An interesting way to add student desks to synchronous #DistanceLearning.

I took some time today to write a reflection on the spectacular people I'll serve this year. They will each bring something so special to our classroom community. I am focusing on my gratitude for them, instead of my nerves!

@Katiecounselor Two of my favorite people! I get to watch K and A Live Kind in the 2nd/3rd grade hallway every day!

“Teachers should write their own tests, as they did for generations. States should save billions now wasted on standardized testing & spend it instead to reduce class sizes so children can get individualized help from their teacher.” @TIME @DianeRavitch https://t.co/SBFGkkp4yU

“Donna Houston-Woods was convicted of defrauding her own Dallas charter school, but she wasn’t done taking its money.
She returned to Nova Academy after her October trial and pocketed a $20,000 bonus.”

You can’t make this stuff up.

It’s cool to see candidates so committed to public education. Hopefully we see more of this from both sides of the aisles as Texas teachers wake up, advocate, and vote!

• Who was your favorite educator?
• What was your favorite school lunch?
• Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, or Schoolhouse Rock?

Here's how @ewarren answered these questions and more!

Math is more than just numbers—it can serve as a way to help students make sense of their world. This 4-step process helps do just that.

If you’ve never been to @MODPizza, go. The pizza is great, toppings are free, and they just remade my pizza for free because it got cold waiting for me to pick it up (20 min after pickup time). Good customer service always pays dividends. Will definitely be back!

@Aly_Raisman 😍 Our students need strong, positive, joyful and courageous role models like you, Aly! You and Jordyn were characters in a story problem in my 3rd grade math class today. Trying to get my kids excited about the Olympics, inspirational young leaders, and fractions all at once!

@BoydAIMStory @BoydBlackhawks Go blackhawks!! So cool! Congrats!!!

I truly believe you can tell how good a leader really is by how they treat those they’re hired to lead. Do they have empathy? Do they tell the truth? Do they seek ideas from others than themselves?

People quit a boss, not a job.

Yikes! Is this true?

Texas' Teacher Retirement System has a massive deficit because the Texas GOP have refused to properly fund the plan. I believe they intend to convert to a 401K-type system, which will constitute a huge slash in benefits for teachers. Count on me to fight hard against that! #txed

This banana was crazy and brown and the kid was still pumped. Watch this video without smiling, I dare you.
