*less teacher talk
*more student talk
*more application of strategies
*more feedback

When non-education majors enroll in my literacy course as an elective, I feel compelled to secretly recruit them 😂 and show them the positive and hopeful side of students falling in love with learning. #therighttools #HBCUprofessor

Writing from your experiences means that the lessons learned will never be outdated. Just got a message notifying me that ALL conference participants will receive a copy of my book, The Right Tools, in preparation for a virtual Q&A I’ll be doing! Let’s go!

Reflecting on the importance of goal setting as an adult. Today, I was able to see an opportunity and decide if it connected with my 2025 goals. Think of how much more valuable this process is when we invite our students to do the same.

In order for us to create safe and trusting spaces with students we have to admit when we made a mistake AND apologize. Trust me they are watching. #TheRightTools

I am revamping my syllabus completely! It’s simply the acknowledgment that education is ever evolving. It’s important to recognize that and pivot when needed to ensure students remain at the center. #TheRightTools

Why did Zoom shut down nationally for about 2 hours, fifteen minutes before my virtual PD😩 with educators across the state? It’s funny how easily I defaulted to “teacher adjust, modify, and accept” mode in 60 seconds 🤣. We switched to Teams. #TheRightTools
