Asking why...it's my new classroom management strategy because I WANT to understand why. For example, "Why do you think it's okay to make fun of a student asking a question?" My favorite: "Why do you think it is okay to prevent another student's success by distracting them?" WHY.

I helped a family member create, complete, AND reflect on his resume. We also discussed his previous employment experience to help him establish goals. All that in less than 40 minutes! Whew! If only I could get my students to do the same...daily.

All my career I have only attended our high school's graduation. Today, I am attending our #CommunityCollege graduation of one of my #formerstudents and, as a teacher, it's empowering. #VVCRam Great job! @VVCFoundation

@Larryferlazzo These are actually good prompts. AI can't replace voice in one's personal experience in writing, at least not yet. 😳

@shannonmmiller Our Honors Teacher did this in her classroom, and it was a success! For the library, you can host a buffet and let classes come on in. Separate stations by genres. Or, set-up a picnic area and students can choose.

@lrcavazos @howie_hua Same! I looked at everyone else's replies and I was like, "Uh, we don't count one at a time anymore? I'm so behind!"

A #Teacher takes his own childhood experience with #racism, creates a symbol of this experience to the #classroom to build community, now getting ready to publish it as a book before retiring next school-year. 👏🏽

@EduCelebrity I'm definitely NOT an Elite teacher, I just don't know anything about football.

Annoying assumption about me being a teacher #8410: That I like giftcards from Starbucks or drink wine.

Annoying assumption about me being a teacher #5793: Just because I am a teacher, does not mean I want to plan and host children games at your event. Plus, I am a high school yeacher!
