We can’t control the home environment of our students, but we can surely control their classroom environment. When they’re under our care, they can feel safe, feel supported, and feel loved.

I hope Tennesseans are paying attention to this legislative session. While educators are in survival mode, lawmakers led by @GovBillLee are doing some very disturbing things. Public education is under attack. Be aware!

Notice it doesn't say HAD. It says HAVE. God has plans to prosper you, to give you hope and a future. Don’t dwell on the disappointments of the past or temporary setbacks because God has much more planned for your life! The best is yet to come. Merry Christmas!

Happy Monday! As we wrap up school until New Year and with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, remember to add to the calm not the chaos.

Leaders don’t always have the answers… but they can always demonstrate compassion. They probably can’t fix every problem… but they can always show support. They might not have the expertise… but they can always collaborate with those who do.

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but on routines, procedures and expectations. If you focus on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on routines, procedures, and expectations, you rarely have to defer back to the rules.

When the Board of Education recognized the 2020 and 2021 retirees at their June board meeting, among the celebrated were Jeff Kelley and Chuck West. Their retirements have produced a domino effect of administration changes. weakleyschools.com/cms/One.aspx?p…

I wish @GovBillLee would make every single lawmaker spend one day in a TENNESSEE classroom before they get to vote on ANY education bill. I also wish he would closely evaluate the credentials of those in current leadership at TNDOE. Is that asking too much, sir?

Public schools take every single child. No questions asked. No payment asked. This unconditional acceptance is at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the guiding light for our work. We pray for hundreds of thousands of godly teachers who accept & love these children. #txed

Technology is the great equalizer. We now have the tools that can make the world accessible to every single child. We now have the tools that can bridge the gaps between children & children and children & educators. #overcomingbarriers #equity #TETC19
