2021=Comeback Year!, 1st grade teacher (juggler of a lot), former principal & assistant supt, husband, father, co-author of "What's In Your CORE?"@GoelzBrothers
Hey #teachertwitter, I'm looking to follow the best teachers like YOU! Iโค๏ธgetting:
๐ฅGreat new strategies for my classroom
๐Inspiration to keep me going
๐คThoughts about teaching.
Please REPLY with something from the above list, RT, and โ out my tweets/follow. TY!๐Then...
Who would have thought the 2021-22 school year would in some ways be just as challenging as the 2020-21 year?
TEACHERS, GIVE YOURSELF GRACE. YOU'RE ROCKIN' IT!
That's it, that's the tweet.
It's one thing to TELL your S's that anyone can be an author.
It's something completely different to SHOW them! Not only did they see the book I co-authored, they also met my twin bro and co-author @goelzg! TY for meeting with my 1st graders today!
"Anyone can be an author!"
Hey principals: Teachers don't WANT you in our rooms (some of us freak out when you walk in.)
HOWEVER, we NEED you in our rooms so that you know what's happening with students.
Principals: Get into classrooms! When is the last time you did so and regretted it?
Answer: NEVER!๐
Need a laugh? Kids are so funny!
Playing a math game today with #'s 1-10 in various colors. One S gets a blue two, says "blue two" but it sounds more like "blue tooth."
Another S says, "The last time I had a blue tooth, my mom took me to the dentist."
Cracked. Me. Up!๐
Some students unfortunately dislike school until they meet that one special teacher who builds a bond with them that will never be broken. After that, that same student soars.
Be that teacher.
Wanna follow a school that thinks outside the box mostly because there is no box? Watch this video ๐
from principal @goelzg and also follow @DottkePBLHS! ๐ฅ
Teachers: Remember to keep the main thing the main thing.
Fancy, I know.
What's your main thing? Why did you sign up for this gig in the first place?
My main thing is making learning enjoyable and memorable.
If you've wandered, get back to it!๐
Dear Principal:
What teachers need:
โ Less meetings (Make 'em count when we have 'em).
โ Fewer forms to fill out about students (we know where they're at and how to move them forward).
โ More positive feedback (a little note, email or comment is๐ฅ).
Sincerely,
Your Teachers

Having a high performing school with high test scores and lots of kids with 4.0's doesn't by itself make your school amazing.
Those students must also be prepared for life including how to work collaboratively, handle failure, communicate effectively, and, well, be a nice person!
๐ Parked there today. A couple blocks from @wistatfair, friendly staff working the lot, and every dime goes to @DottkePBLHS students. @goelzg, the principal, organizes it, works it, and doesn't keep a dime for his own budget. Instead, it goes right to the teachers and students!
Going to the @wistatefair? Park @DottkePBLHS where ๐ฏ% of the ๐ฐ raised goes directly to our kids!
And, you might even catch teacher @papagoose_cw giving out a free concert!

Hey administrators..... you've had quite a year just like teachers and all educators. From my teacher/staff colleagues.....
Please use your well deserved vacation days this summer and work a bit less as you deserve a break too! You'll be thankful that you did!
Best day EVER when your twin bro @GaryGoelz of @MVWolves invites you to do a virtual read aloud to his awesome 1st graders!
Btw: I highly recommend โLibrary Lion.โ Great book.
๐ ๐ฆ
@DottkePBLHS principal @goelzg read to my first grade students today! So cool that he read virtually for students who aren't even in his school or district! Thank you bro (literally)! @MuskegoNorwaySc, @MVWolves and @WAWMSchools PROUD!
Teachers, you've survived one of the most challenging school years in the history of school years. ๐
Congratulations!
What strategies and techniques from virtual teaching and learning will you keep for years to come?
I'll be keeping virtual parent read-alouds!
