I'm the ringleader 🎩 of a 4th and 5th grade classroom 🎪 in Wyoming. I believe that we can change the world with literacy 📚, courage 🦁, and kindness ❤️.

Self-care will not solve the ongoing stacking of demands and unrelenting stress on teachers.
We need more than self-care. We need some systematic changes that help curb burnout and retain educators.

#loveteaching Thankful Tuesday
I'm thankful for all of my colleagues in the Evansville family. They show up every day, always doing magical work, what's best for kids front and center. I wouldn't be half the teacher I am without all of these amazing people!❤ #loveteachingwyo

I recently had a fun opportunity to sit with the folks at @CowboyEDpod! They are a hoot and so much fun to talk to. By using our own voice and our own courage to dare to do different, we can change our students' lives.

Our students need us to be more than their teachers right now. They need us to be sounding boards, safety nets, and compassionate leaders.
