I need your help: I am starting the process of looking into getting a hearing ear dog. I would love any advice about organizations to use or other tidbits. #Deaf #DeafEd #SCforEd #HardofHearing #ServiceDogs #NAD #HearingEarDog #DeafEducation #Deaflife

In a 2017 study, students silenced cell phones, stashed them away, ignored them outright. Silently, the phones fought back. I found it fascinating. My new piece for @Edutopia.

I’m the proud husband of a teacher and know first-hand the impact of their work. Teachers around the country and in South Carolina deserve to earn a living wage and have smaller class sizes so that America can continue to out-educate and lead the world. #AllOutMay1

The idea of a 3D shape being laid flat to find surface area is a difficult concept to grasp... Until now! Loved these pull-up shapes we made today for surface area and volume! #svusdshines

I failed to mention the morality clause that is written into teacher contracts that is expected to extend into every aspect of your life. #TeachSC

A6: My favorite was classroom meetings. When my students and I were not on the same page, it was time to meet at the carpet and have a chat. How can we meet in the middle?? #TeachSC

A6 we need to give them the opportunity. They can’t advocate for themselves if they never have a chance to practice. It is a skill just like any other. #TeachSC

A2 I want to see special education students held to the same expectations of being the best person they can be by all individuals in the school not just the special education staff #TeachSC
