Pleased by the discussion my piece in today’s NYT (is.gd/MUKozy) is stirring up, but wincing at the misleading click-bait headline. I don’t want all students to get A’s! (I want them to be free of grades.) Gist of the essay is that excellence isn’t inherently scarce

A2. Start a staff book club to read more children's and YA books. Give attendees copies of the books for their classroom libraries or book clubs. #txlchat

Another thought, why not form a book club with parents and introduce them to more children’s literature?

SSPF's Educator of the Year! Ms. Deb Mitchell, CHS. Teachers change lives. Being the right person at the right time may be enough to change a person's life forever. Having a positive influence in the form of a teacher can make or break a human being. Ms. Mitchell changes lives!

Kathy English, 2019 SSPF Educator of the Year! Teachers are role models. They inspire and encourage us to be great, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. Kathy English is a role model and someone we admire and someone we aspire to be like.
