First day of year 8 teaching and year 1 at @ISBangkok. What an invigorating day in the middle school!

Learning comes in ALL shapes, and educator @MrsAsquino's exit ticket celebrates three of them: #slide=id.p" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/presentation/d…

And just like that 4 years at @kispride have come to an end. So grateful for the time spent here. #alwaysaphoenix

god this is powerful

I can't fathom ever teaching in the US again for many reasons... but this is the top of the list. Students and teachers shouldn't have to fear for their lives when they walk through the school doors. Thoughts and prayers are useless.

Putting into words what being a teacher felt like today is nearly impossible. Even from 7000 miles away. Even in a country where guns are illegal. How do you explain to 7th graders why tragedies like this continue to happen?

“Why are you here?!" A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting. “Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Schools scared to death. The truth is, one education under desks, Stooped low from bullets; That plunge when we ask Where our children Shall live & how & if

Waking up in South Korea to news of a school shooting in Texas. My heart breaks for families in Uvalde. I cannot imagine the fear that gripped educators as they fought to save their students lives. 💔

Is my teaching career complete now? Do I just retire or…

I cannot wait to join this community in August!

To students, educators and families in Florida—and everywhere—we support who you know yourselves to be. We say gay. We say trans. We say intersex. We say your names, pronouns, identities and strengths with love. We say you belong.

@RethinkShinola Thank you for sharing that. However, my original tweet had nothing to do with that social media account.

Today in #7thgrade we are going to begin our conversations on race. We plan to talk about racial identity, the dangers of stereotyping, and why Black Lives Matter. #socialstudies4socialjustice

Why not bring the craze into the classroom 🤷🏼‍♀️

Today in advisory we talked about the origins of the BLM movement. In Social Studies we talked about the impacts of climate change on those in the LGBTQIA+ community. It really hit me that if I still taught in Texas I could be fired for having those same conversations.

Is @Flipgrid down right now? I keep getting 503 Error when trying to log into the Educator Dashboard.

We had some very intense speed debate partners in Social Studies last week. #sschat #teachertwitter

This isn’t freedom. This isn’t happening in any other high income country. No other nation would tolerate this. We don’t have to either. Text ACT to 644-33. Use your voice and vote to stop gun violence. 📸 at Oxford High School in Michigan by @ericseals of @freep
