In 40 yrs I've seen this SOR focus so often on 1 undeniably important part of reading 2the exclusion of even more important+magical aspects of engagement, comprehension, response, pleasure, exploration-and it hurts children! #Reading #readingforpleasure edweek.org/teaching-learn…

We had the most inspiring speaker at our convocation today! #AGTOUGH helped teachers start of their year feeling valued by the students and families we serve! “You are loved, and your work matters!” So proud to have been able to be this wonderful human’s teacher for six years!♥️

The attacks on the #LGBTQ community absolutely sickens me. Our youth deserve spaces of safety, not suffering. Check out my recent post about a former student. My life is brighter bc I a had the honor of experiencing his light! Shine on, Devin🏳️‍🌈👊🏽 drjameswhitfield.com/2022/08/19/abo…
