out from virtual school tomorrow by CPS because I refuse to go into the building. 5 minutes later, I called on one of them and she didn’t respond.

Me: “Hey, what you up to?”
4th grader: “I’m emailing the mayor.”

Great episode around SEL and it’s importance not so much on how to do it though. Looking forward to future episodes. #podcastPD

I’m so excited to begin my teaching journey in the UAE in a few weeks. The biggest obstacle is just getting there in the time of COVID.

I told her that I was sending it to the only people that could relate... teenage girls

Your last text is the title of the book you are writing about your summer.

Go!

I no longer have patience for books and events that are supposed to be for everyone, but are clearly written, designed for, and framed for White people. Just name it and say that your work caters to White people and we're good.

Students can’t “fall behind” during COVID-19

Because we are the ones who make the standards

Standards are social constructs

Completely arbitrary benchmarks

We are the educators

We can re-write the standards

Working in the Middle East is helping me grow not only as an educator but as a citizen of the world. I was beyond excited to dress in traditional Kuwaiti clothing for our national day celebration.

Edu Idea:
What if instead of #LessonPlans administrators "required" Ts to post #Reflections of lessons on a safe #SocialMedia-like platform?
With straightforward parameters, require staff to #Comment on one another's #ReflectiveWriting.
#BetterTogether #WritingCommunity #CrazyPLN

[Ms. Quiller @MsTquiller]

So proud of you Ms. Darbey!

@tracyrenee70 I don’t remember the first person to tell me that but it was always something I felt. I do remember my cousin saying “you should be something better like an engineer” when I told him my major.

Wrote this as an example for my students. They got a kick out of my hijab drawing skills.

One of the best parts about my new position is I have the flexibility to create moments with my students that are not just about reading and writing. Bts of our “family meal” in the life skills lab.

Parent,”I would like to come read to the class, but I can’t read English.” Me, “well, please come read in your language.” Parent, “really? “ Me, “of course!” And,she did and it was amazing!!Thank you to this mom for reading to us!📚 You made your daughter proud! 😊 #cridgepride

@JenRoberts1 @sjunkins @SimplyNovelELA I can I ask what “not really” means in this context
