Came to see my Dad today. I told him your son was named 2022 Nebraska Teacher of the Year. I really miss you Dad and it hurt me that you couldn't be there or I couldn't call you and talk to you. I love you!

Not even finished with Marking Period 1, and my students of Spanish 1 are doing AMAZING things in our class. Minor mistakes, but NO Google Translate, NO AI, just a piece of paper and a pencil.
My students are THE best!!!! šš½

Had a visitor come into my classroom last week to do their ESL practicum. They drove two and half hours to come see my classroom. I was honored and received this today. I love what I do!

Had a great day at the @MonCoLibrary next to amazing local authors. Better yet, I shared a table with the amazing writer, Mr. Tom Sabino, father of my former @FTHSPatriots student.

Last week I spoke to the community college community on āThe Power of Purpose.ā Each of us has the ability to make a difference through our purpose. But when we connect those purposes, something bigger happens.
Individually we make an impactātogether we transform lives.ā¦

In the later seasons of The Cosby Show, Theo mentored a student with dyslexia. By sharing his own struggle, he built trust and changed a life. Thatās the kind of teacher I strive to beāone who connects through vulnerability and lifts students up.

Less than 2% of educators in this country are Black men.
Honored to stand alongside these incredible, award winning educators from Massachusetts, Missouri, and Pennsylvaniaāmen who lead with passion, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to our students.
Representation matters.
