#BlackEduSky #EduSky Day 2 of educator affirmation: Your effort is real and it shows in ways people overlook. It's real because you show up on days you're exhausted. It's real even on days no one acknowledges it. Keep showing up. Your current reality isn't permanent.

#BlackEduSky #EduSky Day 1 of educator affirmation: You are doing work that deserves recognition even when no one says it. Clap for yourself today.

Pick 3 educators you follow and encourage them daily until Dec 19 please. If you know anything about this time of year - the kids tired, we tired, the kids turn all the way up, we have to cope. Special blessings to those of us in middle school. Be blessed. #BlackEduSky #EduSky #iteachmath

Education. Makes me wonder about the folk in classrooms at every level who grow the very people every other field comes from - but it's no longer professional. 🤔

Soft skin. Bright smile. Unbothered energy. 🫶🏾✨💯

I’m soooo tired. TGIF. I have a fellowship meeting Monday so I need to find time for sub plans and cleaning up my classroom. We have multiple projects going in my classes and it definitely looks like a “working” classroom (aka a mess lol)

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

I don't have any energy to do anything non-work related after today's shift.

This season has been heavy. Leading every day while your own belief feels thin is a different kind of work. It is the version of leadership no one really prepares you for. The quiet erosion no one talks about. The part that shifts how you see yourself while you keep moving. #BlackEduSky #EduSky

I am also not a new professor. I try to continue to emphasize critical thinking skills and independent focus. Self care as a teacher is very important @blackedusky.bsky.social #academicsky #Blackacademicsky #teachingsky

As teachers prepare to go back into the classroom for another year to guide and instruction OUR kids, let's be reminded of the mental and financial toll that are upon them. As our government continues to fail US, please think of them often and hopefully with a tangible gift, if you're able. 💜✊🏾

@crystalmwatson.bsky.social can you share your favorites plz?

It's great to talk about supporting teachers until it's time to support teachers. We have 3 #BlackEduSky Teachers who need their lists cleared. 3 top notch educators. Please. Help. Please. Check their profile and feed. @techysewell.com @deestemteach.bsky.social @moniselseward.bsky.social

First national presentation and close to 80 math teachers chose my session 💜 Conversation and reflection on how we bring our math trauma into our own instruction that we then transfer to our kids. How we feel about ourselves as Ts and how we feel about math can either harm or elevate math love.

In addition to today...let's not also forget that yesterday the following took place: 🚨 The Dept. of Ed paused billions in grants for literacy, math, and teacher development while it “reviews” funding. Mind you, the funds were supposed to be released to states on today, July 1st.
