Change takes time and sometimes gets worse before it gets better. We need to keep teachers and students - not products - at the forefront of policy decisions. #EduSkyPrimary #EduSky www.edweek.org/leadership/w...

Just a bit over a month until World Read Aloud Day! The day to celebrate the power and purpose of the read aloud for connection, joy, and learning. 📚 🤗

Many teachers have made it to winter break in the northern hemisphere and summer break in the southern hemisphere. Cheers to your work and impact. Rest and rejuvenate!

One of my favorite parts about living in Mexico. The bright beautiful poinsettia trees that bloom through November and December.

Closing out Friday working on a course design. My favorite reflection - Start, Stop, Continue. What's one thing you need to START doing, STOP doing, and CONTINUE doing in your practice? #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary

My dream for every school: great teachers, a solid scope and sequence, and a carefully curated library

How do you define explicit instruction? Mine is to answer three questions: What am I teaching students? How am I showing them? Why does it matter? #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary

What programs are folks seeing real true success and progress when implemented? No box beats a great teacher, but what boxes or programs are you trusting these days? #scienceofreading #eduskyprimary

Building the world of PALS Town has been one of my favorite things I've ever done as an educator. And this is just the beginning!
