Whether they're on the beach, in the classroom, or out exploring the world, these lovely ladies represent inclusive education wherever they go. Check out those super cool green 2Teach Global t-shirts!
ALT A group of six women pose together on a beach in front of large driftwood and a bright blue sky. They are all wearing matching green “2Teach Global” T-shirts and white baseball caps. Dr. Murawski is kneeling in front while the others stand close behind her, smiling and striking fun poses. The photo is framed with a decorative stamp-like border featuring travel-themed icons such as passport stamps and postmarks.

Thank you, @UMWCOE, for making SOL encouragement notes for 3rd-grade students at @SpotswoodElem!
Thank you, @Jen_D_Walker, for executing this idea! 💙
Another great day with @SCPSchools @ParticipateLrng teachers. It was great to see familiar faces and meet some of the program’s new teachers!

When a 40+ year friendship and work collide. Last week, I got the pleasure of welcoming our newest Eagle to campus, my friend’s son. @MaryWash

Hands down the best co-teaching infomercial I’ve ever seen at one of my professional developments. This school’s teachers rocked it! @_2Teach

Consider this…many people HONESTLY BELIEVE teachers have an ‘easy job, with short hours, summers off, and amazing benefits’
AND YET, in the past 7 years, states have had a record number of teachers leaving the profession with fewer prospects than ever.
Think about that. 🤔😐
These groups were on fire with their procedures!
Day 2 of learning for new and new-to-Spotsy teachers! Great focus session on Creating and Sustaining Classroom Culture with our UMW partners! Great ideas being generated! #Inspired

4 days, 3 school districts, 200ish new teachers, 7 presentations on classroom management, 2 tired feet, lots of excitement for these new teachers! Thanks @KGCSdivision1 @OCPS_VA @SpotsySchools
Over the past week, I’ve seen so many former/ forever @UMWCOE students at new teacher PDs. It’s always such a joy to see those grads who are now well seasoned teachers representing organizations and their divisions.
Last school division, but not the last day working with first year teachers! Today and tomorrow- @SpotsySchools My K-2 group was on fire with great ideas today!
