Dr. Sadin states compassion fatigue is huge for educators because they not only run into the burning building; they also pull up a seat & have a relationship with it. 🔥 💡 Self care matters & must be a priority so we can continue to put kids first. #TraumaInformed #TSS2020ATN

Best moment of the day. Really shows the joy our students have!

When I was a classroom teacher I made my Ss memorize & list all 50 states & 42/43, at the time, presidents in 5 minutes or less.
I thought this was a great task, back then.
Today, I can't do this.
Today,none of them need to do this.
All I did was create unnecessary anxiety.
Sorry

New renovations for central administration offices? YES!

New online credit recovery program costing $300,000? YES!

Replace 2 year old football uniforms for 17 teams? YES!

Can teachers get a much needed raise (only 1%) we haven’t received since 2012?
WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY!

I didn't realize how much homework took away from family time and time for a kid to be a kid until my first child started having homework...in first grade.

Three things students want from their teachers:

1) To enjoy their job

2) To be excited about the lesson

3) To love the kids

Working with the MS A/V club today was so much fun! Parents are going to enjoy our Parent Night video! So proud of our students and their advisor Mr. Heisey. @etownPAschools

Most experts agree class sizes between 15-18 students have a significant impact on student achievement and narrowing the achievement gap.
Most teachers I know have MORE THAN DOUBLE the recommended numbers! 😔

Teachers, please don't do these 5 things this year:
* take away recess as a punishment
* use silent lunch on whole group
* make students go more than an 1- 1 1/2 hr without a break
or physical activity
* take students misbehavior personally
* give up on your students

What would happen if EVERY teacher in the US went on strike and insist on...
•Smaller class sizes
•Increased prep time
•Higher pay
•Increase nurses & counselors in schools
•Less standardized testing
•Improved facilities

What would happen?
OUR KIDS DESERVE IT!

Within a 5 year period, my district trained teachers on...
•ClassDojo
•Remind
•Edmodo
•Schoology
•ClassTag
All of these share many similar functions. We need to stop jumping on ‘the next best thing’, give teachers a break and choose an all-in-one system! #EdChat #EduTwitter
