Differentiation is not just about academic needs, but also relational needs. Some students need to vent, encouragement, a hug or even a push to excel. These are as important as academic needs. Education is relational after all.

Effective teachers never give up on any student because they know each one has significance, value, and a purpose, even if the student doesn’t realize it yet.

Equal opportunity and equal education shouldn't still be an issue. #UABEEC301SUM20

All students deserve equal opportunity to a safe, effective, and unbiased education. This is not a suggestion. #UABEEC301SUM20

Knowing I’ll have my own classroom in the near future it is so important to pay attention to our society and how it is shaping us as educators and our students. Educate yourself, learn to love and accept others, be the voice for the voiceless! We can be the change#UABEEC301SUM20

If there's ever a time that we need to focus on our students mental & emotional health, it is now. Think of everything they've endured already & its only June! Now is not the time to cut The Arts, PE, counselors! Congress needs to step up & support our schools, teachers & kids!

Teachers, when you feel defeated & like you aren’t making a difference, Remember you are planting seeds & while it may take years to see the result of your labor, you are helping grow & nurture a better tomorrow through the lives you influence. Never underestimate your purpose.

@learnwithleah @PrinceEa We should definitely have more life lessons in class and less testing! Students need to be able to work through problems and use their resources rather than memorize boring facts. #UABEEC301SUM20
