RT @TTUEducation: 📰 Dr. Kirksey's work is also quoted in @dallasnews and @houstonchron: ➡️ ➡️

This session, we have to think about state-level investments in both sides of the teacher pipeline. 1) High-quality preparation, and 2) Pay and support to help schools keep their most effective teachers. #txlege #txed

Watching this PhD student walk across the stage today was a career highlight. In 4 years, she has elevated our work & made my first years as faculty unforgettable. My right hand, my collaborator, my once-in-a-lifetime student—@LansfordsLines, here’s to your next chapter 🥹

The tradition continues ❤️ So thankful for my @TTUEducation students who make my birthday extra special every year 🤗
