@_StevieJay_ Haha! I could see you doing this move too!

@crewjo7 @realMasonJones5 Tell him we said happy belated birthday!!

@pulte I’ll be missing an entire month of pay as I transition to a different school district for this upcoming year. I’m a teacher and I’ll be short about $4000 to cover my bills. 😞

@STEFisDOPE This is one reason I’m scared of being a teacher. We never know what will set a kid off and when we might find ourselves in a situation like this. I had a death threat against me last year. It’s scary times for teachers. And the most challenging it’s ever been in my career.

[Mrs. Johnson @CJohnsonELA]

@wfaa I’d be curious to know how this would impact districts that already pay above the state minimum. Would they be required to increase pay even though they are already surpassing the minimums?

[Mrs. Johnson @CJohnsonELA]

@RebekahODell1 @MPryle Where can I find resources for this method?

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

@drdjbarbarella It will never be safe if that’s the goal your looking for. I am a teacher in a school of 2400+. Hardly any mask anymore. I stopped as soon as we could. I caught Covid for the first time ever this past week and it was very mild - like a cold, minor congestion for 5 days.

@sykor11 @MrZachG Actually I wish lower grades would bring back memorization skills. The words are not the end goal, the skills is. I teach 9th grade and can’t tell you how many students lack basic memorization skills that they NEED to be successful. Those start with memorizing Vocab in elementary

@avalonsensei Apathy is at an all time high. There doesn’t seem to be a true desire for learning - more of just “I completed the assignment, why didn’t I get a 100?” mindset. Not understanding we grade for accuracy and mastery and not just rewarding for doing something-Instant gratification

@teachergrind It’s an uphill battle daily!

[Mrs. Johnson @CJohnsonELA]

@teachergrind Year 10 here & while I’ve had some Ss like this, it has never been a majority. That is the difference & is certainly an effect of COVID grace…at least in my area. When the majority (85%) are like this in advanced classes, & were not so prior to COVID, the correlation is evident

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Accurate. 💯

[Mrs. Johnson @CJohnsonELA]

@sweatystartup I don’t “give” HW. I plan plenty of class time for Ss to do work. Despite many redirections, some just don’t do it & goof off instead. So then, they have assigned themselves HW. If they don’t use class time wisely, they’re still responsible to finish it & that’s usually at home.

[Mrs. Johnson @CJohnsonELA]

@JayWamsted My largest classes are always the most chaotic. It’s hard to keep them all focused and on task. My largest this year is 33.
