@SarahR_Morris @Kate__Barnes @Office4EdPolicy When I think back to that session, I still smile! You all did a great job!

"And I especially loved how engaging and relevant the Issues in Education presentation was — watching the research practitioners live and in action truly made my teacher heart happy." —@2019ATOY ! Stacey, you are a gem! @Kate__Barnes @Office4EdPolicy news.uark.edu/articles/63603…

I truly don’t understand how 30 mins can fly by when I’m talking to educators but move so slowly when I’m cleaning! Thx, @JustinMinkel, for the invite to share space with the teacher leaders in your Current Issues in Education class to discuss policy, advocacy & teacher voice!

To all the female leaders, teachers, + changemakers at @ReachUniversity, in our communities and lives: We see you. We champion you. We thank you - on #InternationalWomensDay & always. You are making this world a more equitable, better place for the leaders of today + tomorrow✨

The Teachers Support Teachers Gala was a great way to bookend the hard work of the Teach Plus Arkansas Policy Fellows, some of who drove up to four hours for our work session. Congratulation, Katy Moore, for being awarded the Donna Powell English Excellence Award!

I am beyond thrilled to work along side such dynamic leaders on the 1 Million Teachers of Color campaign. Today’s virtual meeting had me in all my feels and super excited about the work ahead.

@OsyrusBolly @KwamiAbdulBey It was truly an honor to converse with y’all! Thanks for the invite.

If you’re an Arkansas educator who’s feeling overwhelmed by all the reform talk and/or are looking for ways to get involved but don’t know where to start, you should jump on our Wednesday zoom call to hear from our Policy Fellows/teacher leaders.

These teacher leaders fill my heart with so much love and pride.
