Would you want to teach in this state if your expertise was ignored or discounted and you were routinely vilified by the leaders of this state?

[Brian D. Wall @BrianWall66]

Politics doesn't belong in Iowa's science classrooms. Please, Iowa Legislators, listen to the educators. This is just the latest example of where you are getting out of your lane. https://t.co/j2UhGr7XYS

[Brian D. Wall @BrianWall66]

Correction. I meant the DE. Although the Iowa Legislature is also overstepping on a regular basis right now. The point is that teachers’ voices are ignored. And we wonder why there is such a shortage in our state right now.

@LyndseyFennelly Congrats on the well-deserved HOF selection. Now I can tell people I’ve golfed (at Okoboji Classic) with a Cyclone Hall of Famer!

🧵 🪡 THREAD: Mobile Phones
This might be controversial, unpopular or uncomfortable to read but I genuinely worry about the damage mobile phones do, not just to our young people but also to us as fully developed adults. 1/7

I graduated from a small town in Southern Iowa. Join me in advocating to Governor Reynolds and legislators that AEAs are needed for ALL kids in ALL schools. No changes needed! @KimReynoldsIA

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

So many applications for this. Perhaps @GovReynolds and the Iowa Legislature would benefit from following @briankight . https://t.co/ZPRWKIhDpC

[Brad Buck @DrBradBuck]

The AEAs are a system. That system is predicated on economies of scale. The bill in its current form will potentially encourage larger districts to self-fund and leave. If the “scale” leaves the system, students in rural IA are very likely to be the most negatively impacted.

[Brian D. Wall @BrianWall66]

@SenClaireCelsi @IAGovernor, please talk to the AEAs. Our representatives should be talking to and listening to US.
