Show me a school where the teachers are happy, and I’ll show you a school where the teachers are trusted.

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

This is spot on 👏

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

Admin, if you’re asking your teachers to change the learning objective every day, I would love to hear the evidence to support this.

Constantly changing focus doesn’t allow space for reflection on growth, productive struggle, and clarity of learning.

We can't say we are doing best for our students if we aren't doing best for our teachers.

Weak leaders don’t like assertive staff. But Strong leaders love assertive staff because they understand that Iron Sharpens Iron!

We banned a poem before we banned assault weapons. We are a wholly unserious and insidious country.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

This is truth! 💯

I just stress ate a whole bag of chips. No, it was not the fun size bag. #teacherlife

Thankful my principal doesn't raid Barry Manilow's wardrobe. Small wins people. #TheBreakfastClub

Happy Birthday to one of the best and most beautiful people I have the privilege of calling friend. @JillBartz you are brilliant, kind, and I adore you always!💛🥰🎂

[Erin Cool-Banner @EcoolBanner]

@G__269 I love that brother!

[Erin Cool-Banner @EcoolBanner]

@JillBartz I. Am. So. Sorry.

[Monte Syrie @MonteSyrie]

I've begun to believe they just ain't buyin' it anymore.

We talk a lot about "learning loss" lately, but we've been losing at "learning" for years.

Each generation seems to balk a bit more at the notion they need what we're selling.

Or, I've just become a terrible salesman.

Show me a teacher and I’ll show you a high-functioning, anxiety-ridden, stressed out ball of exhaustion.

[KP @TeacherBusy]

The thing people often don’t talk about in teaching is how much of it is a performance. No matter what’s going on in your life you stand up in front of those kids and perform and if you’re ill or something challenging is going on in your personal life, that’s exhausting.

[Erin Cool-Banner @EcoolBanner]

@G__269 I did. Have a love-hate relationship with them. But hey, they always grow back.

[Erin Cool-Banner @EcoolBanner]

@ABobalik So gross but so true!

[Erin Cool-Banner @EcoolBanner]

@mattswier Well my husband literally just tripped down the stairs and ruptured a tendon in his knee(needed surgery) now I rethink walking up and down stairs every where I go and question why there are no railings? It’s the worst getting old.
