Now is the opportunity to track and grade based on learning and student growth. Meet students where they are and create a plan to accelerate learning rather than moving students through a set grade-level,curriculum without regard for their readiness. Standards- based!

Despite a $33 billion budget surplus, the session has ended with no increase in the basic allotment and no rasies for teachers. bit.ly/3IMh74L #txed

Leaders without integrity are leaders in name only. #leadership

Must see thread! And while James Talarico is a Democrat, he is a former public school teacher asking truly bipartisan and fair questions. #txlege

There are so many sensible funding priorities to consider: school safety, enrollment-based per pupil, special-ed, teacher recruitment, staff compensation, basic allotment, accountability & assessment reform, SEL supports etc. Following this example won’t make TX a leader.

We have a governor who hurts families & children with egregious cruelty. We have an attorney general who mocks God with his adultery, criminality and graft. We have a legislature that refuses living wages for teachers. All this while spouting Jesus in every breath. #hypocrisy

The moment you become comfortable with failure your chances of success go way, way down.

Congratulations to Martha Salazar Valdez! Well deserved

They just want their foot in the door so they can blow up the whole public school system. Don’t be fooled for one second. Their overarching goal is to utterly and completely destroy public schools in the name of Christian Nationalism. Leaving our most marginalized kids behind.

Analysis without action is pointless TEPSA #txed #tepsa

Treat every person you meet as if they are special because in fact, they are.

You need to watch truly extraordinary teachers carefully to figure out how they do what they do, but to appreciate the quality of their teaching you need only watch their students

Engagement and empowerment.

If your people can't trust you your people can't follow you. #leadership

Great leaders are humble on the outside and confident on the inside. #leadership

Don't simple tell people what you see in them. Ask them what they see in themselves. 1. What qualities do you have that will serve you well in this new challenge? 2. How have you succeeded in the past? 3. What do past failures warn you to do next? bit.ly/2DleBgY
