How do we expect to strengthen students’ oral language when we only focus on the LISTENING and limit the SPEAKING (discussion, convos, etc.) in our classrooms? #therighttools

Grateful for the first day of school jitters. I pray that feeling never goes away. It reminds me of the need to be responsive to the new perspectives and experiences of my students each year. #highered #professorlife

Relationships have a greater impact than just passing a class. Since graduation my student has made it a point to include me on her post grad journey. She is teaching abroad and created a group chat to keep me updated on how she applies her learning 😭 So proud of her!
