Such an inspiring episode! 🥹 Made me feel so proud to be a teacher and have renewed faith in the importance of the work we do.

bit.ly/BAP126 <--- NEW Podcast & Video Teach #Newcomers or #SLIFE? Students on the migrant circuit? This episode comes with free PD reflection themes. Or just listen to the podcast for much-needed inspiration. I'm so grateful to Dr. Francisco Jiménez for his life-long dedication to teachers.

If students don't come to school, they can't learn. If students are afraid to come to school, they can't learn. If students come to school but don't feel safe there, they can't learn. If students come to school but aren't welcome to be themselves there, they can't learn.

This is what made me feel old today. First graders were using “best friends of 10” (addends that make 10) & I was trying to emphasize they always go together. Me: you know, like a superhero and their sidekick, like Batman and Robin. First grader: who’s Robin? 😂🫠

I am giving this app a try (and so far I like what I see) but I’m still posting most of my content (pics and lesson ideas) on instagram. Follow me over there at dr.katietoppel. It’s a private account, but all teachers welcome!
