Turns out if you have not ironed a pair of pants since March 13th that is a motor skill that can be lessened in that amount of time!!! #sendhelp

How to take the stress out of the CRAZY school year to come: 🔸Watch the sunrise at least one day during the week 🔸Support that poor soul that is beginning their teaching career this year 🔸Support that veteran teacher struggling with online instruction 🔸TAKE TIME FOR YOU!

This is YOUR year to sharpen those classroom discussion skills. When school starts back it will be over 5 months since students have had any large group communication. Take advantage of that!!! #edchat #learning #edreform

I’m in the search for good books for school administration. I am beginning a post-master’s program in the fall and I am wanting to gain all the knowledge I can before, during, and after the program. Any book suggestions? @DrBradJohnson #principals #ednc #edchat #edutwitter

I am excited to continue my educational journey and will be doing so with App State in the fall!!!

And Dreams before Data!!! I get that we are in a data driven world, but how many students’ dreams are crushed because of the pursuit of data?
