That's it. I have to respond. My Call to Action --------> youtu.be/nK_Oub0hWmA nitter.gq/emibear101/status/7141…
Today we lost a friend. And at 16 I wish I didn't go to more funerals than weddings and that this world wasn't so cruel. #FlyHigh

My son has a broken arm, because boys. 🤦🏼♀️
His teacher sent this home. 💜💛 Best teachers, best school district. #Iowa #GiveLove #Waukee @WaukeeCSD
Wrapping up another cycle and have to pinch myself: How lucky am I to get to coach, learn from and alongside brand new teachers every day?!? And for 6 years?!? I love this work and I love these teachers. @WaukeeCSD

Every kid is a reader. The problem doesn’t lie with those who “don’t like” to read. The problem is in how we introduce, discuss, and “teach” reading to them, and what books we share and make available to them. The work is in figuring out how to reach each wonderfully unique kid.

Four days into the school year. Here are four books students have read & loved already. 📚❤️ #ProjectLITBookClub #powerofchoice #whyiteach
Recently re-read @BreneBrown’s ‘The Gifts of Imperfection’ and need to spend intentional time with Calm & Stillness, Self-Compassion, and Creativity. (Psst: Everyone should read this every year.) What are your best tricks for doing so in a busy life? And...GO!

Wanna identify the best teachers in a place? Ask the counselors; they know where kids are feeling safe, seen, and loved. Wanna plan meaningful, differentiated PD based on data? Same place.

Sending lots of love to all teachers and educators. They often say “finish strong,”I invite you to “finish whole.” Don’t let the inequities break you. You’ve come too far.
Sooooo energized by my work with @ajh2976 @KelliSturgill23 Chelsea Haaland and Kelli Sturgill. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 for these leaders 💜@WaukeeCSD

When @BreneBrown talks to her podcast guests about places they’d like to visit, I dream of a tv show that takes them both on that journey. I think it would be life-changing!

Teachers:
Check in with your students as humans this week.
Ask how they are doing mentally and emotionally.
Give them space to answer.
Validate their response.
Don’t just hustle to get work in or grades done.
Our students are stressed and need to be seen.

Will > skill. You can teach the “how to,” but the “want to” has to come from them.
Me and my littles just watched this together and it’s amazing!!! #respect Dancing With 10-Foot Stilts youtu.be/Qn9fHjJVNj8 via @YouTube

Steven Danna has been playing tennis for as long as he can remember. But this spring looks a little different. The @WaukeeHS senior went through an incredible battle, just to be able to pick up his racquet one more time. @WaukeeTennis

This is way more disrespectful than taking a knee during the anthem. Waiting for that same kind of outrage.
