Social distancing is not about being scared or a germaphobe or a wimp or panicky. It is about NOT GETTING VULNERABLE PEOPLE KILLED. You are not tough or brave or savvy or cool by ignoring best practices. You are just making this thing worse.

Tonight in class, students shared that I was their first Native woman professor/teacher ever! That hit me hard, I am still feeling and processing through what that means for them, me, and us. Probably something I will face for years to come.

Some of the strongest advocates for #duallanguage do not speak the partner language, but they are all in with biliteracy instruction! Meet Mary Jo Powell, #principal at Brown Station ES in @MCPS - a model of life-long learning! #PrincipalsWhoTeach #LeadsrsWhoTeach @BrownStationES

"When I was teaching school, a man came to a parents’ meeting and complained about the extraordinary amount of testing we were doing.. 'You’re like a gardener who constantly pulls his plants up by the roots to see if they’re growing.' That is just what we were doing.."

I resonate with this book so much! Representation matters. I wish there were more books like this when I was growing up. Books are mirrors. #Clearthelist for diversity, inclusion and equity. bit.ly/KayWishlist
