How I start each day with my students. 1️⃣Stand at the door. 2️⃣Greet every student by name. 3️⃣ Ask them how they are doing. 4️⃣Tell them how glad you are to see them. 5️⃣Smile and be real. I firmly believe we have to #relate2educate It is part of being human!

Nothing better than seeing a teacher attend a training, implement, and see success!! Kagan Publishing & Professional Development structures are my favorite because they allow ALL students to be engaged in learning! Hillsborough Schools HCPS Magnet Schools and Programs Kristin Tonelli

Data, rigor, standards, testing, etc is all important, but so is creating meaningful experiences and celebrating our students’ cultures! So proud of MacFarlane Park Elementary Magnet School for making our Diwali celebration a tradition! HCPS Magnet Schools and Programs Hillsborough Schools

Teachers teach because they're awesome humans. They also teach because they need to make a living and need to be paid as professionals. Let's stop convoluting the two.

Thank you to UTampa Dept. of Education for partnering with our school and thank you to our awesome MacFarlane Park Elementary Magnet School teachers for sharing your classrooms with these promising teachers of tomorrow!

Imagine if the people who see k-12 as a babysitter paid them as such. A very conservative figure would be: 30 students x 300 per week for 36 weeks = 324,000.00

In case you didn’t know- I made a HUGE career change about 5-6 months ago! Although there has been a giant learning curve, I am lucky to have a great team around me and the ability to work from home! I miss all my education friends and family but have enjoyed it so far!!!
