@AnneDornPhilly This has been a talking point at my school. The enrollment system has under enrolled smaller schools and larger magnet schools are allowed to over enroll. There is a story there

@staceface736 @heymrsbond Curious what stands out to you as the biggest shift?

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@newskag So at minimum 262 students were driven away from SDP schools as a results of this

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@FixMallory @mr_saltz @RLStreaterEsq @newskag 7 teachers cut as of yesterday at my school. A school that was on the list of 12 from last week’s BOE meeting

[Andrew Saltz | AVENGE SEPTA @mr_saltz]

By the end of next week, maybe a dozen schools or more will be decimated by staffing cuts. Want to do something about it? #phled

@Dsmiller4 @Trentging15 I guess he also forgot about El Paso…

@Dave_Becker_ @PHLschools I should note it’s not an excuse. It’s simply the reality. Ultimately our students lose. But, it must force us to ask bigger questions about why this is happening

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@Dave_Becker_ @PHLschools Parental leave? Similar thing happened when I went out on leave this year. These are systemic problems- there are no teachers or substitutes

@themetphilly coming for War on Drugs show. Curious about breastfeeding mom who need to bring their pump- what’s your policy? Please feel free to DM

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@newskag Is the plan to just dismiss students and hope they can figure out how to get home? SEPTA isn’t running normal routes. What is the plan!!??

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@melshep34 @teacher2teacher Beautiful! Thank you!

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@ms_witherell @teacher2teacher Love, love, love this! I find myself using this word a lot even pre-pandemic. Grace is so important in school communities. Do you have thoughts about how you will approach this with kids this year?

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@melshep34 @teacher2teacher I am also curious about how you establish comfort level to know they can ask. It may be helpful for some of the colleagues I collaborate with in general education.

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@LaMenephee @melshep34 @teacher2teacher I think this is a great point! Framing is so important. What may feel like a strict or intimidating teacher can be framed as opportunity to practice!

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@teacher2teacher A5: regular communication with parents. I am thinking about holding a weekly office hours for parents to schedule a time. Supporting parents is a way of supporting our kids too

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@teacher2teacher A3: I think personal touches can go a long way. Follow up is crucial. Even if it’s a quick personal note to say hi, thanks for showing up today!

[Addy Lynch @AddyPhatty]

@teacher2teacher A2: start class with doing something not related to academics. Can use a question wheel, etc. Something to build community and share a human connection

@teacher2teacher @ROAR84mcclure @LaMenephee @BarbaraGruener Hello colleagues, I work with kids grades 9-12 as a special education teacher. My students are fully included and I run a resource room. Working mostly with students who have ASD, OHI or SLD
