Here's why we don't "wait until kids are ready" to begin reading instruction in kindergarten - a 🧵: Most often our markers of "readiness" are interest and/or skill. 1/

@FanaticsSupport ordered 2 screen printed Astros shirts with names/numbers on the back. They are stretched and puckered. Need to return for a refund but my order shows that it hasn’t been delivered so no return options available. Please help!

School climate and culture is EVERYONE’S job. You are responsible for what you bring into a space. Love learning from @MichaelBonner_ this morning!

@astros Let’s go ‘stros! #levelup

All. Of. This.

A reading from the book of aspiring principal... Not everyone feels appreciated in the same way. What works for me, might not work for someone else. As a leader, just because I’m giving appreciation, doesn’t mean they’re feeling it. Know your people, Erika.

This Thanksgiving season I’m thankful for all teachers. Ya’ll have been drinking out of a fire hydrant since March, and somehow, you still show up every damn day for kids. Thank you. Take time for you this weekend.

schools in spring 2020: the world is ending. testing is canceled. everything is pass/fail. take care of yourself. schools in fall 2020: the world is ending. wear a mask while you take your test. please make sure your assignments are in on time.

Don't write off students who struggle and label them as lazy or unmotivated. Instead, be curious about the skills they're missing that we can teach them to help them succeed. Let's assume the best about kids. Most often they want to succeed but may not have the tools...yet.

You're not grading assignments. You're collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing them towards their next steps. Make the mental switch. It matters.

There's nothing like the real thing! RETWEET for your chance to win an authentic#⃣1⃣2⃣ jersey from the SEC era. pres. by @CHIStJoseph | #GigEm

Diversity is who is in the room. Inclusion is who has influence in that room. Anti-racism is a mindset, way of being, and goal for a group of people in a room. These are not interchangeable terms.

Major shout out to @Angel_Bateman for her guidance and leadership this week and always. She has truly shown what it means to have a “people first” mentality and lead with a servant’s heart. You are loved and appreciated more than you know! @JWEKaty
