Honest question: how many teachers or students have to get sick or die before we give teachers a say in whether or not schools should be open in the Fall?
Leadership meeting in costume?? Challenged to dress as a leader I chose Maleficent bc she is misunderstood - she loves hard and deep ❤️ Her love of Beastie is what drives her! My #PersonalLeadersipFocus this year is #TakeTimeToBeKind.
I'm concerned with how little the safety of teachers, admin, & support staff are discussed in the conversation about safely reopening schools in the fall. Student learning is absolutely a priority, and the health of the adults facilitating that learning should be important, too.
Go to Walmart, get shot.
Go to a garlic festival, get shot.
Go to a concert, get shot.
Go to church, get shot.
Go to the movies, get shot.
Go to work, get shot.
Go to college, get shot.
Go to high school, get shot.
Go to first grade, get shot.
Just what the fuck.

If you tell someone there was another mass shooting they will respond, “Another one?” They then are curious how many people died, and once you tell them they will shake their head and carry on with the previous conversation. America, something is wrong when this is normal.
Got to break bread with our @CGESD4 custodians today. They work hard everyday to keep our schools safe & clean. But with 13 of our buildings currently under construction, they’re really hustling to ensure we’re ready on Monday. They’re an incredible team! #valued#CGESDfamily
JoAnn is extraordinarily kind every day in her role as crossing guard. She goes out of her way to make sure every student & adult crossing the street feels special and cared for. She gives hugs, encouragement, and even gifts; abundantly and with love. Well deserved! #CGESDfamily
In my experience, rarely have I encountered a situation where a teacher who had solid connections & rapport with students was struggling with classroom management.
The best way to prevent poor behavior is a strong #relationship.
My 17 year old was just telling me how much he appreciated a teacher who always allowed students to make HW and test corrections. He told me, “She said it doesn’t matter when we get it... as long as we get it.” (This is for an AP class). #KidsLearnAtDifferentRates
Taught 3rd grade for the morning! It was so amazing! We have to let kids talk and tell us what they know. Those kids could name so many US landmarks. All we have to do is ask and let them lead the discussion! #cgesdfamily
