Excited to spend some more time with the #NTOY23 cohort at the Space Academy for Educators at the US Space & Rocket Center! Ever Onward and Upward!
It’s time we focus on a comprehensive education, one that not only includes STEM but also music and the arts.
It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek and the 2023 State Teachers of the Year are sharing what brings them joy in the classroom. More in this video youtu.be/tzm6rxbmhFw. #NTOY23
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all the educators making a difference for students every where! You change the world, one student at a time, and you deserve the world in return! Thank you!
What an incredible week! The @CCSSO did a fantastic job recognizing the educators in #ntoy23 cohort - I couldn’t help but beam with pride. Every educator deserves to feel supported and celebrated! Thankful for an amazing week of opportunities! #washingtonweek
Thanks to @SmithsonianEdu for a great opportunity to see their museums, learn from their curators, and collaborate on how to help music teachers utilize their archives and resources to enhance education in the classroom! Also thankful for this generous gift!
Awe-inspired by the day at the White House. Town hall with the @FLOTUS, @SecCardona and the #ntoy23 cohort. Then a beautiful ceremony in the Rose Garden, with messages from the @POTUS and NTOY @RebeckaMozdeh. Truly an honor of a lifetime!
Looking forward to a magical week in DC representing Georgia educators! #ntoy23 #gaTOTY #education

I taught at @NewnanHigh my first year teaching and was lucky enough to witness the brilliance of Ms. Landreth. So glad I got to see her yesterday as she was recognized at the Capitol! 59 years in the classroom - an accomplishment worthy of praise! #legacy #legend #education
Last week we hosted the @CCSSO 2023 National Teachers of the Year for a day of celebration & professional development. We discussed passions, #EdTech trends, and even hosted a @GoogleDoodles drawing workshop 🎨#NTOY23
Superintendent Woods met with his Teacher Advisory Council (TAC). The group comprises teachers from the state, representing all grade bands and RESA regions. Thank you, TAC members! Learn more about TAC: gadoe.org/Pages/Teacher-….
Teachers advocating for the needs of our students is an important job - thanks to @Page for making this day happen! Everyday, we make decisions that impact the future and this is so true in education! #education #policy #GeorgiaED
What a week with the #NTOY23 cohort! Being in California with inspiring teachers from around the nation has been life-changing. Thanks for a great week of learning, laughing, and loving education! See you all soon!
Enjoyed time with the Teacher Advisory Council to talk with legislators and sit in on a legislative session today! Great discussions about educational policy, and great info was shared @georgiadeptofed #GeorgiaED
It was an honor to serve as the keynote speaker for the @GMEAorg in-service conference! Also had the chance to host several sessions and guest conduct with the @berrycollege Wind Ensemble. Feeling proud to be a music educator in Georgia! #GMEA23 #musiceducation

Space Camp was a joy because I had friends like these that I could learn and grow alongside of. This school year, let's make sure our classrooms are inviting spaces where students are given opportunities to bond with peers they can soar to new heights with. 🍎❤️🚀👩🚀
It’s time we focus on a comprehensive education, one that not only includes STEM but also music and the arts.

Pretty dang proud of this guy! What a well deserved honor! @jermar_rountree I think you’ve found your second calling!
As we are in the final days of the school year…I’m excited to move up to high school! For next school year, I am teaching math at @RiverwoodICS . I look forward to the future opportunities that lie ahead! Let’s get to work! @ricsprincipal @alexbatesedu @GO_Fulton
A parent sent me this picture after the grad walk, and I can’t get over it! What a joy to get to pour into these kids and watch them soar!
I’ve spent the entire evening working with Subs and Paraprofessionals who are starting our Build Our Own Teacher program Their excitement to get support toward getting a teaching license has rejuvenated me. I want to do a college style signing day when they get their contracts.
The #EastMiddleSchool Band played their last note for the school year today at the @ElitchGardens On-site Music Festival today and scored a GOLD rating! 💪🏽 A big thank you to Jim Farrell adjudicating and giving us a mini clinic! He gave some really great tips!
What separates good from great teachers: empathy, attunement, social cognition, concern, self presentation, & influence.

You know how you read to be transported? That’s how I feel about math. There’s this rhythmic, meditative quality about it that transports me. But instead of transporting me to another world, it transports me into my own mind. That’s why I love it and why I love teaching it.
