Since tomorrow is dress up your pet day, here is Princess looking festive. She wants seeds for Christmas. The good kind. #festivefriends

Woohoo! Thank you @WETeachers and @Walgreens for helping me buy resources for my students!

Girls tennis at Morton today! #UFC

@missparELLo I’m also starting first chapter Friday this week!

It’s a beautiful day to do some lesson planning outside! Below is a pic of some of the books I’m using to help me #SundayFunday

Given how the SAT is mostly just a money-maker and continues to create disparities in education, I'm not sure why I never knew about its racist origins before today. #TheMoreYouKnow Source confirming below tweet (always fact check what you see online): harvardcrcl.org/a-civil-rights…

We teach students before curriculum. We reach souls before standards. We teach character before content. In that order or its not really teaching at all #HipHopEd #GoodTroubleEdu

Just finished 2 of my 3 summer classes for my ESL endorsement today! And I got 4 teeth pulled out and it wasn't nearly as horrible as I thought it would be. A decent start to the week. #softfoodsthisweek #jello #mashedpotatoes

"Students first, pedagogy second, curriculum third." I've been thinking about this since @ernestmorrell said it during yesterday's @ncte Summer Sandbox meeting. Wise words as we plan for the upcoming school year.

WATCH: John Lewis tearfully accepting National Book Award. He couldn't get a library card in 1956 because the library was "for whites only".

Woo hoo! I can’t wait to start the @ncte 4 week workshop starting next week

Assistant professor Travis Bristol discusses the need for diverse teachers and training for effective anti-racist education via @NPR. npr.org/sections/live-…

I just cataloged all my classroom books using @Booksource and I love it! Gives me a breakdown on how diverse my library is, areas to improve, and students will can easily check out books once school starts. #organized

New books! 😍😍😍 #buildyourstack

Just finished reading Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You. Really made me reevaluate what I knew about US history 🤔 loaning it to another teacher tomorrow. Up next is the book on the right, recommended by one of my former high school English teachers. #reading #books

🗣🗣🗣 can’t wait to hear from other English educators from around the country! #ncte

Discomfort leads to growth. If you want to get better you have to be willing to be uncomfortable.

I'm joining in on Tuesday!

Please don’t tell me this is too political. People are being murdered. All curriculum—intentional or not—is political. Good teaching is responsive to what is happening in our students’ lives. Teaching Materials – Black Lives Matter At School blacklivesmatteratschool.com/teaching-mater…
