As educators, it our job to connect the new to the known! I am committed to stepping off the road and building cognitive development. Such a great session with Zaretta Hammond and my CCS colleagues! #ReadingLeagueConf2024 #WeAreCCS

Trunk or treat @LCMSCardinals. Education must extend beyond the classroom. Great to see our Chapel families!

When you begin year 23 and you run into a student from year two who is doing what you do, it feels the heart with joy! #CCSConvocation2022 #TogetherWeWillRise

A wonderful experience and a wealth of information.
Thank you @NCMiddle for the opportunity to present at this year's conference. @GOLDENTeach22 and @EnhanceLearnNC enjoyed the participants' discussions and reflections on how teacher perspectives shape student experiences.#AcornsToOakTrees #RelationshipCenteredClassrooms
“We are raising difference makers.” Enjoying the gems being dropped by Derrick Barnes and Gordon James. I have a prince and he is every good thing! #NCTE #IAmEveryGoodThing

Apple says these are the Skills needed in the workplace - are we teaching and assessing for these? Now you understand why the CCS Strategic Plan is written the way it is!!!

The president regularly lashes out at women of color with a particular venom. I think it’s because he instinctively knows they see right through him, and In their agency lies his demise.

I constantly tell my students to think out of the box, but educators must break free as well...
How are you scared to step out of the box when you made the box? Get out of your own way and be great damn it #LetsGo #FreedomFriday

I’m back...just the speaker needed to welcome me back to the district. New School, old district. Activist teaching mindset. #HipHopEd #ElevatorinEducation #ReadtoLead

Thank you @chrisemdin you were exactly the spark CCS needed!
If you have the privilege of having @chrisemdin ignite your spark for this activist work, run to see, hear, and receive from him! #HipHopEd #SSCumberland #SetSail
