Pay attention everyone. This is the challenge: The conflating of teaching reading and the science of reading with being only about “phonics”. Educate yourselves, friends. Every teacher is a reading teacher. That includes fluency, word study (vocabulary), and comprehension.

Texas is experiencing a humanitarian crisis.
People are burning furniture to heat their homes, melting snow to flush their toilets, risking carbon monoxide poisoning to protect their children.
If Texas was a country, we would call it a “failed state.” #txlege

Today I filed HB 1246 to fund our schools based on enrollment & not attendance.
Texas is one of just a handful of states to fund schools based on attendance & not enrollment. We have seen during this pandemic that our funding model short changes our kids.

I love that this starts with the assumption that teachers are going to do everything in their power to help their students and families. School leaders support students by supporting teachers. Student-focus vs. adult-focus is a false choice.

Teachers are EXHAUSTED.
Again, teachers are EXHAUSTED. How are we taking care of our teachers, not just our kiddos and families? @AISDSupt

What if we regularly gave teachers 3 weeks to learn and plan together prior to the start of the year while systematically contacting all families to ensure they have the resources they need to fully engage in learning?

Hey, y’all, teachers of the tiniest humans: CAPS FOR SALE WAS PUBLISHED IN 1940! We can stop using it as an emergent storybook now. It is not culturally responsive in any context. 🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. #DisruptTexts #fortinyhumanstoo

We need to discuss the ways schools can be & are trauma-inducing & trauma-exacerbating before we can be trauma-informed. In what ways are we the problem or a part of the problem for children of color? #antiracist
