Looove that the neuroscientist is elevating and naming #OER at #LearnFwd22 - yes! She said “Throw out the textbook! It’s outdated by the time you get it.” Speaking my @OERCommons language 💕

How do educators get inspired, refreshed and nourished in their journey? It’s all about Professional Learning! I’m glad to be at the @LearningForward session and hope to see policymakers like @JeffJacksonNC support #titleiia funds to support teacher learning.

This. This. This. It’s time for NC to be a leader. I fully support this. @JeffJacksonNC @HuntforNCSenate I hope you can support this also.
We cannot normalize the mass murder of children.
Educators - hear this!! From @jamila_lyiscott “How do you want your classroom to be remembered during the 2020, 2021 history period?” The invitation for vision-driven justice is to name how you want your classroom to be remembered.

So grateful to hear from the first NCABR curriculum speaker @DamonTweedyMD and talk about health disparities based on race. His talk about his profession’s role in addressing the inequities is so empowering for teachers to hear.

First Lady Jill Biden put a massive Valentine's display on the North Lawn. "I just wanted some joy. With the pandemic, just everybody's feeling a little down. So, it's just a little joy. A little hope. That's all."

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.
