This is one of my favorite moments of the year - getting to welcome a new LASTOY. Congratulations to @BritBonnaffons, our 2023 Louisiana State Teacher of the Year and newest member of the #LASTOY family! Can’t wait to celebrate her and all of the other honorees!

Everyone, meet our 2023 Louisiana Elementary Teacher of the Year Matthias Drewry. We’re so lucky to have Matthias Drewry in North LA doing incredible work with kids. Congratulations, sir! Can’t wait to celebrate you and others at the gala! @La_Believes Dream Teachers #LASTOY

A teacher. A scholar. An artist. Our 2023 Louisiana High School Teacher of the Year, Justin Templet, is as dynamic outside of the classroom as he is with his students. Can’t wait to celebrate It’s Me, Templet and the other honorees in a few weeks! @La_Believes Dream Teachers #LASTOY

No rest when it comes to equity work. I’m thrilled to be part of some tough but important conversations at the NEA Leaders for Just Schools conference and join up with my state and national cohort to chart out the road ahead! LAE PrettyDestinyDoc

We had the privilege of speaking to 80 new teachers this morning and discussed all the great trainings and tools available to them as part of #TeamCaddo. Grateful for another year serving our kiddos and supporting our teachers! #WeAreCaddo

Moving out of the classroom and into the role of supporting our Caddo Parish Public Schools students, families, and teachers has been a life-changing opportunity beyond measure. I’m grateful everyday to have the love and support of an incredible district!

Later, bestie.

As a first generation, Pell Grant-receiving college graduate who has served my community as an educator for over a decade, I can officially say that I am soon to be student loan debt free. This would have taken over ten more years to say otherwise. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump.

Beyond excited to be starting another first day at Reach University. Being part of the mission to provide new and innovative ways to address the teacher pipeline is incredible and I can’t wait to meet my new students!

With all the #D23Expo2022 goodness being shared, I'm more excited than EVER to co-lead the Northern France & Disneyland Paris with 𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕣 𝕂𝕚𝕡𝕖𝕣 and Juan E Gonzalez Jr. June 2023. I have to see Marvel Avengers Campus in person!! Bookbag Tours #teacherswholovedisney #teachertravel

So much "wow" in one day! These Caddo Parish Public Schools educators are our deserving scholarship winners for this year's Caddo Teacher Tech LACUE scholarship opportunity. They'll be joining us in New Orleans to gain some awesome ed tech knowledge! #WeAreCaddo

For me, the awesomeness with using EVERFI with students came with pairing it with other complimentary curriculum and activities. What are some innovative ways some of you in my network have used when implementing #EVERFI in your instruction?

Standing room only at our presentation for Caddo Parish Public Schools EdTech coaching model! If you’re at #LACUE22, we hope you enjoyed it! Do you think you’ll bring any part of it back to your district? 🤔

That’s a wrap on #LACUE22! Thank you New Orleans for being the best host city to these shenanigans. Great week for our Caddo team, and for our scholarship recipients! Can’t wait for #LACUE23! #WeAreCaddo

Happy early birthday!
