The decades may change. The methods may change. But the ideology continues to demand our attention, our courage, and our commitment to justice.

In the later seasons of The Cosby Show, Theo mentored a student with dyslexia. By sharing his own struggle, he built trust and changed a life. That’s the kind of teacher I strive to be—one who connects through vulnerability and lifts students up.

For Black History Month, I’m honoring Black educators who have shaped their communities and inspired my journey as a teacher. Today, I honor the memory of Mrs. Peek, my high school Spanish teacher. She did more than teach a language—she opened doors to appreciate new cultures.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I’m honoring Black educators who shaped their communities and inspired my journey as a teacher. Today, I remember Mrs. Reeder, Oberlin’s choir teacher. Her passion for the arts left a lasting legacy, shaping generations through the power of songs.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I’m honoring Black educators who have shaped their communities and inspired my journey as a teacher. Today, I pay respect to Ms. Thomas, retired orchestra teacher who instilled a love for music in her students. Her legacy continues to inspire!

Today, I had the honor of speaking about the Tulsa Massacre at a church for #BlackHistoryMonth. Though we came from different backgrounds, we found common ground in our shared humanity. Grateful for the power of learning and understanding.

Teachers, I highly recommend having your students evaluate your teaching and class after each semester. Yes, it may be uncomfortable. While administrators evaluate us 2-3 times a year, our students are with us 90 days a semester—they have valuable insights to share.

This week, as we celebrate Kwanzaa, let’s reflect on the power of education & the vital role Black male educators play for all students. Thank you, Rodney, for sharing the inspiring legacy of Black men NTOY. Representation matters!

My Race, Gender, and Oppression class is diving into economic inequality in America. Today’s opening questions sparked some great discussion. Thoughts?

A few years ago, I thanked some parents who shaped my teaching journey. It reminded me that education is a shared effort—teachers, students, parents, and communities all play a role in shaping success. Grateful for every relationship that makes a difference!

Two years ago, we had the incredible honor of being invited to President Biden’s first State Dinner. Moments like these remind me why teachers are the pulse of our democracy and the heartbeat of our nation. @joebiden46th.bsky.social @joebidenbsky.bsky.social

Such a great memory This moment was a celebration of my students’ narratives and the power of their voices. Their stories inspire change, challenge perspectives, and remind me why this work matters. Grateful for the opportunity to amplify their voices. vimeo.com/773967380?sh...

As educators, we must remain vigilant in upholding truthfulness, equity, and humanization. Our role is not just to teach but to create spaces where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to succeed.
