Last spring, I accepted a position @CarySD26 as Assistant Principal of Deer Path Elementary School. I started in my role this month and I cannot express how grateful and excited I am! Thank you to my boss and the DP staff for the beautiful welcome flowers and gift card!
You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first.
If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I.
That's the hard, simple truth of it.
🎉So excited to defend my doctoral dissertation and pass! 😅 Thank you to my family who supported me with late-night sweet tea runs & prayers and thank you to God who gave me this opportunity! 🤟🏼I can’t wait for whatever is next! ❤️ #Doctor#EducationalLeadership

So what could/should they have done instead? What could/should other states with new legislation do instead? **Invest in your teachers. Hire literacy coaches who understand the shifts that need to be made. Support professional learning. Make curricular mods WITH teachers
Happy Thanksgiving! This is what 23, 21, 17, and 19 looks like. Yep, I had four under five at one point! 😳As much as I would love those baby years back again, I love being with them now. They are such fun people! I am grateful that I get to be their mom! 💕 #stillatthekidstable
What do you get when you cross literacy with music? Students helping each other, an epic rap off, conversations on how poetry is like music, and students creating their own songs using figurative language! So excited to hear the finished creations! @KCSD96#inspire96
My daughter’s 23 yr old friend died from a biking accident. The funeral was packed with people of all ages, races, cultures, and backgrounds. She was in a running club w/20 year olds, & biked w/67 year olds. Over & over I heard that she was a bright and shining light.
And as her brothers, friends, professor, mom, and coach shared their memories, it kept coming back to two things she did…love God & love others. It seems too simple, but the sacred work of loving can be hard and heartbreaking and beautiful and good. Today, I run for love. ❤️
