Girls On The Run is an amazing program. I was able to witness amazing teachers and counselors create bonds and mentor the young girls in the GOTR group at Yez Prep West. Excited to see that my new district Spring Branch is also a contributor! @MsMathre @PRGonzales80 @CVkalvarez

A must read. Though it does not relate to education directly, the lesson of forgiveness does apply. We ought to remember that school is a place to learn, students should always get a 2nd chance to do better, because the world they go into might not give that 2nd chance. @MsMathre

I recently rewatched both sister acts and as a teacher I really appreciate all the moves that sister Mary Clarence uses in her class like giving them goals, having them repeat mantras to build self worth, listening to them, having high standards & never giving up. #sisteract

This article really helps the reader to reconcider how schools just add antiracists PDs without teaching classroom mgmt and how to reevaluate the need for disciplinary action and the long term consequences. businessinsider.com/black-brown-st…

I've been reflecting on how some of my students thrived while others struggled this year. They made it through a tough year and are stronger for it. No matter the results, I'm proud of them. "The student's victory is the teacher's glory" edsource.org/2021/teachers-…

@MsMathre @MerlySerrano2 @LauraChaffin10 This is really interesting indeed. I do feel like admin will say this while piling more work on teachers. I can understand where this reaction comes from. Sorta like how the retail and food industry always says "we're family" lol.

What an interesting perspective! I never thought about how this could be perceived as a leader! @MerlySerrano2 @LauraChaffin10 what do you guys think?

Reading "The Abacus and The Cross" by Nancy Marie Brown. This truely captures how sometimes student can miss the bigger picture of history, stepping into the minds of the past #History #teacher #MedievalMonday

Going to be receiving my Prinicipal as Instructional Leader exam results tonight at 10pm. Send me good vibes and prayers @PRGonzales80 @MsMathre @CVkalvarez

I won "most patience teacher" superlative this year on the 10th grade team. This book helped to rethink my time and priorities in the moment. #patience #teacher #Growth #Mindset

Looks interesting! We should check this out. @PRGonzales80 @CVkalvarez

@PRGonzales80 This looks so cool! I'm down

2 days of grueling T-TESS training: it's safe to say that I'm brain dead & in need of more practice w/ scripting. But it's remarkable to see the dedication of my peers & the drive to be objective, analytical, & centered around teacher professional growth @MsMathre @CVkalvarez
