Wife, mom, and math teacher | 2023 National Teacher of the Year 🍎 | Tweets are my own
Union High School | Tulsa, OK

Reminiscing on a breathtaking week: meeting the President, speaking in the Rose Garden, standing in the Oval Office. Yet, my proudest moment was when our son searched for his White House candy…to give to a man asking for food. May we live lives worthy of our children. #NTOY23

Amazing work, North Carolina! Automatic opt-in is shown to increase levels of achievement and decrease disparity gaps. Math should be opening doors for our students, not closing them.
.@ncpublicschools passed a bill requiring students who score at the highest level on end-of-year math assessments to be automatically placed in advanced math classes, leading to positive trends in math achievement. Learn more: https://t.co/HLGPzRYvmU.

It was a great day! Thank you @usedgov!
I was able to participate in the US Dept. of Education’s Capstone Event on Advancing Education Professions, along with @RebeckaMozdeh and other stakeholders. We know the answer: we must ensure educators earn a living wage to recruit and retain a high-quality teacher workforce.
