Wife, mom, teacher, Reds fan.
I ❤ Joey Votto.
Because language and leadership are inseparable. Because history is not shaped or moved by mediocre words.

Day 3: I posted some updates for my classes and for some reason it just hit me hard: I miss them. We might not go back.
I don't teach because I love English, I teach because I love them.

The best schools don't just have great teachers—they have great teams.

One of the strongest indicators of a healthy school culture? Teachers who genuinely want to learn from and support one another.

@Kristinartz Teaching ≠ forcing
But yes.

@FixingEducation My district is generally very purposeful when spending money, but there are definitely a few things that make me scratch my head. Tech is one of them. Overpaying a few folks who don't earn it is another. (NOT teachers -- they earn every cent!) Teachers can't speak up, sadly.

@Reds @pjhiggins7 At least Acuna is sucking in right field! 😂

@MattsTake1 Oh man. 😥

[Sharon McKinney, Ed.D. @mckinney_edu]

One of the first lessons I learned as a school leader was that I could not personally care for every student each day. The best way to care for students was to invest in and support the teachers and staff who serve them daily.

@MatRyanELATeach I adore Gatsby. Loved teaching it. Plan to continue reading it for myself in my retirement (which begins Friday!). 😄
But where is Huck Finn???

@HyattConcierge Sent a DM. 🤷🏼‍♀️ What info do you want?

[Nicole Parker @NJP5]

Do better, @Hyatt
Front desk insinuated that it was fresh blood, but I can assure you, it was not. So, unchanged bed linens AND accused of lying. So frustrating. Do better.

@ChipotleTweets I can't. 🤷🏼‍♀️ X won't let me

[Nicole Parker @NJP5]

@sage_stage Perhaps you should be reflecting on how you could better engage your students.

@NowOminus @MrDude079 There's no context in the world that excuses kicking a CHILD. She kicked her. Someone's baby. In school. Fire, then prosecute. Horrible horrible human being.

[Nicole Parker @NJP5]

@sage_stage This is wild. Are there people who DON'T do this??? We all do this, every day.

[Nicole Parker @NJP5]

@zack_cozart I love him. ❤️ 🐐

@MatRyanELATeach Hamlet (and Gatsby!) 😁

[Nicole Parker @NJP5]

@EvilJoeyVotto I hope not. 😬
