Had a great time with educators in Hope. Looking forward to the upcoming Southwest Arkansas Education Coop Slam!

I made “Best Lesson” in Arkansas Times’ Best and Worst of 2019 feature. Although David Koon warns, “While there are a few bright spots of note, being immortalized here is, in our experience, nothing you’d ever want to include on your resume,” I’m glad to have made the list. I’m even more thankful of Arkansas Times’ extensive coverage of what’s happening in education in our district and state. #ATOY19 #AskMeWhy

As a general rule of thumb, I have a very reserved demeanor. I’m not one who gets overly excited about much — especially meetings — unless it’s a CSSC (College of Social Sciences & Communication) Dean’s Community Advisory Council Meeting! The focus of the college is, as Dr. Mirvel says, “community as a living act”. The Last Mile Scholarship, Coffee w/the Experts, The Good Life Workshop Series (which are focused on mental health and are sponsored by Bridgeway), and the Alumni Mentoring Program are a couple of the projects that make me proud to be a Trojan and a graduate of the UA Little Rock Rhetoric and Writing Department!! #ATOY19 #AskMeWhy #DreamBig #StepIn

While enroute to the SBE meeting I dropped off hand warmers and donuts to people at Romine, Parkview, Western Hills, Brady, Hall, Forest Heights and Central. I am soooo moved and inspired by their courage and love. #ATOY19 #AskMeWhy

Had the honor of welcoming and sharing a piece of myself with the participants at the Arkansas Literacy Conference. #ATOY19 #AskMeWhy

During Session 2 of the Teacher Leadership Institute we took a deep dive into action research centered around educating the whole person, personalized learning communities and renegotiating definitions of success. We also spent time discussing ways to reclaim and/or bring joy to learning, the importance of dancing without music (and the psychological damage/limitations of standardized assessments) and harnessing the power that already resides within our students. Buckminster Fuller said, “You never change things by fighting the existing realty. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” I cannot wait to see what my TLI teammates build! #ATOY19 #AskMeWhy #BelieveInTeachers Arkansas Leadership Academy
