CHS Stats Carnival was awesome! The stats students made these fun games from recycled materials. Thanks for inviting me to come play! @KellerCentralHS @KellerISD

Algebra 1 students @VistaRidgeMS are tracking their own learning using their version of the @lead4ward student tracking document! Way to go! Such a powerful strategy 🎉👏

These rockstar teachers @HillwoodMS are on a mission to create thinking classrooms that inspire curiosity and critical thinking with their students! Way to go! 💡

Check this out! Timber Creek High School's Stephanie White was the Teacher of the Week in the Fort Worth Report in March, but we're just now hearing about it. Congratulations on a well deserved honor! @TimberCreek_HS @KellerISD #CelebrateKISD fortworthreport.org/2023/03/23/tea…

@GregAbbott_TX Governor, we’ll keep putting our trust in God, but we’re praying you call a special session to raise the public education basic allotment. The state has the money and the 5.4 million students need an adequately funded education system. Please help.

Think about this next time @GovAbbott offers any praise for Texas public school teachers... Consider your most stressful day/week as a public school educator, then reflect on the following: (1) Texas public school employees are tired, burned out, underappreciated, and many work in underresourced schools. (2) Texas teachers busted their rears and sacrificed their own families by helping our students and communities endure a global pandemic. THEN... (3) Texas teachers were used as fodder as the Governor told voters they were "woke" and that they teach kids to "hate America." AND... (4) Texas ranks in the bottom 10 states in per-student funding. (5) Texas' $32.7 billion surplus is the size of the budget of South Carolina. FINALLY... (6) Policymakers could not find it within themselves to provide teachers with any raise, nor could they find it within themselves to increase school funding...due to their insistence on tying funding to vouchers. These people MUST be held accountable. The 2023/24 school year should not start until we: (a) increase teacher pay; and (b) increase school funding. PERIOD. #txlege

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Keller ISD Instructional Coaches! These amazing educators have gone above and beyond to help their fellow teachers grow professionally, achieve their objectives, and improve student learning. #CelebrateKISD

Ever wonder what a #BuildingThinkingClassroom looks like in action?? Check out this glimpse into @RachelBoaz class @VistaRidgeMS today! These students figured out how to use the quadratic formula with NO DIRECT INSTRUCTION!! Way to go!! 🎉👏#EveryPanther

@AshleyR_KISD @Fossil_Hill Way to go FHMS! It’s so important for students to be able to express their learning in their own words!

After working as a group on their #vnps the group returns to their math notebook to make notes to their future forgetful self and reflect on learning. Students say they prefer creating their own notes in their own words! Way to take charge of your own learning! @Fossil_Hill

The taxes you pay in the name of an ISD aren’t necessarily going to the ISD. Millions are carved out and used for other things.
