Proud of my friend @sarah_giddings1 and her WEOC team for their dedication to #teacherpowered #studentcentered teaching and learning. #tpsconf2022

Loved visiting #teacherpowered @LevelUpAcadMN. Students felt so much ownership of their school and their learning. Teachers showed so much pride. #teacherpowered #studentcentered #tpsconf2022

Looking at the pride in teachers’ faces when their kids share what they love about their school makes me happy. #levelupacademy #tpsconf2022 #teacherpowered

And we thought we were just getting a tour of #teacherpowered Level Up Academy today, but @DanyikaLeonard is giving us a whole tour of the city! Thanks, Danyika!! #tpsconf2022

Please read this. A child expresses themselves, tells their truth in a poem, and adults ridicule the child to protect their truth, which is to lie about how their truth makes this kid’s truth a painful reality. Sheesh. Smh.

Kicking off #TeacherAppreciationWeek w/ a BIG thank you to our nat’l ambassadors. Your passion & drive is unmatched! @SkylarPrimm @TSnyd @adamhaigler @CarrieBakken @teacherdanny216 @DeyonneJ @MisterA @julene_oxton @JulieSCSC @rmkang110 @peter_nwp @zbaalbaki @sarah_giddings1

“My group started off strong, but then we disagreed a bit and disbanded. We were The Beatles.” -Third Grader, reflecting on a group reading assignment

Teachers! This one is for you, for always finding the strength to give young people hope, even in the most difficult circumstances. Thank you. __ Prélude, Suite No. 1 for Solo Cello by J.S. Bach, #songsofcomfort

I’m estimating that it’ll take me 25+ minutes to find parking quasi-close to school tomorrow. I’m also anticipating at least two more parking tickets this week.

We're giving away clam chowder for snow plow drivers in #Boston at our Legal Harborside location today! Starting at 11:30AM, park outside of Legal Harborside in the Seaport & beep - we'll run some chowder out to you! Thanks to all snow plow drivers for all you're doing today.

Relieved to see this proposal go away.

Plan to teach new content to a whole class tomorrow or plan to review if I only have half a class again? Thoughts? Advice?

“I want to give a shout-out to myself, my elves at home, and my missing Santa hat that disappeared last year.” -Third Grader

Spent an extra few moments snuggling the baby this morning, thinking ‘what if actually does happen?’ That’s a terrible way to feel walking into a third grade classroom.

Today in third grade, we talked about where we’d go if we could be anywhere in the world. After hearing responses like Tokyo, Hawaii, DR, etc, one third grader said, “A bar with good wings and good music.” #samesies

It’s an exciting day in Boston. We’re cheering for you, @wutrain! Third graders listening in to history being made!

How can little babies be so cute and also gremlins at the same time??

All in all, spent less than one waking hour with my own child in the last 24 hours. Working to live or living to work?
