Just want to throw this out there: for those of you who think the COVID-19 pandemic is causing inequities in education, you’re wrong, beloved. It’s making clear those that already existed. Sorry to burst your bubble 🤷🏾♂️

I have learned that children communicate through the behaviors they show. It’s our job to figure what they’re communicating, and help them find better ways to communicate what’s going on.
Y’all, today is my birthday. But I don’t feel like celebrating another year of life when so many of my brothers and sisters can’t. Their lives are being taken for NO reason. My heart and spirit are heavy today. 😔
Hey

friends! As we launch remote learning today, remember to extend grace, patience, flexibility, and love. Not only to your students and families, but also to yourself!

So excited that my first publication is officially out!

Glad I made it in time for question 2! A2- I have been meeting with each student and their family virtually each week. No device? No problem. Let’s be pen pals!

Just because people are poor, it does not mean they are pitiful. Many people who are living in poverty are rich with integrity, dignity, hard work ethics, and love. Many of them just haven’t been given the same opportunities as others.

! Grad school is a lot, filled with pressure and high expectations, but taking care of yourself is more important than any assignment/project. Don't be afraid to seek support when you need it. We’ve got this!! ✊🏾
1/2 While schools across the country are planning for reopening, I hope they’re also planning on how they will improve their practices around diversity, equity, and parent/family engagement.
Last week, we decided to take photos for the first time since our wedding 5 years ago. We thought the next time we did this would be for a baby announcement. Although it isn’t, we are committed to intentionally finding joy in the life we have now while we wait for our Angel.
If we want to achieve learning recovery, we must ACCELERATE rather than REMEDIATE! Remediation will only further widen gaps that existed before and worsened because of
