Our teachers will do what they can to make an impact with our students this fall but the fear and anxiety of teaching with COVID will be present. We will do our best because we know our students deserve our best. That’s all we can ask for. #gettingready #sisepuede

Virtual conference #LaCosecha2020...Learning from colegas around the country. #LaCosecha2020

Hey YOU...don't YOU dare let challenges, obstacles, circumstances, situations or people discourage YOU from YOUR dream!

Because I am Latino, I might be asked if I am from “here” or if I am from “there.” As a bilingual, I am from both...here and there. Gracias Dr. José Medina (él, he, his, him) for today’s session.

My last day in Ceres Unified…provided the new admin with a decade of work and some guidance. The torch has been passed. I praised them for the journey and the work they will embark, adding greatness to our dual language academy. I will see the growth from a short distance.

Wondering the size of impact teachers can have on their students with this one activity…Exploring Perceptions About Identity Through Self-Portraits edutopia.org/video/explorin…

Give children a chance to voluntarily choose their own literacy, as it makes them better understand language, and enjoy reading as well. Opens the door for more reading… “82% more traffic and 38% increase in regular checkouts when the library had comic books.”#Krashen NABE- National Association for Bilingual Education

The conversations about self-care over the last two years have been increasing for educators. I’m glad the focus is on meeting basic needs for oneself but I also worry that as educators we will forget who we are serving. #selfcare #equity #childrenfirst #masbloom

This year, all people who work with and for children, should consider the best possible outcomes of their choices, so that all the children they directly and indirectly serve, are provided with the best year ever. #weserve #LeadershipMatters #makeanimpact #studentsfirst

One positive thought, followed by another, and one more can cause a positive chain reaction. Push the negative thoughts out and give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.

Annual teacher swap! I started this tradition years ago! All teachers swap roles for a day to keep things fun and engaging on one of the days leading up to Christmas break! #whyiquest #schoolculture Quest Academy #uted Ms Paige Melanie Hueftle Courtney #forthestudents

Haven’t posted in a while … After transitioning from a district position to a county and regional level over the summer, I’ve been experiencing a new impact of connectivity. Greater things happen when you don’t work alone.

May this year be a great year for you and your families…
