@GovMurphy creates a task force to address teacher shortage… and includes NO TEACHERS on the task force! Prime example for why there’s a shortage - no one actually cares about the teachers! Bc if they did their thoughts, ideas, and feelings would valued the MOST. Disappointing.
Happy World Kindness Day!🌎🩷
Our class spent time today with @houstonkraft and @CharacterStrong listening in on how to be purposefully and courageously KIND. Being kind is hard and not free. Who do you want to BE when you grow up? Amazing for students and teachers! ⭐️
@kstroemel Always so grateful for my first an best teacher… who has inspired me to learn about and take on the values of Gordon, Covey, Brown, and beyond! 💗
Always so proud of my daughter, a teacher inspiring her students to love going to school!! Nothing better than making a difference in the lives of children!
@MrsKellySuarez@JonGordon11 To say one word about this Kelly + friends... 💯🙌 INSPIRING 🙌💯
Thank you for motivating and empowering your students and sharing such incredible work! 💖
Every year, we start by reading the picture book “One Word for Kids” by @JonGordon11. Our #OneWord Project went digital this year with Canva edits and @MicrosoftFlip QR code videos! They kids are so motivated to live their chosen word + to share with others why they chose it. 🌟
@GovMurphy you should take a page out of this fictional Governor from @Yellowstone’s book… watch this video and maybe you can understand how disrespectful & illogical your decision to not have teachers on your task force re: teacher shortage is!!
Teachers should especially be in any room where TEACHER shortage is being discussed and addressed. First step, @GovMurphy: value our thoughts and feelings. You’ll be surprised that all we want is to truly be respected.
The Dunkin’ Community Cruiser came to BCS to serve us free coffee and give away gift cards! Every staff member was smiling this morning! 🧡💗😀 Thank you so much @dunkindonuts#StaffMoraleIsImportant
I have so many thoughts on #LucyCalkins UOS, but I’ll leave you w one of the first things I learned about kids… children don’t just thrive on structure, they NEED it. Simply, the UOS do NOT follow Maslow’s Hierarchy. Structure, order, predictability = SAFETY.
@KatieHu12846223@ReadByExample Where is the explicit teaching of skills!!! Girlllllll. I’m still searching through the books and I’ve been using them for 5 years!! Unreal how this has been glorified for so long 😵💫😵💫😵💫
School leaders who want to reduce teacher turnover need to find their newest, most passionate teachers and take something off their plate right now!
It's so easy to see their dedication and pour responsibilities onto their eager plates. But new + passionate = burnout.
