Almost 3/4 of survey participants cited multiple, competing demands placed on teachers as a factor contributing to challenging working conditions; nearly 2/3 cited lack of respect for teacher professionalism. 2/

How do we transform educational systems in ways that honor & acknowledge the humanity of students, families, communities, and educators? How do we work in coalition to support the greater development & sustainability of our world, our work, and education as a field? 7/

My partner tested negative. We are officially out of isolation as a family (still masking, but back outside). I am so grateful. 💜

Okay, Friends, going to try another blog post tweet to see if it is the algorithm. If you see this, even if you don't want to read my Fathers Day post, can you just let me know? Thanks. Thread ahead 1/

Cell phone set up 📱, welcome sign made, snacks packed in case she's hungry when she clears customs. Just 7 more hours until my sister's plane lands 🛬...

People have all these ideas about what education SHOULD BE but rarely talk to teachers about what they're already doing or what challenges they face." This is the overwhelming message from my data. We have to do better for our teachers & students.

Well, it’s now been a full week since I responded to @gofundme ’s review request. I still do not have access to the funds for my sister. She arrives Sunday. I honestly don’t know what else to do.

Today was our last department. The @CSULBCED Teacher Education Department honored me with this plaque. It’s been such an incredible (and exhausting) year of service but I am grateful to be seen by faculty that is family. 😭😭😭

Holding space for all of us for whom #MothersDay is a challenge. While I’m blessed in so many ways, this day always tests my humanity to its limits, of joy and sorrow. This morning I woke up sobbing at 1am & in a bit I will celebrate my 6yo birthday Princess. It’s a lot. Hugs.

Oh Twitter family, this mama is about to unleash some fury about the importance of representation on an unsuspecting English teacher because this is not going to happen today.

I’m too tired to say much except that every time a school shooting happens, I feel a depth of sadness and fury that we know what to do & then don’t choose children and teachers’ lives. I’m no longer surprised just always deeply sad.
