If you hire me for what I know, 5 years from now I’m a liability. If you hire me for my ability to learn, I’m an asset. @EdReimagined

@MikeHynes5 My only issue is posting these pictures and pictures from the Civil Rights movement in black & white. It provides the facade that it was a long time ago, when we know it was not! Mr. Rogers was so bold while on a national stage.

@cupcakerowe This is our twins’ older brother! They are over 2 years old now, though!

@Dr_Chalfant Oh my goodness! They were just born when we worked together. #don’t blink.

Time flies! Opening day for #teeball! #4YearsOld

@CarlWmSeward Assume positive intent always!

This is it! When folks are not their best self, it is a reflection of pain they are experiencing, known or unknown. We all have to “do the work” to be our best always.

Happy for you @CarlWmSeward! Miss your energy and excitement!

This afternoon, I told my kids I was sad because it's raining in Traverse City, and I was hoping for snow. So, what did they do? They all went to their windows to show me the snow in Ann Arbor. #whyiteach

My favorite virtual teaching moment this year, just in time for #WinterBreak: @A2Thurston’s @PLTWorg teacher Mary Manthey literally baked cookies in her kitchen while on Zoom with her students to teach physical and chemical changes! Talk about glass half full!

In one of my very first interviews I was asked, “Who are you?” And I responded, “I’m just a kid from the hood looking to help kids from the hood.” And it’s still remains true today.

@AliB_iCoach @TchKimPossible Skimming now. I've always been student-centered & Responsive Classroom aligns the most with what I believe in. I wish you could see the looks I get when I ask die-hard PBIS folks if they've read about the racist implications and consequences of PBIS from other research. #757

@TchKimPossible This is the first time someone's asked to view my research and I don't even know how to share it! 💕 I hope this is the proper link??search.proquest.com/openview/32e10…

Educators, if you’re not having fun, neither are your students. There’s nothing wrong with having fun during the storm. -Dr. Adolph Brown @docspeaks #MEMSPA20 As a Norfolk, VA native myself, great to see the connections with Dr. Brown both attending ODU and William & Mary, too!

"Have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality!" @PaulLiabenow ending Day 1 of #MEMSPA20 with a bang (and a great reminder)!

@SSpickard Twinning with different colors! Love it.

What’s your #MEMSPA20 set up look like?

@Joe_Sanfelippo Past few months have REALLY highlighted what’s most important in our lives. Thanks, again, for such a meaningful and well-connected story. Much needed! Thanks, @Joe_Sanfelippo.

@Dr_Chalfant New day Charles!

"People at home give us latitude because we never give them the best of us when we get home because we are still at school, we never turn off." @Joe_Sanfelippo's story about being unresponsive to his kids after school hit TOO CLOSE to home! #BePresent #MEMSPA20

"I am responsible for my own morale! No one else is in charge of that, even though others TRY to control it." @casas_jimmy #MEMSPA20

Great video from @casas_jimmy! It's critical to find the talents in others and change our perspectives! youtube.com/watch?v=SGExml… #MEMSPA20

"Short term is burnout and long term is hope!" @casas_jimmy #MEMSPA20

@Joe_Sanfelippo's One-Minute Walk to Work is my most looked-forward-to videos to see every week! #Inspiring #Reminders #MEMSPA20

Messages of HOPE! Much needed. @Joe_Sanfelippo is as engaging here as he is in his weekly messages on Twitter! #MEMSPA20
