Some of my favorite classroom moments are when we're sitting in a circle talking about great stories and asking questions about them. Looking forward to my class socratic seminar on Gatsby next week. #molloyleadershiplevels @kemnitzer3

I build culture by greeting kids in the halls by name, even if I had them as students last year, even if they're trying to hide. No kid should ever feel invisible in high school. #molloyleadershiplevels @kemnitzer3 @thomascmurray

Edpuzzle live...not just for the days of hybrid! My kids were super engaged in a dystopian satire tv episode. I got to interact with them AND see a log of their thoughts as they watched. #molloyleadershiplevels @kemnitzer3

Keeping the spirit of inquiry strong and visible in the English classroom! #molloyleadershiplevels @kemnitzer3

@thomascmurray "Hidden Stories Within"--we do all want to be understood, and knowing each other's stories the key to keep empathy alive in schools. #molloyleadershiplevels @kemnitzer3

Every teaching day I remind myself to focus on the small, good things that happen. Two days ago a student walked into my room talking about Fitzgerald's "sad, long sentences". When kids read at home and want to talk about it...!!! @kemnitzer3 #molloyleadershiplevels

I'm really proud of the culture of "thank-yous" in my building. It's so ingrained that even my Study Hall kids routinely thank me as they walk out! @kemnitzer3 #molloyleadershiplevels

Takeaways from Culturize: am I a "merchant of hope"? (love the poetry of that metaphor) do I "carry the banner" for my school? Do I think about my students in terms of "can" or "can't"? @casas_jimmy @kemnitzer3 #molloyleadershiplevels

I love seeing the kids whose "place" in high school is the library. I love that it's sought-after. Libraries have always been my go-to place to find quiet, be surrounded by books, browse the stacks, think... @kemnitzer3 #molloyleadershiplevels

#characterincurriculum Shouldn't every student be told and believe this?!
