Hey friends! As the weather grows cold, many of my students struggle to stay warm & in dress code. We would like to set up a check-out system so students can stay warm & in dress code. I would appreciate the help! https://t.co/tr1LAGcUHS

Educators are an investment; not an expense!

[Tamara Parks, Ph.D. @TParksPhD]

@boyd121 Empathy is truly lacking…it seems so unusual in young people, too. Developmentally, they are at a self-centered stage but not caring and completely lacking empathy? It’s worse now than when I got into education a couple decades ago.

Cannot wait until our next PDOL in December!

The second day of school, we continued to focus on building relationships & what we need to be successful mathematicians in an emotionally and physically safe space! We will be revising and discussing our final draft to sign. #mathed #socialcontract #howardconnect #sel

@mrteacher024 EVERY. TIME. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Tamara Parks, Ph.D. @TParksPhD]

Let’s go @howard_connect!

[Tamara Parks, Ph.D. @TParksPhD]

Grateful for a wonderful team and admins who believe this sentiment. We all carry each other’s load when some of us just need a break or must take care of families. The idea of constant sacrifice will continue to drive educators away.

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

If a teacher needs to be out, our response should be “Take care of you.” The sub shortage shouldn’t keep educators from taking care of themselves. I’d rather a teacher be gone for a day than leave forever due to a lack of empathy.

[Tamara Parks, Ph.D. @TParksPhD]

@teachergoals Kids out at 3:00. By the time cars are gone and we can get out, we can go. Anywhere between 3:15 and 3:30.

[Tamara Parks, Ph.D. @TParksPhD]

Math lesson basics…especially for investigations! Usually starts with student sharing their thinking and important info prior to finding out what the problem is…they get the context of the problem first. #matheducation #bestpractices #howardconnect

[Howard Connect Academy @howard_connect]

Big night for Howard Connect…first ever 8th grade dance! Thanks to all who made this night special for our amazing Connectors!!
