The best classroom management plan is your Classroom Relationship Plan. Intentionally setting aside time to develop relationships with and between students is the key to all students feeling they matter! When relationships nourish, students flourish! #Significant72

It’s probably a little vain to retweet your own quote. But, what I lack in humility I make up for in enthusiasm.

The most successful school-based #SEL initiatives do not solely exist as stand alone or packaged curriculums but consist through the very nature of every interaction and relationship that is fostered between students, adults, and families. #SELeveryday #edchat #kidsdeserveit

A great by-product of #SEL is that it not only creates the foundation for life-long learning but also stimulates the development of our most critical interpersonal skills; the ability to work collaboratively, show empathy for others, & communicate respectfully with diverse ppl.

"Two things can be true at the same time: Dr. Seuss is a prolific children’s book author and global icon. And Dr. Seuss has a history of racial baggage that educators should understand when introducing his writing to their students." #ReadAcrossAmericaDay tolerance.org/magazine/its-t…

Faculty & staff must 1st work to identify their strengths/weaknesses & create plans to develop their emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, & collaborative skills so that they model these qualities to students as the larger work of school-wide #SEL initiatives are underway.

This doesn’t happen everyday. It is fitting it happens on the day we are Blacking out for Black lives and hopefully supporting our local independent bookstores, too. The #1 and #2 overall bestsellers Amazon right now are two books challenging racism. This is you. 🖤🙏🏾🖤🙏🏾

Today, in a landmark ruling, #SCOTUS confirmed what we already know – that nobody deserves to lose their job because of who they are or how they identify.

Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered. tolerance.org/magazine/happy…
