We came in at the same time through Teach for America. Both of us have degrees in education and have taught in different states. Though she taught in Tulsa, we remained connected for the last three years. We will both be moving on to other opportunities this fall. ]]> 2017-06-08 23:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175808954 anthonywhaley https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175808995 One of our Kindergarten friends was having a tough time following school expectations in the hallway. Before I could say anything, his sister came around the corner and asked if she could walk him down and have him try again. I shared the picture with their mother to thank her for the home connection.]]> 2017-06-08 23:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175808995 anthonywhaley https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175809002 During my graduation weekend. my sister and her husband came into town to celebrate with me.

I have learned that sometimes the children that need you the most are sometimes the most challenging. Here, one of our classroom's most frequent visitors was empowered to lead the intervention group. He enjoyed it so much, it became a regular job for him after school.]]> 2017-06-08 23:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175809005 anthonywhaley https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175809008 I had the honor of presenting at this years UCO Black Male Summit.

I am energized to learn more about the system of technology and how it has played a part in the success of our school systems. I also excited to learn about ways in which we can use technology as educational leaders to engage students, families, and staff members in new ways!]]> 2017-06-09 00:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175810107 anthonywhaley https://padlet.com/anthonywhaley/31sdf34pbbgs/wish/175810743 Hi!
