A must for the first week of school! Idea courtesy of @jeffdefranco of True North Consulting. Give students autonomy over the classroom and they will follow their own norms! 😊 #middleschool#BackToSchool
All the feels from the outpouring of thanks by the greater #SouthTahoeLake community. Thank you to the firefighters and first responders who protected us from the #CaldorFire.

We should not frame the upcoming school year as one where we are “catching kids up.” I can’t think of anything less inspiring for students. Instead we should be meeting kids where they are at.
Teachers are not simply raising student achievement; they are developing better humans. Education doesn’t just open doors of personal opportunity; it allows young people to engage their world in a more compassionate and constructive way.

It is important that students read books where they see themselves in some of the characters. It is also important that students read books about people they would not ordinarily meet.
I am so proud of the @LakeTahoeCC student leaders who courageously shared their voices with the #SouthLakeTahoe community. Thank you to the #LTCC board and community for stepping up and stepping out. #BlackLivesMatter
