I am a National Board Certified Teacher and President and CEO of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. RT doesn't equal endorsement.

[Dr. Sonia A. Matthew, NBCT @SoniaMatthew2]

I’ve learned that the most impactful leadership happens in the smallest moments:You don't need a red carpet to make a student feel seen; sometimes you just need to share a cinnamon roll at lunch. #APLife ♥️

Engaging students in STEAM can begin at an early age. This helps them feel a sense of belonging in the STEAM field. Here, students learn from a researcher how to extract DNA from a strawberry. #stem #stemeducation #nbctstrong #whitecoats
