If school districts would take time to ask teachers, if you were to think about leaving, what would it take for you to stay. They would quickly find what they need to focus on to improve teachers working conditions.

[Darilyn Gorton @MSGorton]

@DrBradJohnson My concern as an educator is the lack of student accountability.Students are not accountable for their attendance, participation, social behavior, time on task, or grades. Teachers are expected to raise test scores, teach social emotional skills and close learning gaps.

[Darilyn Gorton @MSGorton]

Listening to the news yesterday about why teachers are resigning, not retiring. I think it is time they pole teachers to get the real scoop. . .

Let go of control. Any notion that you had it was an illusion.

Do you read in public? My daughter just told me to put my book away because shaking with semi-silent laughter is not acceptable waiting room behavior. I told her it’s payback for her entire childhood. @MsPreciousCCMS @JenniferDeFeo @TheBloggess

[Darilyn Gorton @MSGorton]

I teach because these students are our future, it is empowering to see the sparks of learning when something new is discovered or built upon!
