In CLR classrooms, we don’t jump straight into the task. We start with a cultural greeting. A simple moment of acknowledgment, connection, & respect that sets the tone for everything that follows.
Because when students feel seen, they’re more ready to engage, participate, & learn. #ClassroomCulture
Surprised my students with a Wayground review all about me!
Happy April Fools' to my fellow teachers surviving the day before spring break!

When things escalate, pause.
That’s not defiance. It’s nervous systems saying this is too damn much.
Regulate first. Correct second.

Teacher Spotlight: Bonnie Watson 💜
Fourth grade teacher in Austin, TX.
“Do we get to play today?” is what she hears at the door and that joy is everything. She also loves how voting sparks better conversations about what makes writing strong.

Teacher Spotlight: Stephanie Clinise 💜
“Can we play the writing game?”
When ninth graders ask that on their own, it’s a pretty special moment. ✨

Want to show them that you trust them? Don't lean on on the same handful of responders. Cold call.
Want to create resilient students?
Then refuse to accept "I don't know,"
Cold call.
Want to build belonging in your school?
Now accepting cold calls. 😆

Male teachers are down to 23%. That’s crazy.
Shout out to my mentors and the student teachers already schooling me.
Get a mentor. Be a mentor. Stop waiting for someone else to fix it.

School isn’t just grades; it’s belonging.
9/11 gave our students space to reflect on resilience & community. Legacy is built when lessons move beyond class & into their world.
Thanks @longislandherald for spotlighting this.

The team’s back.
The culture’s strong.
The key to growth is what you do when things are already good.
You push anyway.
A year of belonging that’s there if you want it. Let’s talk.

Here’s one that’s free and flips culture instantly: 👉 Anonymous surveys.
Trust kids by letting them give feedback

The reflections from this have been inspiring. We loop, so same kids as last year. But they hit the ground running as we asked them to do something a little advanced for middle
School kids.

Can't teach storytelling and not write your own stories. Seeing my favorite bad since eighth grade was well worth less sleep for the first day of teaching it. Oasis fans are different.
