Today Ihad the great privilege of honoring the teacher that had the greatest impact on my life. Donna Andre’s influence was transformational and I owe much of who I am to her. Thank you Donna! Teachers make the Difference! #MABEMI23 #TeacherApprecationWeek #TeacherAppreciation

Food, Friends, and Fun! #mabemi25 Some of the best memories are made by breaking bread together! @KatieKinder1 @elisewhitediaz @MABE_MI @AndreaHonigsfel @michiganels @adrianmendozaed @dr_aquagirl @JennaWebb29 @MrsSpinasClass @NataliaESL @TBeeneEdu @MaddyMavro @schoolyardrap1

“If not you, then who? Who is going to stand in the gap for them? Who is going to keep loving on them when nobody else will? Who is going to believe more for them than they believe themselves.” #mabemi25 @elisewhitediaz @AnnaTeachesMLLs @Seidlitz_Ed #ELL

Troubled kids often push away the very help they need. Ever met a child in pain who resisted the help? Emotional attunement matters. For those who aren’t natural “tuners,” try the 4 S’s: a routine to help students regulate and feel seen, safe, soothed, & secure #mabemi25 @MABE_MI

Thank you @AnnaTeachesMLLs @Seidlitz_Ed for bringing the talent, the energy, the friendship and the partnership! #mabemi25 is fun and engaging because of your people! W/@dr_aquagirl @MABE_MI @JennaWebb29 @NataliaESL

Dr. Mazin Heiderson was a fierce advocate for multilingual learners & teachers. Our 2025 Spirit of Excellence Award goes to @culturelinksllc she inspired and challenged us to live into his legacy. “History will look back on this time & ask, what did the teachers do?” #MABEMI25

“Long term English learners are made in elementary. ELs don’t need a promiscuous array of teacher selected strategies. They need consistent, research informed instructional routines grounded in second language acquisition, literacy, & brain-based research”. #mabemi25 @HMHCo #ELL

“Teach our kids how to regulate their nervous system”@KatieKinder1 Three easy ways…. #mabemi25 #untoldteachingtruths

“Your best professional learning is the teacher down the hall” @KatieKinder1 #mabemi25 #untoldteachingtruths #thattealglasseslady

Everyone leaves a history, not everyone leaves a legacy. A legacy is simply a history worth repeating. Andy Leonard lives a legacy! He is our very first ever Legacy Award recipient. #mabemi25 would not be possible w/o @ImagineLearning . Thank you!
