Was a challenge and a privilege to help my World History students learn about the election last week. I saved pictures of the board after each conversation. Studying history gives us the tools to understand the history we are making!

That’s me on the left! Amazing stuff happening at the new building. Can’t wait to move in

“Slavery is part of the DNA of this country ... and DNA can be changed. But it must be disrupted.” Thanks to Ida Bae Wells for speaking as the #NCSS2020 keynote this morning!

Watching tonight’s Falls Church City Public Schools School Board meeting and realizing how many of my students are making public comments! Involved in local activism for a cause they care about in the community— could a social studies teacher ask for anything more? 🥰🥰🥰

As an IB alum teacher, this is a real “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” moment 😅

A little test for the AVer camera ... could my team read a rubric on the board if it was zoomed in all the way? Turns out, they can! Cool studf, Steven Knight! #FCCPS #BetterTogether

Thanks for stopping by! I’m still missing a few bits and pieces, and I’m sure there will be more changes yet (Covid safety guidelines always keep us on our toes 😁😷), but it’s exciting to settle into the new space!

Teaching is a weird profession. One minute you’re preparing important and thoughtful resources so that you can teach your kiddos about yesterday’s insurrection; the next you’re eating salad like a horse because there’s only 15 min left till class and you left your fork at home

Me, trying to find a lesson I did a year ago in my Google Drive

We started our Revolutions unit last week in 9th grade history. Picking this podcast back up if any other nerds out there needs #recs

I’m probably a little too proud of myself because this morning I figured out how to make a TikTok so that I can show my kids how to scan documents using their iPhones vm.tiktok.com/ZMek84GNd/

Just had a wonderful experience presenting on LGBTQ Inclusive Classrooms as part of Falls Church City Public Schools PD Day 1! I am thankful to have the chance to bring these issues to the attention of my fellow teachers, and I'm excited to do it again tomorrow :) #Revitalized #Pride #DoSayGay

What’s the most effective way of welcoming ninth graders during orientation? I’m trying self-humiliation

This is an emergency. There will be a public comment period for 30 days where people can express their feelings about this horrifying, transphobic policy. Please make a comment and PLEASE participate in local and state elections.

Did you know that 🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢’s The Anthropocene Reviewed is both a book & a podcast? In today’s summer reading discussion, all students were able to participate because they could listen to the essays as podcasts if they didn’t remember. Love how accessible my favorite book is!
