Girls On The Run is an amazing program. I was able to witness amazing teachers and counselors create bonds and mentor the young girls in the GOTR group at Yez Prep West. Excited to see that my new district Spring Branch is also a contributor! @MsMathre @PRGonzales80 @CVkalvarez

A must read. Though it does not relate to education directly, the lesson of forgiveness does apply. We ought to remember that school is a place to learn, students should always get a 2nd chance to do better, because the world they go into might not give that 2nd chance. @MsMathre

I recently rewatched both sister acts and as a teacher I really appreciate all the moves that sister Mary Clarence uses in her class like giving them goals, having them repeat mantras to build self worth, listening to them, having high standards & never giving up. #sisteract
In the latest episode of our new podcast, we’re bowing our heads in deep reflection of #SisterAct2. What do you think, is the Tomatometer right or wrong about the movie? editorial.rottentomatoes.com…
I've been reflecting on how some of my students thrived while others struggled this year. They made it through a tough year and are stronger for it. No matter the results, I'm proud of them. "The student's victory is the teacher's glory" edsource.org/2021/teachers-r…

2 days of grueling T-TESS training: it's safe to say that I'm brain dead & in need of more practice w/ scripting. But it's remarkable to see the dedication of my peers & the drive to be objective, analytical, & centered around teacher professional growth @MsMathre @CVkalvarez
