Unexpected sabbatical lesson: the last day of school is more sad than happy.

I truly love working in a school in my own community. This is a feeling only slightly tested by pool season.

I just realized I hate the phrase “life got in the way”. This IS life.

First day teaching in person in 2.5 years. Here goes nothing!

I am so incredibly grateful for the editors and authors of Critical Theories for School Psychology and Counseling. Every single program should be embedding these chapters in syllabi and instruction. routledge.com/Critical-Theor…

What disclaimers do you use when reporting rating scale data?

During our first phases of COVID, calling in sick felt like the responsible thing to do. Am I the only one finding that it is back to feeling like something to apologize for?

So sweet seeing kids point out their art projects to their families on conference night!

One thing I dislike about supervising grad students is missing them when they move on. I like/love mostly everything else. Consider becoming a supervisor!

Happy #nspw from US Bank

Very impressed.

The Petchelor is a top 5 thing in my life right now. IYKYK Anna Li 李安娜

I really want to see some memes of #scienceofreading people listening to/celebrating #soldastory. I haven’t even listened yet but I’m betting there’s some major celebration going on

MSPA stands in solidarity with Dr. Celeste Malone, her family, friends, and colleagues. The actions of the Hyatt Regency Denver were unacceptable and indicative of the continued work we must do in our journey toward anti-racism.

Here’s hoping we reconsider future convention venues. Like, immediately. Idk if this is something delegates get to influence, but one can hope. Public apology is literally the LEAST you can do, and still not done. #hyattsowhite

The school I work for has “comfy day” every Monday during the spring and I can’t even tell you how much more it makes me want to go to work.

Three positive things today: 1) I observed the Reading Corps intervention Word Construction and it’s AWESOME 2) I went to a birthday party for a prac student that was instigated by an elementary student 3) I’m at a softball game and the mostly middle school kids are joyful.

The worst my brain ever works is when it’s the end of the school year and people ask me anything about my summer availability. I. Do. Not. Know.
