If you haven't lately, take time to assemble a resume/list of accomplishments. I did a year ago, and it REALLY eased my impostor syndrome to see everything written down; I thought, "If this was someone else's resume, I'd be impressed!"

A company offered me an amazing opportunity yesterday. One I never thought to seek as I’m “just” a teacher. When we went through my skills and background - seeing it on paper - just astounded me. Teachers - we need to stop underestimating ourselves and what we do!

Mayor Mamdani announces a ban on generative AI in schools through 8th grade:
AI is not going to replace student-teacher interaction in NYC public schools. We have also heard the importance of protecting childhood—allowing students the opportunity to ask questions, to engage, to fail, to learn.
