Yesterday was joy and dreaming while embodying the portrait. Co-Creating with some amazing youth was the most amazing experience. Appreciate these amazing young people who joined me and their amazing teacher @mrspencilstick empowering their leadership and letting me borrow them!

I really should get better at looking at my social media over here. I’m tagged in a lot of stuff over the last couple of months! 😆 one day I’ll tell you the story of how my life got flipped outside down and how I became…

@DrVEvansWinters It’s a struggle! I find myself trying to figure out where I fit within any of it only to think I don’t.

“Business thinks in terms of quarterly earnings and production. Artist think in terms of timeless excellence..” Rick Ruben… This is education currently - Who’s the artist and what’s the business is all in perspective… thoughts?

"You have to have the capacity to understand talent and potential; and if you understand both and you don’t have narrow perceptions of what human beings can do, you can take flight in lots of ways." - Ruth J. Simmons

Flying to Austin… this will be my second time in under 2 years. Headed to @SXSWEDU to lean in and learn as well as 🥁🥁🥁I’m a “speaker” during the Village Meet Up: Advocates for Neurodiversity! Stop by and connect!

@rmcaruthers @SXSWEDU @AKASMOM I’ll be in there @rmcaruthers! We have to actually meet in person.

Early bird gets the worm! Taking pics with the fun @SXSWEDU backgrounds before everything starts tomorrow!! @AKASMOM

@jerseycityjoan @drboycewatkins1 This is part of the problem! They aren’t wounded… they are in a system that was not designed for them. Many lower their expectations and use assessments and evaluations that aren’t normed for their context or created with cultural context to box them in!

@drboycewatkins1 2/ How do we all help the wounded black kids? That is what I want to know. Their lives should be better. Their burdens are great and they need help that will actually help them. I want to know.

Here’s your real racism: 1. African-American students are more than three times as likely as white students to be suspended or expelled from school. 2. African-American students are more than twice as likely as white students to be identified as having a learning disability. 3. African-American students are more than twice as likely as white students to be placed in lower-track classes. 4. African-American students are twice as likely as white students to drop out of high school. 5. African-American students are two times more likely than white students to be suspended for the same offenses.

@k8roulette2 I got my PhD for the exact same reason; out of spite of leaders who were unsupportive and compared me to other teachers telling me to teach more like them!

Looking forward to leaning into the Teacher Network to facilitate this evening’s session @TeachPlusNV

Check out the new article. This is why I’m on a mission to support special education teachers by building capacity of both leaders and teachers!

This Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In the wake of Roe's reversal, @FLRutledgePhD says the time is now for comprehensive sex education that talks about abortion access and reproductive justice. theeducatorsroom.com/roe-versus-wad…

@tracyrenee70 Loved reading this book…centering humanity in how we look at data! Using it in practice now.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing students deserve well-trained teachers, and we're not doing enough to ensure this. @FLRutledgePhD shares why Teachers of the Deaf matter, and how we can recruit, train, and retain the teachers Deaf/HoH students deserve. theeducatorsroom.com/teachers-of-th…
