Today was my first day back with students & my first day implementing strategies I lived by this summer with @UpperlineCode. Can I tell you, today was my best first day of teaching in my 11 years as a teacher. See thread for some strategies that made it great.

We are so proud of @UpperlineCode and @BrkThroughTech alum Nalini Ramdeo! We've always believed that providing early opportunities for underrepresented students to learn code opens doors and builds confidence, but check out Nalini's story for the proof! https://t.co/UOB0oeH2Bk
