I’m starting this year with a book club selection and a professional book. #PD4uAndMe

Monday, January 6, 2025 will be a calamity day (This is NOT a Remote Learning Day.)

My classes set one word intentions for the new year. We had 3 snow days this week, so we’re behind. My #OneWord2025 is JOY. I will seek joy in people and activities that lift my spirit, I will recognize moments of joy in daily life, and I will cultivate joy in others. #pd4uandme

🌟Come see us at the Showcase today!🌟Session 4

Today a student said to me, “You really love us, don’t you?” Yes, yes I do. 🥰

State testing has been a whirlwind the past couple weeks, but I’m proud of the students’ efforts and patience as we completed it. I’m feeling optimistic for their results.

Chris Emdin AND Emily Francis at one event - Count me in!!! This schedule is packed with sessions focused on literacy for all learners, but especially for MLLs and ELs. (And it’s free!)

I support public schools because they give every student opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. #Red4Ed #ProtectOhioStudents

I’m eager to read the responses to this question. To me, student choice is essential. They need freedom to select topics, genres, and types of texts. They also need freedom to abandon a choice if it isn’t holding their interest. #pd4uandme

The life stories of Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ and her students are excellent examples of how determination and encouragement lead to success. I’ve shared excerpts with my classes, but SPN versions will make it accessible to so many others.

Tonight was a very special graduation ceremony. Four years ago I started at HHS and tonight‘s graduates have been my world for 4 years. I am so proud of what they have overcome and achieved and the adults they have become. We have laughed, cried, and tonight we celebrated. 🎉💙🎓

Happy last day of school! Have a safe, enjoyable summer!🎉💙☀️

Thank you to Tan K Huynh (he/his) 🇱🇦🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 and HCESC for a great day of learning at the ML Summit! I look forward to helping students reach the next level.

Teachers Aren't Prepared or Equipped to Teach ELs: Two points to emphasize as we work to improve: collaboration between content area teachers and EL specialists is essential, & curriculum must include meaningful speaking opportunities. edweek.org/teaching-learn…
