Please help me get on the road to Paint and interview Teachers of the Year from ME to DC. We have only 17 days to go to raise $25000 more! Teachers deserve to be heard and celebrated! jgilmoreart.com/2022/09/25/my-…

If I have to choose between sharing the *look at what book just got banned* story vs the poll showing just how little support book banning has across party lines, I'll go w/ the poll every time ipsos.com/en-us/news-pol…

The Hero Teacher Project seeks to gather ideas from Teachers all over the country on how to make schools equitable so teachers do not HAVE to be Heroes just to do their job. jgilmoreart.com/2022/10/02/the…

Performance pay is counterproductive. It has NEVER improved student performance and always demoralized teachers.

May The Treats be with you. Murals and Treats and family, perfect birthday presents! instagram.com/p/Cjdh1_qLSV7/…

Teacher Leaders are so underrated. The teachers that choose to be career teachers, the teachers that continue to serve students each and every day, the ones that stay in the trenches. Thank you.

These keep coming up. What ya think? instagram.com/p/ClFlKIYOXkn/…

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

21 years of PD by consultants in my many schools. I can’t think of one that was worth anything to my teaching or the schools’ functionality #stopthemadness #teachers #listen2teachers

This! 🙌

World, meet Mardah Chami Peretz. She had a worldly mysticism to her. Mardah made wonderful things happen. I had to wait a few years to do this portrait. She would’ve expected that. I miss her, dearly. instagram.com/p/CpJoEBUuPmG/…

I couldn’t be more proud of Ben Franklin students for walking out of class, especially mine, to protest the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation (LA HB102, LA HB81, & LA SB7). As teachers, we must always stand in solidarity with our students.

Imagine a school system that is flipped to serve the struggling student first and personal growth becomes THE main measure of achievement. There would be no being left behind. Then there is no need for Special education. There’s just education. #AutismAcceptanceWeek
