Parents are often our first teachers, guiding us through life & starting us on our educational path. Thank you, parents, for all that you in & out of the classroom to support your childrens’ learning, growth, & success. #NationalParentsDay #ParentsDay

35% of Ts say they will quit in next 2 years. 44% of Ts say they are burned out. 55% of Ts say they plan to leave education sooner than anticipated (@weareteachers). 100% of these coaches are dedicated to lowering these numbers through their leadership and knowledge. #GBCoaches

8-year-old never had a birthday party before, until today. (Be prepared to cry.)

Today’s read, tomorrow’s read, the next day’s read, and the next day’s read. There’s way too much on teachers’ plates and education is such a stressful (and rewarding) profession with more constraints than flexibility…and we need help.
