SPED teachers must be at the PLC table—our inclusion students are OUR students, not 'yours' or 'mine.' True inclusion means meaningful learning, not just seat time. Let’s ensure they get the same high-quality instruction as their gen ed peers. #AllMeansAll #edsi6321

Students in residential & juvenile facilities need highly qualified, trauma-informed teachers—not just reassigned or retire/rehire staff. Investing in skilled educators ensures they get the academic, emotional & social support needed for success. #EquityInEducation #edsi6321

A game-changer for retention is giving teachers a REAL voice in decision-making—especially when it comes to curriculum, strategies, & PD. When teachers feel heard & trusted instead of just being told what to do, morale improves, resistance decreases, and they’re more likely to stay. #edsi6321

Build relationships first—with your students, their families, and your colleagues. Give yourself grace, focus on progress over perfection, and remember: the best classroom management plan is an engaging lesson! 🚀✨ #edsi6321

Ask non-traditional questions that are hard to fake responses in the moment. We have created a culture of celebration on campus. I enjoy asking, "How do you feel about tutus and glitter?" While not everyone loves these things, their reaction helps me see how they feel about fun & learning. #edsi6321

One of the biggest changes I have made since moving into administration is networking when I attend trainings and conferences. I used to go, take my notes, and leave with the info gleaned there. Now, I have learned the power of collaborating with other leaders. #edsi6321
