As we move through #SchoolLibraryMonth I want to shout out the incredible work happening in libraries locally @chccs in communities near & far. School librarians are invaluable and every child deserves to have access to a inclusive library that will nurture their curiosity.

I don’t know where you work, but my assistant principal is the best in the business and Northside is a better place because she’s there! Happy National Assistant Principals Week!

It's National Poetry Month. What are you reading for the first time or revisiting?
By highlighting Arab American culture and contributions we can create a more inclusive classroom. This article featured by @learnforjustice shares how we can do that. learningforjustice.org/magaz…

What a gift!!!
I am SO PROUD of our two 5th grade Navigators. They have worked so hard over this past year to develop this podcast. This year has been hard and yet, this JOY! I look forward to listening and sharing more moments of joy from our @NorthsideES community. #NorthsidePOD #MomentsOfJoy

April 2nd marks World Autism Awareness Day. In our work to make our spaces more inclusive, we must move beyond awareness to acceptance. Check out this thread from @autisticats for a list of resources and give them a follow. #AutismAcceptanceMonth
Today is the first day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth So in honor of April 1st, here’s a list of my favorite nonfiction & personal narrative books about autism! I’ve read all but two of these, and the last two are coming in the mail soon (we can read them together!). Enjoy :)

Especially when the reality is our young are experiencing a world that sees their skin and starts labeling. We need to arm our young minds to resist, reject and denounce the myths
"There is no such thing of being too young to talk about race" So many things to learn about racial diversity and how to adress the matter to children. Can't wait for the workshop with @DisruptivPeace @weare_org #TBSEdCon21

And it is indeed worthwhile work!!!
A2: We have made some progress but the work is far from done! Equity can't be a buzzword in our learning environment and in our schools. It has to be the work of us confronting racism and removing barriers. #CCSE3

Thanks @KatColeReads for always seeking opportunities for our young scholars.

When the Elders make time to STAND within the village, you know we are definitely going to be ALRIGHT. Thanks @NyahHamlett for making your presence known while allowing your light to shine❤️❤️❤️
Day 1 of Spring Break ❤️ I had the pleasure of going to Chase Park & Elliott Woods communities to talk w/parents about their questions & concerns. I also got to connect with some beautiful @chccs students who welcomed me w/open arms, treats, gifts, & lots of spring break smiles.
