While most @ClarkCountySch staff members head home at the end of the day, we have 25 staff members who provide 10 hours of afterschool enrichment and tutoring a week for 250 #TateTigers with #21stCLCC funding! ROAR On!

Just like we have blocks of small group learning for our #TateTigers, we provide small group PD for our @ClarkCountySch teachers and support staff! More engagement, differentiation, and an opportunity to ask questions. ROAR ON!

Using resources from @openupresources, my #5thGrade students are learning how to evaluate personal narratives and identify the features of strong writing. @KnowledgeMatrs @SoRclassroom

To Every Teacher About to Begin Again… There’s something sacred about this time of year. The world doesn’t pause for it—but we do. We tidy up rooms, rework bulletin boards, restock our desk drawers with things no one else even notices… all for the sake of what’s coming. And what’s coming isn’t just students—it’s opportunity. It’s impact. It’s legacy. And whether you feel ready or not, you’re about to become part of someone’s story again. It might not be obvious at first. The kid who won’t look up. The one who sighs every time you speak. The one who walks in carrying a world you’ll never fully understand. But here’s the truth: your consistency will matter more than your content. Your tone will matter more than your title. And your presence will matter more than your perfection ever could. Every year, I remind teachers of this: You are not the system. You are the exception to it. You’re the one who turns test-takers into risk-takers. Who sees the child before the checklist. Who shows up—even when it feels like no one notices you do. And if this year feels heavy, don’t forget—some kids are walking through your doors needing one adult to believe in them. Just one. Not because you have all the answers, but because you looked them in the eye and said, “I see something in you.” And meant it. That’s the kind of teaching that outlasts standards. The kind that can’t be measured… but will never be forgotten. So as you step into a new year, remember this: You don’t need to be perfect. Just present. You don’t need a magic lesson. Just a moment that makes a kid feel seen. You don’t need to save the world. Just reach the one in front of you. Because that’s how the world changes anyway. Thank you—for everything you give to children who aren’t even your own. The world doesn’t thank you nearly enough. But I see you. And I’m grateful. Let’s go make it count. —Brad
