2/2 But I came here for answers(which i got) and to honor the passed year that began here; an American walkabout. All in all, it was a good day. #stgeorgemarathon

I spent the day with the slow and injured, the Andrew Bernards- (“I’ve walked two marathons. I’m pretty sure I can handle a 5k.”), the octogenarians(hopefully someday), in a place where the shuttle drivers look deep into your eyes, ready to offer you a ride with humble pie. 1/2

I am so excited to be at Summer Institute! #teambcsd #garzalions

I hiked here, in the summer, just so I could teach the r-controlled vowel in Zion National Park, during the school year. #TeacherLife #RamonGarza

The biggest obstacle to my students success is actually low expectations. Too many of us, do not expect them to succeed, so they do not. Too many students do not expect themselves to succeed, so they do not.

[purmston @purmston1]

Students make dramatic academic progress when their teachers begin the year with a clear ambitious vision of student success. highly effective teachers know exactly where they want their students to be by the end of the year. Teaching as leader ship Stephen Farr

If our lives are centered on other sources—distortion and dependencies develop.

You ever pull staples on a Saturday morning while listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall- the album not the song? It's very therapeutic. #bcsd #ramongarza #teacherproblems #TearDownWalls
