  • SteinbrinkLaura May 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A5: When a S scowls at me and says they now see word roots everywhere, that warms my heart. When a teacher says thanks for showing me that, I smile. When my Sup is addicted to EDU podcasts because of me and thanks me, I am encouraged. When my P gives me the #tlap award, I cheer!

    A5: S growth moment came when I heard so many of them say that they felt like they had a voice and understood how to use it after being in the govt class with me. That gets right to my heart every time because they are powerful, they just didn't see it yet. #tlap
  • HowardKiyuna May 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
