A negative interaction with a student can be just a negative interaction, or it can be an opportunity for connection and growth. When you encounter those tense, challenging moments with a student, remember it could be a chance to do your best work.

Amanda Gorman’s message serves as an inspiration to us all. #InaugurationDay

Nichole Campbell and Peggy Nayar started teaching math with culturally relevant topics and themes of social justice, and they found their students showing up with new energy and eagerness to engage. For more on this work and lesson examples: bit.ly/3qh1QxV #mathchat

What a day! I got to be apart of an incredible panel of educators (Dr. Dorothy White, Jernita Randolph, @Luz_BilngMathEd, @PSESDmathLeslie) who strive to mitigate inequities in math education CTCTM. I learned so much and I can't wait to see how my kids respond to it! #ctctm

"Children aren't too young to be introduced to concepts when they affect the way they live." YAAAAAS! Love the way @apron_education integrates social studies in the classroom. #EverythingisTeachable

Now we’re talking!

Got myself @saeed_shane's book today! Just in time for back to school. Based on what I've read so far, I already know it's going to help me build a conflagration of a classroom community. 🔥🔥🔥

Tomorrow is the first day of planning. I just moved houses. Have I unpacked? No. Is there electrical grounding in my house? Nope. Did I just make a doormat with myself, my wife and my cat on it? YAAAAAAS. #priorities #lastdayoffreedom #mccoylaw

I finally understand why parents think their children are geniuses. My cat just sat in my spot after I got up from my couch for 30 seconds. She stole my warm spot. WHAT A SMART GIRL. She is going to Cat Harvard.

Each person, every day has the ability to enhance positive connections, elevate learning & influence culture.

It's time again for SHINBUCKS! I hope my kids feel sorely disappointed when they realize that these are not actual Benjamins. #ilivetotrickchildren
