I freaking love my job (even after 21 years) - teaching 7th Pre-AP, 8th, and Algebra 1 in the Texas Panhandle! Always looking to do it better. #MTBoS

[Mary Gambrel @MarGambrel]

Ohhhhh, I think I need to try this! Giving it a go on Monday! @MrKisselMATH

[Jason Kissel @MrKisselTECH]

Rational exponents in #Algebra2 and wanted a new way to practice. Groups of 3-4 all working on the same paper. After 1 min, rotate the paper and work on a new problem/correct mistakes/finish someone else’s work. Great classroom talk #MTBoS #iteachmath

DANG! But I want them to be unique. Bitter truth to swallow..... @MrsMathematica

[Esther @MrsMathematica]

"you're struggles are NOT unique, I'm really sorry but they're not!" - @MrDraperMaths dropping truth bombs! #TMMathsIcons

OMG! "Circle Sky"? I need to find out more info about this! @dailystem

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

I asked my student if she had finished her "circle sky" drawing yet.
She excitedly pulled out the finished work.
Amazing!

I thought I was the only one who did that..... Yeah for bringing your own containers! @howie_hua

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

I'm always on the lookout for ways to be greener. One of my dreams is to normalize bringing Tupperware to restaurants when you know you're going to have leftovers to avoid using one-use containers.

@MrJohnRowe @Jstevens009 @dean_caroline I teach 7th pre-AP (12 - 13) and 8th regular/8th Pre-AP Alg (13 - 14). Don't worry about all the questions! My "regular" 8th math class is my smallest (28 students).

[Mary Gambrel @MarGambrel]

OMG! This is soooooooo true! @mrwschool

Dude.

It’s arrogance that makes your strengths the standard for excellence.

We confront others through the lens of our strengths.

Strangely, the people you hire and get promoted bear a striking resemblance to you.

THAT is one of my most favorite poems EVER. I read it to my math classes at the beginning of the year and the end of the year! My students amaze me daily! @arcticisleteach

[aeriale celebrates native heritage month @arcticisleteach]

I read Tupac’s “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” with my second graders today. Kids are brilliant! Stop pitying them because of their circumstances. This child’s life is his muse. I myself am a rose who grew from concrete! 🌹

[Mary Gambrel @MarGambrel]

Boom, there it is. @ERobbPrincipal

[Evan Robb @ERobbPrincipal]

We frequently hear teaching and being an educator is rewarding… it absolutely is. But, it is also hard work.
I know of no rule that says you have to choose one over the other- So, students first and remember teachers first too.
Without committed teachers, nothing works.

PLEASE use BCC, thank you! @alicekeeler

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Use BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) when sending an email to a group. Ask yourself, will someone reply all "thanks"? Then use BCC.

[Mary Gambrel @MarGambrel]

@MrJohnRowe @Jstevens009 @dean_caroline Well, it kind of crept up on me. My 3rd year of teaching had the smallest class I've EVER had. Hated every minute of it (loved the kids though). Thought I liked 20 -24 best - ehhh. "Forced" into having 35 in an Algebra class - Bingo! LOVED it! Stack em up!

Reminder for me (I am a leader in the classroom, in the department, in the school) @HowWeTeach

[Michelle Rinehart @DrMRinehart]

We go along with leaders that we get along with.
Relationships in leadership are so critical! How might we ground our leadership in relationships with the people we serve?

@PolemicsM @JeremyInSTEM @iteachmathAll What?! Well, duh! moment for me here! I use excell for all kinds of things, but for coming up with problems, i tend to go to paper and pencil. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees ;(.

[HighFive @HighFiveK12]

Thank you to all of the educators for what you do for not only your kids, but for society. #teachergoals

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

We know that students feed off the energy of their teachers. And to a large extent, the teachers feed off the energy of their principal. So schools need principals who are excited about what they’re doing.

[Mary Gambrel @MarGambrel]

This might be something to try with my kiddos before we start factoring quadratics (they're always a little rusty on knowing their factors! The absolute best way to practice flash cards with elementary students https://t.co/3ojSGEcZHX @mpershan
