Day 2 of educator affirmation:

Your effort is real and it shows in ways people overlook.

It's real because you show up on days you're exhausted. It's real even on days no one acknowledges it. Keep showing up. Your current reality isn't permanent.

Pick 3 educators you follow and encourage them daily until Dec 19 please. If you know anything about this time of year - the kids tired, we tired, the kids turn all the way up, we have to cope.

Special blessings to those of us in middle school. Be blessed. #BlackEduSky #EduSky #iteachmath

Education. Makes me wonder about the folk in classrooms at every level who grow the very people every other field comes from - but it's no longer professional. 🤔

I’m soooo tired. TGIF.

I have a fellowship meeting Monday so I need to find time for sub plans and cleaning up my classroom.

We have multiple projects going in my classes and it definitely looks like a “working” classroom (aka a mess lol)

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

This season has been heavy. Leading every day while your own belief feels thin is a different kind of work. It is the version of leadership no one really prepares you for. The quiet erosion no one talks about. The part that shifts how you see yourself while you keep moving. #BlackEduSky #EduSky
When You're The Chain & The Paperclip: Examing Your Own Belief in Leadership
It is early November and every educator is ready for a break. The kids too, if we are being honest. This time of year brings a need for a reset for many reasons. Assessment data comes in and it is not...
