I don’t teach from a textbook. I teach students with disabilities, ages 18–22, in their final years before they age out of the public school system. They’re no longer just learning — they’re preparing to lose the protections of entitlement under public education and enter a…

Reading Specialists have different needs than a classroom 👩🏻‍🏫. I teach in a #Title1 low-income 🏫. My 👦🏽👧🏿 need access to books & motivation to keep working on their reading, even when it's hard. Thanks for helping to #clearthelist! #cookcounty #Reading amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Oof, I’ve got to get this sleeping schedule fixed before we return to school! 😅

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of posts about people feeling uncomfortable—about “icks,” inappropriate DMs, crossed boundaries, and just general unease in spaces that should feel safe, supportive, and empowering. And it’s really made me pause and reflect. If I have ever made…

Well, to hell with my sleep schedule I guess. I just finished The Hunting Wives 😂 It was horny, corny, and JUICY!!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trashy summer guilty Netflix pleasure to binge!

It’s that wonderful time of year again! #JohnClearMyList!! Where are my teachers?! Are you ready to have your lists cleared? Be sure to look at the rules to learn how you can enter.

Still breaks my heart that he’s gone. He was someone I really looked up to as a kid. 💔

If Annie pulls a rare sports card, she’s thrilled. If I pull a rare student who asks to clean the microwave independently, I glide like a laminated worksheet in the wind 😂 Different decks. Same hustle. 👊🏻 Sprinkle me, queen! 👸🧼🧠 #ClearTheList

Suppose to be fixing my sleep schedule but still up binging The Hunting Wives on Netflix 😭😂 I guess I still have a week left to get back on schedule…. Right?!?!

I cannot believe this is our last week of summer break!!!

We’re getting chickens this year for our class (I wrote a grant to build onto our coffee shop- we will be doing a farm to market cafe by adding breakfast tacos with eggs from our chickens 🐓!) This sweater would be PERFECT 😍

Ok folks, it’s that time of year… brace yourselves for #clearthelist2025! Teachers, add your list here and I will boost it and work to have others boost it until school starts. Just because I’m no longer teaching does not mean I’m no longer a teacher. ;) #clearthelists

Today marks 34 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990—a turning point in civil rights for over 60 million Americans. It was hard-won, with sit-ins, arrests, and tireless advocacy. Let’s talk about why it matters. #ADA34 ♿🧵…

If you’re looking to support a teacher who truly gives his all, look no further than my colleague & friend @Monci_vais1 💙 Eli teaches Chemistry & Biology at my campus! Were a Title 1 school in the heart of Dallas. He’s heading into his third year of teaching, & let me tell you…

I remember my kindergarten teacher cutting out construction paper crowns with a glittery number 6, & the excitement of opening the big drawer to choose a color on our special day. I remember climbing into the loft in 1st grade, sliding word cards into the machine that read them…

Hey @grok who is the most famous person to visit my profile? Doesn't have to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who. If it’s Elon Musk, who’s the second most famous person?

I teach in a transition and vocational program for students with significant cognitive disabilities, ages 18–22. Together, we focus on building real-world life skills like cooking, managing money, communication, social interaction, and job training. We believe in progress over…

Feeling beyond grateful today 💙 A huge thank you to Lori Lewis, Brooke Warden, and Shannan Meehan for your incredibly generous wishlist gifts! From a mini waffle maker and kitchen tools for our life skills cooking lessons, to string lights and an art display system that will…
