Mrs. DiTarando

Love when I’m walking down the hall and I see teachers starting their day with an SEL Lesson. Way to go Ms. Nolan! #sel #mindfulmonday

Professor Richard Light and @AllisonJegla Ed.M. '20 argue that it is vital for faculty to test new approaches when teaching students, whether successful or not. Read more of their insights from @insidehighered. insidehighered.com/advice/2022/05…

@KimJones0425 @mckitrick These pics have been my favorite part of this week! You two are too cute! ❤️

Day #4 @McKitrick TAW was another fun and delicious day! Thanks McKitrick Elementary PTA! We love you! ❤️❤️

@AnnTestaSecca @McKitrickElem @cline_allison @AddisonGDavis @HillsboroughSch @mckitrickpta Love this so much!!!

And it's back! The Senior Walk! Steinbrenner Seniors came back for a trip down elementary lane today! So many excited students and teachers!🧑‍🎓👩🏼‍🎓👨🏾‍🎓

One of my all time favorite @McKitrickElem traditions! It never fails to fill my heart with pride and joy! 💙💛 @HCPS_SEL @HillsboroughSch

Student and Staff, please wear RED tomorrow, April 26th. April is World Autism Month! #RedInstead

Schools spend so much time talking about tier 2 & tier 3 interventions. The things we do for some kids, sometimes. We can nullify the need for so many of these conversations if we’d just dial in to great tier 1 instruction. What are we doing for all kids, all the time? #edchat

Tonight I was honored to receive the @HASLMS Elementary Media Specialist of the Year Award! ❤️ Thank you @mrsditarando @BasiaMouse @cline_allison and @1Sissel for your support!

Meet Hillsborough County’s newest Media Specialist of the Year! Love that I get to work with this amazing woman and call her my friend! ❤️

@mckitrickmedia You’re very welcome! It’s the least I could do given how much you do for our McKitrick family.

Thank you @mrsditarando for the beautiful tulips and sweet gift! #NationalLibrarianDay

@Coach_Rudy @erinhoganson @RyeCounselor @DuncanEng @LALteaching2020 @HCPS_SEL @MrFranklin400 Perfect way to start a Monday! Thanks @Coach_Rudy! Cant wait to share this with the teachers @McKitrickElem

Box of signed books getting packed up individually to send out to the #exSELentteaching winners on #SELday . Will be in the mail tomorrow! 😀 Congratulations to: (and more) @erinhoganson @RyeCounselor @DuncanEng @LALteaching2020 @HCPS_SEL @MrFranklin400 @mrsditarando

@LMSK5 @MrFranklin400 @McKitrickElem @BrowardElem @HCPS_SEL Awww Thanks! You will forever hold a special place in my heart as being the person who taught my own kids that reading could be so much more than AR tests and reading logs. They may not be avid readers now as adults, but they don’t hate reading and that’s because of you

It was really great to meet you in person @mrsditarando during our training yesterday! Thank you for the amazing conversation and dynamic planning that will impact our @McKitrickElem & @BrowardElem students! #SEL @HCPS_SEL

@JuliaSCohen @7Mindsets @HillsboroughSch @HCPSStudentSvcs @HCPSEmployeeBen @AddisonGDavis @terryconnorHCPS @ShayliaMcRae @Chels7Mindsets @HCPSCommunity @debbieecook1 @MrFranklin400 @HeritageBobcats Such a great event! Thank you for putting it all together #SELHCPS

Today was PHENOMENAL! I always say, “I will not CRY when I hear the stories, when I participate in the activities, when I feel the honesty in the space created…. I FAIL EVERY TIME! #SELChampions #SELPD #SELHCPS @7Mindsets @HillsboroughSch @HCPSStudentSvcs @HCPSEmployeeBen

@Coach_Rudy @erinhoganson @RyeCounselor @DuncanEng @LALteaching2020 @HCPS_SEL @MrFranklin400 Can’t wait! Thank you

Just watch this video. Just watch.

Girls are struggling. They suffer low self-esteem, feel things are out of control, worry about their body image or are concerned about passing exams. Often they tell @RachelKellyNet that they haven’t been able to talk about any of these issues openly. newstatesman.com/politics/healt…

@Coach_Rudy @MrFranklin400 Woohoo! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to read the book and then use it for one of our staff SEL book studies! #SELday @McKitrickElem @HCPS_SEL

@MrFranklin400 @mrsditarando You both won! Congratulations Message me your address and t-shirt size and I will get your book and shirt in the mail! Thanks for helping raise awareness in #SELday

Sending this SHOUT-OUT to @mrsditarando for the #SEL work you are doing at your site! I LOVE your themes this week and I think it is truly amazing that you are connecting all stakeholders! SEL PROUD!

Look who dropped by to say hello!! Loved getting to spend time with these two amazing ladies and talking all things SEL! #SELday
