Kids can’t be what they can’t see. That’s why the Biden-Harris administration is investing in a diverse teacher pipeline that looks like our great country.

We were just talking about this in class this week! #EDLR5402
Veteran teachers are the backbone of education. They’ve endured all the reasons some teachers leave the field. They also survived the latest programs, initiatives, & testing. They have much wisdom, experience & expertise if leaders are willing to listen. Value & appreciate them!

First year (hold me to this): shadow a student in each grade / shadow a teacher in each grade / sit in the cafeteria for lunch / have a custodian tour me around to learn what all of my new keys unlock! Grear advice, @BernsteinCT #EDLR5402

Working on my Philosophy for Professional Learning has shown me how much I’ve grown this summer with our UCAPP courses—we’re always a work in progress! It is important to me to separate Individual, Team, and Faculty Learning. #EDLR5402

The one thing that has truly stuck about the first semester of UCAPP is that relationship building matters more than anything else! #EDLR5402
Here's to 2024-25 School Year and Wishing you all the best year yet! Relationships are key, and make sure to give grace, patience and love to others, but also make sure to give plenty to yourself! ❤️

This is an important shift we’re all working on making—adult learning theory will get easier, right? 🙃 #EDLR5402
It is important for us to know how our students learn! Now I'm starting to think about my colleagues and how they learn best🤔#EDLR5402

Size of the school district can allow for internal PDL that provides mentorship—the disparity in the size of CT school districts helps some and hinders others on the mentorship front. #EDLR5402

How fun would internationalizing PDL be? Cool to think about while reading the Lazenby article (2020)…for now I’ll take away the importance of networking for aspiring leaders! #EDLR5402
