Best Spanish teacher, group, Halloween costume ever! Thank you, Diamond, Spanish teachers for making us laugh!

The hardest part of using the Social Justice Standards in a MS WL class setting is ACTION. Students did that in the Futuro Sostenible unit that culminated with a presentation fair between 8th grade classes. Gracias @profemely, @Pimendi1, profes Herbert y Porter! @ClarkePrincipal

#ACTFL23 Very excited to be presenting in Chicago with @profemely & @amoranLHS See you there!

So proud of my senior! Can’t wait to celebrate their art!

We are approaching the end of another school year. Here are three leadership truths for reflection and renewal: 1. A program will never have as much impact as your practice. 2. An instructional leader does not simply “sponsor” learning for others. They participate in learning with others. 3. Great schools move from islands of excellence to systematic impact with high levels of collective efficacy and commitment. @ascd #collectivegreatness

Lexington’s very own Kathryn and Geetika engaging in teamwork! @ClarkePrincipal @lexingtonsuper @lexedfoundation Thank you LEF!

I think he wants to have as much fun as we are #ASCD23
