I had so much fun reading in Tracy Edmisten’s 4/5 class today. Thank you for the invite! I’m buying this book for Utt. Even middle schoolers would enjoy the message of this amazing book written by a 6th grader!

Small wins-these 8th grade boys were in my office last week for an end of year “chat.” At the end they asked to come back during tutorials to stay focused and work. They came through! We spoke about high school, football, & got some work done too. Relationships matter! #Culturize

First Utt Promotion Ceremony in the books! What a wonderful and joyous celebration. Thank you to these two amazing friends & hard workers who made my 1st year fun, memorable, & full of laughs! #tusdTHRIVES #WeAreTUSD

We had a blast celebrating our 8th graders tonight. Go out and ROCK high school! #falconslevelup #wearetusd

Thanks for a great year Falcons! We celebrated 2nd semester honor roll with donuts and said goodbye to 2018-2019. Best of luck to our 8th graders! #falconslevelup #WeAreTUSD

Conducting T interviews this week. Only 1/20 spoke about engaging lessons = better classroom mgmt. 🤔

Touring JPL today. So lucky my bff since 7th grade engineers here for an inside look at Mars 2020. This will be my personal motto for 19-20.

I better get busy. #SummerReading

Book #1 ✅. So many amazing nuggets in this one. “Being a champion for all Ss means just that: all students.” “NOT changing is scary.” “Ppl need to know what you stand for.” And so much more! Thx Jimmy Casas for the great read & platform for my summer planning.

Thank you for tweeting my thoughts. 😉 While “prettier,” the real magic comes when students are actively discussing and thinking through well thought out questions and images. Let’s get there!

I learn a lot about leadership by watching Captain Sandy Yawn ⚓ on Below Deck Med. Direct, kind, listener, problem solver, customer service, human, & teamwork.

Powerful...be the change! Jrod1009
