Thank you former Patton Elementary , Monica Rios , for talking about your career with our fifth graders today!

Thank you City of Austin Earth School for coming to Patton Elementary to present important information about our water supply and how to keep it clean!

I saw this written on my math teachers board this week when I popped into her room. Every day, she asks her students a different question.

TB: I have become intentional about broadening the voices I listen to - both in my inner circles, in my learning and on social media. One voice that has had a profound effect on me is @DrIbram. Here is one of my favorite podcasts w/him: brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-… #LeadLAP

TC: I had the pleasure 2 years ago of leading a PD where we used the TedTalk 'The Danger of a Single Story' and it profoundly changed how I view many things in life including this work. #LeadLAP #GritCrewEDU
