I love this quote Jessie Rosario! Nobody likes to hear blanket statements about how we need to “change our teaching.” It’s significantly more helpful to first discuss what we need the most support with and what we would like to learn, then go from there. #EDLR5402

"Relationships matter in all of this work." Allison Rodman this quote resonates with me so much. I have always valued strong, positive relationships with my colleagues and my students. It makes my classroom a more enjoyable place to be! #EDLR5402

Y'all know I don't play when it comes to equity in schools. Thank you edutopia for the opportunity to speak about how it's important to begin the year with equity, and how we can ask questions in an attempt to make this possible for our students. edutopia.org/article/beginn…
