Whenever I won teacher of the year, I didn’t know that you then complete a district teacher of the year application with multiple essays, submit your resume, etc 😳… but I did it and… ✨Today, I was honored with District Teacher of the Year.✨

On Monday, I took the Special Education Certification Exam. After work today, I found out I am officially certified. Something told me to eat some cake at lunch today. 😂

Is your school community an "aligned organization"? This rubric from leader Frederick Buskey can help your team get on the same page as you head into the new school year. frederickbuskey.com/uploads/1/3/0/…

This simple activity encourages deep thinking and meaningful learning. -Identify 3 key facts learned. -Summarize the lesson in one sentence. -Connect the lesson to the real world -Share something they enjoyed about the learning experience. buff.ly/4h7QGFN

✨ I had the honor of presenting at today’s @GCCISDScience Curriculum Day. ✨ We shifted back into teacher mode and explored how writing can deepen science instruction through CER, ABYDOS, Kagan, and Lead4ward strategies. Ready for a year of purpose, connection, and growth.

@robertkaplinsky Is there another link that can be used? The current link says “invalid SSL certificate.”

What if there was a way to alter how you taught students or trained teachers so that they were more receptive to what you had to share? There is. And this blog post applies advertising techniques to education. robertkaplinsky.com/the-5-types-of…

@mulesinmathmode @Barrett_Duncan_ @CAMT_TX I loved this too!

I’m just gonna tell you, everything in this training was SO valuable, but this strategy to make a Frayer model is everything I didn’t know I needed. Thank you, @Barrett_Duncan_! It was SO great to learn from you!! @CAMT_TX #camt25

This activity is right up our alley! 🎳 You can grab items from around the house and set them up as pins to encourage math learning all year long. Thank you @MrsMorrow07 for sharing your subtraction bowling idea! #ITeachMath

The F.A.C.E.S. of mathematical fluency: Flexible Accurate Conceptual Efficient Strategic

So excited to launch the new fluency program that I developed for my campus. Everything in @LatrendaK’s #CAMT25 session, made me even more empowered to kick everything off!

I’m officially convinced that @kloneal2 is a legend after her Rockin’ Review in Reverse session at #CAMT2025. 🤍✨

Some of the highlight on Day ✌🏾at #CAMT25 • learned how to support struggling learners with @OrigoEducation • absorbed all the math interactive read aloud info from @MathCoachChlo • gained more knowledge on math workshop from @katyisd’s finest

Day three of #CAMT25 began with @Barrett_Duncan_ and how to elevate elementary math with extension and enrichment strategies for gifted learners.

Day ☝🏾 at #CAMT25 A few notes from @pgliljedahl’s session, From Perseverance to Productive Struggle.

I’ve read this book 4 times as of this past Wednesday; so many gems within it! @DrKramer1, you’ve helped me to launch this upcoming school year off right! 💪🏾

All professional development that I facilitate this upcoming school year are about to be on a level 20. I’ve got over 15 pages of notes and a brain loaded with ideas. 🤟🏾✨ #CAMT25

First time at CAMT and it did not disappoint! 🙌🏽 I connected with some amazing educators and walked away with fresh ideas and inspiration. Grateful for the good people and good vibes all around! #CAMT25 #LearningAndGrowing

Project-based learning once fueled my classroom—and this week, I brought that same spark as a math and science instructional coach. Watching K–4 students shine at The Greenprint Showcase, including Phoenix with her newly written second book, was heartwarming. @GCCISDScience

These past few weeks, we have been exploring Bluebonnet Learning lessons in 3rd through 5th grade classrooms. It was great to see how fluid the instruction was while using the Whiteboard app on the iPads for our fluency practice. @gccisd_edtech @CreekMath
