YES!!!

If we overvalue technology & lose sight of the vital role of teachers in the classroom, we will lose more than we gain. Building a relationship with your students will have a far greater impact on their future success than making sure they have the latest tech available. #edchat

It is simply not possible to express in words the amount of damage Donald Trump has done to this country. And all of it could have been prevented if white men in positions of power stood up to him, instead of cowering at his feet. ALL. OF. IT.

Referring to test-score gaps as "achievement" gaps implies that the tests are valid measures of meaningful proficiencies. But what they mostly measure is skill at taking tests. Lots of examples in "TestThink," a useful 2004 article I'd forgotten about: is.gd/WqbCVW

“Quit making the misbehaved student the most important student in the class/school” ~Todd Whitaker Ks Multi-Tier System of Supports and Alignment 93% of misbehaved students want attention. 7% want power.

Bryan Cranston hits the nail on the head regarding the "Make America Great Again" movement. Just because white Americans think that the past was "great" doesn't mean it was to ALL Americans. Civil rights in this nation have been progressively moving forward, and although

There is a massive teacher and staff shortage in the state of Florida that has only grown more severe in the past few years. Politicians will not solve this shortage, or improve the learning conditions of our students, by attacking the rights of Florida's teachers and staff.

A great life lesson my dad used to say was, "Beware of those who preach their beliefs louder than they live them; actions reveal the true heart."
