Thanks so much! It is truly an honor to represent @DEVONPREP in this way; I'm a better teacher bc of the amazing support I receive from orgs like the Jack Miller Center that connect teachers to excellent, thoughtfully curated, non-partisan resources & scholars for my lessons.
It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! In honor of the occasion, we're featuring just a few of the K-12 teachers in our network. Today, we highlight the K-12 winner of our 2024 Teaching Excellence Award, @highleyjane! Jane is a middle and high school teacher @DEVONPREP, where she teaches

Ditto to my AP scholars @DEVONPREP! All those hours poring over case summaries and foundational documents are paying off!
Good luck to my #troyapgov students and all students around the country taking the AP US Gov & Politics Exam. #APGov #Cram4theExam

Want to learn all about lateral reading. Where to start?
“Lateral reading starts with humanity— acknowledging what you don’t know.” Nice first session with @GatorCitizen and @InquiryGroup discussing media literacy and what we can to develop this civic habbit. @NCSSNetwork #NCSS2024
