Do you know someone starting their college journey who could use support to establish new routines/be their best self?
I offer:
🌟 ongoing, one-on-one coaching support over the course of the year, or
🌟 intake sessions that result in a plan they could use to find support services on campus

Figuring most school years have ~170-180 days of school, I’ve been at this for somewhere around 4,000 instructional days.
Taking out the four days I’m planning to take off between now and May 30, I have 8 more days of instruction and two of exams left in my classroom teaching career.
Bittersweet!

I remember the 1988 election between George HW Bush and Michael Dukakis being the first one I paid attention to. I had just turned 12. Fast forward to four years later and I was a (young!) senior in high school, living in a pretty liberal small town in Southern California.

@kellybarnhill.bsky.social I just finished reading _When Women Were Dragons_! The last few chapters are pure poetry. Brava! Now I need to convince my 15 year old daughter to get off her phone and read it, too!

Love seeing this at a church here in Texas where I live! Communities of faith SHOULD be more welcoming and accepting. You know, like Jesus.
Wishing you all peace, grace, and love on this sacred day.

School is out in less than 7 weeks! Do you know a teen or preteen who could use some support to finish the year strong, and continued support over the summer?
I have been a middle/high school teacher for over 20 years. I also have two of my own kids, finishing up 5th and 9th grade. (See comments)

**Why Empathy is Key to Improving Communication Skills in Language Learners**
Language learning is more than just vocabulary and grammar—it’s about connection. When learners develop **empathy**, they strengthen their ability to communicate effectively and confidently. Here’s why:

Both of my parents have a green thumb. I’ve never really tried to take care of plants. But lately I’ve taken an interest in it. I love walking into my home office and seeing all of my green friends.
I bought this sweet spring cactus on a whim at Walgreens. Its happy red flowers make me smile. (1/2)

On a whim, I took my son to watch a track meet yesterday where students from my school were competing at the stadium next to my son’s school. When a parent in the stands asked me “Who is your student?” I proudly replied,
”All of them!” I’m going to miss that when I leave the classroom.

Back in 2019, I had been teaching Spanish at the same school for about nine years, and they trusted/asked me to teach what’s called an Exploratory Languages class… (continued in the comments!)

New analogy for what is currently happening in DC: it’s as if a football coach who never was a classroom teacher was somehow hired to be the principal.And he hired all of his assistant coaches who have also never been classroom teachers to staff the school. Spoiler alert: It’s not going to end well.

I’m living the dream! Today I was able to spend time with part of my SoCal family and also work online with a client. I love the flexibility of being a Learning Success Coach!
If I’ve done one thing right in this life, it has been taking advantage of opportunities to grow when they come my way.
