Research shows teachers make about 1,500 decisions a day and leads to what's called "decision fatigue." The need for teachers to be "on" 24/7 is mentally and physically exhausting. boredteachers.com/classroom-mana…

Advocating for our students of color is not a partisan play; it’s a moral imperative. It’s our job.

New location, same level of excitement! Congratulations to the @Burges_Mustangs Class of 2020 who on Friday received their diplomas during a ceremony at Bowie’s Baty-Simang Stadium. We’re proud of the new Mustang Alumni! ➡️ bit.ly/3djrw5 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓 #IamEPISD #EPISDProud

Educators the last two days during student pickups so many cars stopped asking if we were giving away free food. So many families in need. We are getting full paychecks with full benefits! People are respecting our profession now more than ever! So why are you complaining?

What type of School do you want for your Kids? #edchat #edtech

A 12-year old girl was having difficulty with her math homework during the lockdown. So she emailed her teacher for help. He came over, brought his whiteboard, and taught her through the window. 💪👏

Out of curiosity, if teachers were paid $3000 for every student in their room, how many would you choose to teach?

I guess I really did bring this snow to El Paso with from the Frozen Tundra in Green Bay 😂❄️🙌🏾

You can’t control the quality of weekend they just had... but you can have a huge impact on their Monday morning. If you work in a school, you will make a difference tomorrow.
