How many Black lives could have been saved if police departments had the de-escalation skills of special education teachers, social workers, or mental health professionals?

Donald Trump’s attacks on the Somali community are not about safety. They’re about stoking division and fear.

How can teachers realistically support "the whole child" when we don't have enough funding for social workers, psychologists, special education teachers, and related service providers in our schools?

Students will never get tired of you saying to them over and over again, "I am proud of you."

Minneapolis is proud to be home to the largest Somali community in the country. They are our neighbors, our friends, and our family β€” and they are welcome in our city. Nothing Donald Trump does will ever change that.

Sometimes students act out not because they want to misbehave, but because school is one place where they feel safe enough to make mistakes.

Special education should be a service for children rather than a place they are sent.

Admin, don't forget about those teachers who lead under the radar. There are many teachers who are strong, yet quiet leaders and keep their schools afloat.

School administrators can really make or break a teacher's experience at a school.

Love these teachers! One is pursuing her admin license and I know we won’t be able to keep her for long.

Being a teacher isn't just one job. It's 100,000 little jobs.

One of the great things about summer break is that it gives teachers a chance to feel human again.

Every single day, teachers take pure chaos and turn it into something meaningful. That is real power.
