Great teachers do not necessarily have fancy wall art or classroom gimmicks or showboat personalities; great teachers consistently meet students' needs. #teacher#education#school#Feedback#student#teachertwitter

Yes! For spirit week, I eliminated cultural-appropriation days and prioritized accessibility. I shared my rationale with staff and students to broaden awareness. The best days are no-cost dress-up days like school colors or comfy clothes. #teacher#principal
Teachers, I'm writing an article about efficacy, and I want to hear from you! Which of the following will most effectively build a staff's collective efficacy? #TeachersDay#teacher#teachersoftwitter#teachertwitter

Educators, t's a great time to start thinking about establishing a strong mentoring program in your school! Check out my article! #Teachers#Administrators#education#NewSchoolYear
Every teacher is experiencing this year differently. I was reminded today by a couple of teachers that they are having their best year yet! It's so good for my soul to hear about what's going well, so I can draw on their positivity to help those who are struggling! #Teacher
I'm so fortunate to be in school again and surrounded by a cohort of incredible people. It was difficult to imagine how I would fit in school with my other responsibilities, but, like all good things, it just works.
When teaching reading, many schools attend to foundational skills, but we've neglected to develop knowledge-based competencies for too long, especially in early elementary. Know better. Do better. #scienceofreading
Teachers, despite so many challenges, are crushing it right now. So much respect for the people working closest with kids. #teachersaremyheroes#Respect
When I meet with new teachers, I ask them who they typically ask for help. After they rave about their most supportive colleagues, I pass the praise along. It's important to celebrate teachers who contribute to a collaborative culture! #collaboration
For spirit week I used an equity lens to select themes. My goal is for students to participate without a financial burden, and I selected themes that are accessible regardless of age or religious/cultural beliefs: favorite color, mismatch, comfy/cozy, sports, and school pride.
We are more data driven than ever before! Identfied scholars are assessed to understand the root-causes of their reading challenges, and we have a team of educators ready to match instruction to students' needs. #scienceofreading
