Happy Pride!
This month is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for progress on equality and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ folks worldwide. However, the work and growth must persist beyond Pride month. Change — legislative and societal — takes time. Change goes beyond the bare minimum of acceptance. For progress to be made on the basis of equality for the LGBTQIA+ community, it must be intersectional. I created this guide for teachers and anyone else who celebrate and be an ally for LGBTQIA+ folks, students, and families. It is a starting point. The real growth and change happen through your own actions and initiative. Many schools and classrooms still reflect cis heteronormativity. All students and families must be included, welcomed, celebrated, and reflected in the classroom and the environment. . . .If you like this post, have any questions, or have ideas on how I can improve my blog, leave me a comment below! Your input is always appreciated. As always, thank you for your support.

Dear high schoolers,
You have probably heard rumors, stories, and news about teaching or work in education. You have questions, concerns, and perceptions.

Although I cherish my work with children and the profession, I understand the issues and burdens that come with it. My goal is to provide resources and support to help you make the best decision for you. I hope this post answers your questions. However, please leave a comment or send me an email if you have any other questions or concerns.
Dear all readers,
If you are considering becoming a teacher or working in the education system, thank you. Thank you for considering this career or major. To current or retired teachers and education workers, thank you for all you do. As I have relayed in past posts, teachers and others working in education (including specialists, administrators, librarians, etc.) are essential to supporting children in their academic and personal development. However, I understand that working in education is not for everyone, and that is completely ok! From my experience working with teachers and studying education, I understand that work in this field comes with pros and cons. Especially throughout the past year, the teaching profession has received a lot of negative criticism. So, now it's time to wade through the facts and questions. Let's get started! Questions addressed in this post:
