A special thank you to @Educator86 for hosting us and caring so much about his @TMSCenturions students, everyone send him some extra love this week 💕 #EducationChampions

There are roughly two weeks left before thanksgiving break! Can you find at least one student a day and tell them why you are grateful they are in your class/school this year?? Not only will impact them, it will change you. #gratitudechallenge

Every educator should relentlessly pursue growth. Not because they’re ineffective, or uninformed, or deficient in some way.

Pursue growth because no matter how great you are you can be even better. Imagine what might be possible if every educator is learning and growing.

We do not use the term ‘balanced literacy.’ Instead we prefer RESPONSIVE TEACHING: knowing the learner, then knowing the text, then deciding what areas to teach and adjusting your instruction based on what you observe in your students. #FPLiteracy

Schools don't kill creativity, hierarchies do. Policies do. Compliance does. Outdated systems do. Standardized tests do. Report cards do. Ego does. Competition does. Negativity does. Pressure does. Burnout does. One size fits all methods do. Poor leadership does.

@mrdearybury You're not a parent, so you couldn't possibly understand my child.

We stopped dropped and read for our last few minutes of this dreary Friday to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica my students were very intrigued to see me reading a “chapter book” for myself.
