Please pay attention to the legislation that’s being drafted and filed. Stay in contact with your elected officials. Ask questions to see where they stand. Advocate for equitable and just legislation. Email, schedule appointments, and show up when you can.

Looking forward to this event by Fletcher Education Solutions! #BlackExcellence

These teacher leaders fill my heart with so much love and pride.

If you’re an Arkansas educator who’s feeling overwhelmed by all the reform talk and/or are looking for ways to get involved but don’t know where to start, you should jump on our Wednesday zoom call to hear from our Policy Fellows/teacher leaders.

I am beyond thrilled to work along side such dynamic leaders on the 1 Million Teachers of Color campaign. Today’s virtual meeting had me in all my feels and super excited about the work ahead.

The Teachers Support Teachers Gala was a great way to bookend the hard work of the Teach Plus Arkansas Policy Fellows, some of who drove up to four hours for our work session. Congratulation, Katy Moore, for being awarded the Donna Powell English Excellence Award!

To all the female leaders, teachers, + changemakers at Reach University, in our communities and lives: We see you. We champion you. We thank you - on #InternationalWomensDay & always. You are making this world a more equitable, better place for the leaders of today + tomorrow✨

I truly don’t understand how 30 mins can fly by when I’m talking to educators but move so slowly when I’m cleaning! Thx, Justin Minkel, for the invite to share space with the teacher leaders in your Current Issues in Education class to discuss policy, advocacy & teacher voice!

When teachers are at the table and help shape policy, the future is more hopeful for us all. Find out more information on how to use your teacher voice to improve education, join our network or apply to be a Policy Fellow by visiting teachplus.org/ar/. #teachplusar

Thee I Love JSU has been good to our JEM. It’s hard to believe she’s graduating next month. What a way to leave a mark. #ForeverAJEM youtube.com/watch?v=PpxnWe…

There’s nothing like being around dear, sweet, beautiful, brilliant, creative, courageous, change-seeking young people to remind you that even in the midst of ugly, there is always hope. Thx the whole city is mine, prettiest Don... 👑 for your vision and inclusivity. #WriteousPoets

Grateful to have moderated two panels of inspiring Teachers of the Year at the Little Rock School District’s Novice Teacher Mini-Conference. Their insights on staying motivated, navigating challenges, & maintaining a positive classroom climate were truly invaluable. #reimaginingLRSD
