Maria Angala, NBCT

Let me be clear: Each person has the right to make decisions about their own life—decisions such as the right to start a family, use contraception, and marry the person you love.

MEN SHOULDN’T BE MAKING LAWS ABOUT WOMENS BODIES IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Oh myyy!

My AAPI fans and to all allies of my community: There is an all Asian Marvel superhero movie out, for the first time ever. This is not a drill, this is not an option. See it. #ShangChi

The best thing you can do today is to speak out against violence toward Asians in this country, especially if you yourself are not Asian. Thank you to all who use their platform to spread support and love.

Sending support and love to all our Asian American friends and colleagues in Atlanta. Let us all work together in addressing racism and violence everywhere. Remember that love is always stronger than hate. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿#StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHate

Mayor announces DCPS will be all-virtual to begin the school year. Pledges to ensure all students who need a device will be provided one.

I think some people really take for granted for much work it is for educators to set up meaningful, engaging lessons for their students over zoom. There's a bizarre narrative that online teaching is easier for educators, but I don't know a single teacher who thinks that's true.

So many educators I know are now spending their entire summer "vacation" preparing lessons for both online *and* in-person scenarios because they don't know the context they'll be teaching in yet. Our teachers, at all levels, need our empathy & patience more than ever these days.

When Zoom thinks your shirt is a green screen... @DelisaMBrooks wins the prize for coolest NBCT wardrobe effect! Most awesome #ALNBCTBootCamp panelist too!

Oh my goodness...it's getting real. Education needs mirrors, not just windows. #nbacademy #stepuptothechallenge @DoloresZenon @selmekki @NBPTS @NBCTNAME @TXNBCT

We can no longer let our black and brown students suffer from emotional poverty about themselves and bear the burden of a history that does not celebrate and recognize their possibilities! #NBacademy

@lmtclarke @NBPTS @WTUTeacher Hey Lisa! I always look forward to every opportunity to learn from National Board Certified Teachers, you guys pumps me up! I miss you too, I look forward to another get together when this pandemic is over, I miss you too! #NBAcademy #TeamNBCT #NBCTstrong

Thank you @NBPTS, I'm learning & enjoying from #NBAcademy! I'm excited to use these cool tools as an interactive virtual trainer & National Board Professional Learning Facilitator for @WTUTeacher. Our educator members will truly benefit from this session! #TeamNBCT #NBCTstrong

This #NBAcademy session is on fire! I’m learning so much from teachers across the country about what’s working in their virtual and/or blended classroom, I’m borrowing some of these strategies! I see you too @ellingkm! #@NBPTS #TeamNBCT #NBCTstrong

Educators are not just classroom teachers, we are community leaders too. We attend community groups and meetings & we let legislators and policymakers know that we are the experts and we know what's best for our students and schools. #nbacademy #NBCTstrong #TeamNBCT

Teachers can engage in advocacy for our profession by registering to vote in the elections, know your voting location, and help others to find theirs. #nbacademy #TeamNBCT #NBCTstrong

We’re continually inspired by Dr. Byron McClure, Anacostia’s Student Experience Coach. With his leadership, Ana will launch the Dream Team in ‘20-21, a community of champions who rally around every child to help them reach their greatest potential. Thank you, @SchoolPsychLife!

This year at our virtual #NBAcademy, speakers from all over the educational field will provide information on the #NBCTstrong process, blended learning, equity and more! We hope you join us on July 20, 21 and July 28, 29 nationalboardacademy.org
