Kudos to our @rifthp trainers & teachers for spending another Saturday expanding their knowledge of literacy & dyslexia. They are 1/2 way thru their 4 month training and eager to use & share this info! @AFTunion @RIDeptEd @RIHouseofReps @RISenate #learningneverstops #rifthppd

Teachers… 10 years from now, students will remember your kindness more than your pedagogy. Principals… 10 years from now, teachers will remember your kindness more than your strategic plan.

Countless times this past school year educators around the country thought, “I can’t keep doing this.” And yet they did, despite it all. Thank you to our @AFTunion members for joining us on day one of #TEACH21! Watch my address here: youtube.com/watch?v=rgNScHco…

Instead of trying to keep all the plates spinning at all times remember this: - Some plates don't need to be picked up in the first place - Some plates can be set down when they no longer serve you Just a reminder for who may need it this afternoon💛 #defineyouniversity

If we want kids to become better at writing, we need to get them writing. If we want kids to become better readers, we need them reading. If we want kids to think critically, we need to challenge them daily. If we want kids to be creative, we need to allow them to create!!
