Spending meaningful time with some of the most gifted educators in the country has filled my cup to overflowing. The Milken Family Fdn community teems w/ creativity, inspiration, substance, accountability, vision, impact, & most impressively, humility. Privileged to call them family. #MFF

Communities of Practice is how we gain new insights, skills & perspectives that help improve work & enhance contributions. Thanks Superintendent Jill Baker, Ed.D. @LongBeachUSD & her instructional team for hosting! Looking forward to visiting again soon!

What a joy celebrating my friend & Milken Family Fdn colleague's (Jane Fung) retirement. Her celebration was packed w/ 100s of people honoring her impactful legacy in the classroom. Her kindergartners who have now become deputy sheriffs, educators, and more all returned to celebrate! WOW!

As we start our Learning Forward Board Meeting, what a joy to be greeted by Dr. Veronica Madrigal (She, Her, Ella)’s face published in Learning Professional journal. Congratulations on your success & for shining a BRIGHT light on the work at Grant ES and LBUSD. #proudtobeLBUSD

TY Jill Baker, Ed.D. for bringing this EdD program to LBUSD in collaboration w/ SDSU Education. It has been a TRANSFORMATIVE learning & leadership experience for me & my colleagues. I am excited to implement the learning as we collectively lead for liberation in education. #proudtobeLBUSD

Being an instructional coach means having difficult conversations that may stir up emotions. But it's important to feel the emotions and metabolize them, instead of avoiding them. Here's how: ow.ly/FQeT50PPMZu Teaching Matters #TheLearningPro #EduCoach

Gearing up for the SDSU Doctoral Graduation Rehearsal. Filled with gratitude for the sacrifices my family made to make this moment possible. #LeadingforLiberation

Grateful for my family & all of their support to make this moment happen. And thank you SDSU Education and San Diego State University for a phenomenal doctoral experience that centered equity learning, evoked critical discourse, & reshaped my life for years to come. #LeadingforLiberation

When someone understands the assignment… amazing. As a graduation gift for the EdD, my college bestie (Mark), saved the J’s that hung on our dorm at UC Davis when it was being torn down. He kept one. He gifted me the other last night. Super meaningful. #nailedit #lovemypeople
