Only need $95 now for my project to be fully funded! I’d love to get the bins before the school year ends so I can organize curriculum materials over the summer to help prepare for the upcoming school year.

What a great conversation between Principal Kafele & Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket ! Thank you for the continued inspiration in my journey in becoming a school leader! Trying to soak all this knowledge now so when it’s time for me to step into that leader role in a few years.

That’s a wrap on year 7! All in 3rd grade and continuing in 3rd grade next year. What a year and I couldn’t do it without my awesome grade partner, Rachel! We make the 3rd grade dream team in all of Philly. #3rdGradeTeacher #PhlEd #PhillyEducator

I facilitated my very first district wide PD on Math Centers! This was something out of my comfort zone, but I knew I had to do it as an aspiring school leader. Grateful for my partner who was awesome to work with throughout the whole process. #PhillyEducator #MathPd Philadelphia Schools

Hello Twitter Community! My classroom is in desperate need of a rug. Our current one is well used and well, not the best. Having a new fresh would be a great addition! All donations are being matched 2x! I only need $181 to get this project funded. tinyurl.com/5t5dazup

Love seeing Erin McCool still leading awesome workshops! I still try and hold onto my knowledge from Erin during the science inquiry institute I attend that she lead 7 years ago!

I’ve only been in my Pathways to Leadership Program since May and it has, along with working/talking with my own Principal here and there during the summer, really is opening my eyes through the lends of a School Leader. What I love is being able to do this with a cohort.

What’s sad it’s the same district that won’t provide the resources but yet will penalize teachers for using Amazon Wishlist or DonorsChoose. This is why there is a teacher shortage. They want to work teachers harder that doesn’t equal the pay or resources.

Out of all the financial aid offices I’ve dealt in my college career, Temple University’s financial aid office is the most frustrating because how difficult it is to get a hold of them and to schedule appointments. Like how you have no appointments not even in October?

Hello, Twitter community! Please consider donating to my DonorsChoose project. My classroom desperately needs a new classroom rug. A new rug would be a welcoming touch to start the new school year. Every donation is being matched! tinyurl.com/mttmtn5c

Let’s Go Yankees!

I didn’t realize I was transitioning to a woman. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m still mad at KFC for taking these off the menu and replaced them with nasty fries.

Hey Twitter Community! Please consider donating to my class project towards getting lamps in my classroom. The ceiling lights are harsh for me and my students, gives me migraines and headaches. I want to try and make a more calmer classroom vibe. tinyurl.com/mpcamvtd

Here we go! 8th year of teaching underway. All in 3rd Grade.#PhillyEducator #PhlEd #3rdGradeTeacher

Made it through the 3rd day of school aka 3rd Day of Third Grade. And yesterday started my new semester of school leadership classes 😭 I don’t know how I’m gonna juggle everything, but we’ll see. #3rdGradeTeacher #PhlEd #PhillyEducator

This week, we explored names as part of identity. Students interviewed adults about their names and created posters to share the stories behind their name. It was inspiring to hear their pride. I love doing identity work in the classroom. #3rdgradeteacher #PhillyEducator #PhlEd

Today I was able to attend the district monthly principal’s meeting since I’m in this Pathway To Leadership program. It was a good experience seeing things from the other side, but a lot of information to take in. I’m tired and I have class tonight #FutureSchoolLeader #PhlEd

One thing I’m trying to learn about myself while I’m in this school leadership program is figuring out what is my leadership style and how do I develop it. For those school leaders on my twitter, how did you figure out what was your leadership style? How did you you developed it?

Had a blast this weekend at the first ever CASA One Conference. CASA is the union in my district for administrators. It was great being with friends & making new connections. I also got to meet one of my leader heroes Principal Kafele speak! #PhlEd #AspiringSchoolLeader #Teacher
