This group of 7th graders from 2020 are about to begin their senior year of high school. This was one of last days together unknowingly as the pandemic was around the corner. Hoping to see some familiar faces in the hallways of BHS this year 🧡💙

So exciting to see and hear Tyler James Williams from @AbbottElemABC at #ISTELive23

First Day back from Winter Break! Starting strong with a session from @ConsciousTching. Always a fan of a PD where you can walk away with practical tangible tools to support students with trauma-informed practices 📚

Have you seen this woman or vehicle? Eliza Fletcher was abducted this morning in midtown Memphis while running. She was forced into a vehicle. There is no known direction of travel. Tips? Call @MEM_PoliceDept at 901-528-2274 or 901-545-2677, or TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND. 1/3

Excited to be joining this team!!

You know it's going to be a good day when Starbucks is playing "Jumpin', Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child at 7:45 am.

Thank you, Nashville, for showing up and showing out to support all of us crazies running in the heat today!!! ☀️🤪🏃🏼‍♀️#RnRNashville

@JustineMBruyere I feel so lucky to have had one of your classes!! You’re an incredible educator, and I know bright things are ahead! ❤️

@MrsLee708 Yes. The work of an educator is SO important, but it needs to be a sustainable career!

@MsBrainy_nerd Yes, thank you for sharing this . A new teacher last year was telling me about all their bonuses.. etc . Happy for them , but my thought was .. what about the folks that have hung around all these years ! I just remind myself.. “ great will your reward be in Heaven! “ ❤️

Reading about teacher shortages, “…policymakers often focus attention, understandably on how to get more teachers in the profession. However, it is equally important to focus on how to keep effective teachers in the workforce.”

Love seeing cross country members be recognized for excellence in the classroom!

This quote comes from an article by Sutcher, Darling-Hammond, & Carver-Thomas (2019) “Understanding Teacher Shortages: An Analysis of Teacher Supply and Demand in the United States”

Last semester at @vupeabody and PUMPED about my Teacher Policy class. Looking forward to learning about policies and issues that affect teachers and then in turn, affect our students.

I have never been more entranced with a commercial than the way I am with @TiffanyAndCo’s current ad feat. @Beyonce singing “Moon River.”

I just watched the Pilot of #AbbottElementary. I was nervous about how they would portray teachers, but I have to say, it was well done and accurate. Looking forward to more.

We are looking forward to meeting new runners and seeing old faces at tryouts this Thursday! 🗓️ May 27th 🕚 11:00 am - 12:00 pm 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️ BHS Track 🗣️ Make sure to sign up!

@NWSNashville @harleemorphis @MrsLee708 I feel like y’all would be interested in this!! I know you’re always trying to make learning real for your students.

Do you know a K-12 teacher who would love to have a meteorologist come "visit" their classroom? Did you know that we can come to your classroom virtually? We'd love to talk about weather basics, 🌪⚡🌩🌀, & more! Check out the link below to sign up ⬇ weather.gov/epz/education

In the last 2 hours, I’ve read a third of ‘Pushout’ by @MoniqueWMorris. I wish I had a more articulate response, but all I keep thinking is, “Every teacher needs to read this.”

🗣️Save the date! BMS CROSS COUNTRY TRYOUTS 🗓️May 27th 🕚11:00 am -12:00 pm 🔥Blackman High School Track
