Curious, adventurous and always learning. Living & loving with everything I've got. Family, friends, faith and the ocean keep me going strong.

Kids can feel this.

Make it obvious. 🧡

"What happens when, instead of getting the virus, we see educators experience anxiety, panic attacks, or stress-induced ailments? Do schools have the necessary supports in place to care for the mental health of its educators?" @Chalkbeat @faithful_writer

How to approach this year! 🙌

[Ruth Pitstick @ruthpitstick]

#Zoom small group math for summer #remotelearning. Never thought I’d be teaching this way, but I’m always open to learning. Today was a success and I’m holding onto that! #NHCSchat #virtuallearning #safedistance

So so important. For all of us. ❤️ #nhcschat #socialemotional #mentalhealth https://t.co/jj4QTrA9WH

We have an incredible opportunity to educate and change the future. WE MUST COMMIT. #NHCSchat #edchat #joyfulleaders

Can we log missing our students & watching this video over and over again on my remote work activity log? Asking for a friend. 😭🥰😭 #nhcschat #virtualclassroom #missmystudents https://t.co/Gvijw7bJq0

When you miss your students so much, you make signs and go give them air hugs. #quaranteach #relationshipsmatter #nhcschat #bestday @OgdenPTA @Ogdenpal @OgdenAP @KatelynDurkin

@jenniferlhatch @UNCWWatsonEd I absolutely love this series, I brought home all three on my first round of gathering teaching materials from school. ♥️ Maybe I’ll read it aloud at our class Zoom meeting this week!

Deep thoughts on remote learning.
Ditch: Timers. Scheduled tests/lectures. Mindless busy work.
More: Creativity. Choice. Self-pace. Recordings. Personalized check ins. Compassion. Grace.
We begged for no tests. So, let’s stop teaching like they still exist.
Teach kids.
❤️

As I have been working so hard for students, I also spent time thinking about educators. If you need to refill your cup, please read my newsletter, The Pandemic Teacher. #nhcschat https://t.co/axFQOqWz7Z
