“In order to manage emotions & regulate behavior, a child must learn to control impulses, tolerate frustration, cope with strong emotions, follow limits & expectations, AND delay gratification.” My question is when are we teaching kids how to do all of this heavy work?

Seeing families in an outdoor Meet and Greet was cool to see! We have to be safe but excited to have kids in schools with masks!

Love meeting and exploring Amplify’s mClass reports, data, and instruction with ACS administrators. Fortunate to be partnered with Kelly Pratt! #ACS

Great day observing fabulous kinder classes in Asheville City Schools with some of the Cabarrus County elementary leadership team! Intentional developmental play centers are so great for teachers and kids!

Digging into data with the west district leaders!

Amazing couple of days with Henderson County school teams working on what literacy looks like in their schools today and where they need to go in the future! Love working with my Western partner Kelly Pratt!

Instead of assuming students “don’t care,” let's investigate the barriers they may be facing, say EL columnists Douglas Fisher & Nancy Frey. Why Do Students Disengage? ascd.org/el/articles/sh…

Loved co-facilitating EC LETRS training this afternoon. Pre-K teachers are so important for children’s early literacy development.

I love co-presenting with Kelly Pratt. So excited about conducting Literacy for Leaders for our Far West leaders! @ncdpi_oel

LETRS facilitators training has been amazing. I am learning more and more about the importance of literacy instruction in early childhood. We have no time to waste.
