Can students see themselves in your teaching & curriculum? Recognize that each of us has our own culture that impacts our language & behavior in the classroom. Humble yourself and realize no teacher is culturally universal. Thank you Dr. Manuel Scott #1LISD #LISDCIC

Poverty is not just the lack of money but the lack of access to the types of people who can help you. How do we connect students with those that can help them? Loved the CIC keynote today. Thank you Dr. Manuel Scott for your words of wisdom. #lisdcic

“If school & district leaders prioritize teacher well-being in structural ways, their educators will be better equipped to tackle the myriad of student needs stemming from the pandemic and societal inequities. Teachers, their students, & the entire school community will thrive.”

Say her name: Akeelah Jackson. She was 12-years-old and run over by a St. Louis County cop who was driving nearly 60 MPH in a 30 MPH zone with no lights or sirens on. Yesterday, he was acquitted. Black girls deserve to know our lives matter. Black girls deserve to grow old.

Stamped by Jason Reynolds and Ibram XKendi was a life changing book for me. The historical/current truths are written in such a straight forward way, you cannot walk away without growth. Dare you to read it and not rethink and passionately create a better world. #txlege #FReadom

As a Mexican American daughter, this book hit me in my core. There were conversations and events in this book that I thought were just things my family did but I now know are cultural. I felt a sense of pride and wish this book was around when I was in high school. #FReadom

The complete story is up on CNN now - for more background information on Texas #FReadom and the group making it happen. cnn.com/2021/12/21/us/…

Classroom management is best achieved with relationships and community, not compliance. It works with a smile, not a scowl. It works with curiosity, not fear. It works with teachable moments, not punishment.

Dear Politicians: Please stop asking us how we will fix the teacher shortage and ask us why there is a teacher shortage. Sincerely, Educators
