This Is Our Moment

"...We have the perfect opportunity to change it." Ms. Tina Ellis Dean of Students, Grade Level Lead, Assistant Principal, Teacher, Teacher Coach, Substitute Teacher, Parent "When I look at things, I can look at things from many different lenses." #Shoutout to the little sisters!! This week, we are joined by Ms. Tina Ellis, an East Coast educator who credits her sister as the inspiration that led her into the classroom. Tina reflects on the role that resources played in her own educational experience, her early beginnings in the nonprofit space, and why she is driven to help teachers understand their power. "I see my children in my students." What is the Black boy experience in schools? Tina shares a tragic example of misreading the signs, mental health, and why she feels we are in a state of emergency.
