Ray Ankrum, Sr. Ed.D Ω 🐶 But are we ready to really talk about this though? And when are we going to talk about how some of the districts and schools that we work for are doing the same things to us as professionals?

I know I keep saying it, but now that we're a full year into this thing I'm just blown away by how millions of teachers across the country have completely shifted and reimagined both their pedagogy and their role as educators to continue serving their students. It's incredible.

My dreams of being the 1st of a generation was almost killed in a Guidance Counselor’s office. And yes it was at a “top school” and yes all my apps were to HBCU’s. But God and a Black Mamma with that type of time. #CouRageousleadership

As I reflect on my journey that started a year ago today-when my school closed because of COVID, this captures almost exactly how I felt.
