We connected. That's the crux of the business of teaching--connection. Never easy but always rewarding! 3/3

As a teacher I do not celebrate the new year on January 1st—it’s the first day of school!

My students start school Wednesday, and I still strongly believe the first day is the most important.

Students presented their narratives in creative and authentic ways. We’ve watched interpretive dance, read plays, watch movies... These @ZMS_news students composed and performed their own music which conveyed the journey of their protagonists! #mystudentsrock

Always thankful to be invited to the table.

Dr. McCormick hosted a joint meeting of our Teacher & Student Advisory Groups today. IDOE prides ourselves as facilitators of stakeholder input. In addition to these two groups, we have many other advisory groups to inform decision making. Everyone deserves a voice!

Ultimately, love doesn’t coddle, it cultivates. If we love our students, we will do everything in our power to equip them for the future.

I witnessed a young teacher do something today I have never seen. While reading the story, she said: “Stand up if you know the term, ‘refugee.’ Ok, each of you go to someone who is seated and explain the term to them. We will keep doing this until all are standing.”

#beinformed This puts students & staff at risk: HB 1253 allows anyone w/ a gun license (including students) to bring a gun to school, on buses, & at events. This doesn’t make schs safer! Testimony- Mon. 2/11 at 8:30. @sandyhook @AMarch4OurLives

For all my IN teacher friends. Here’s your chance to share your thoughts on the education bills this session?

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

At a time when IN is losing 35% of our teachers in the first 5 years of experience & 88% of them are telling us it is due to pay, IN must respond now. Kids deserve & depend upon excellent teachers. @EducateIN

First parent/teacher conference as the parent. My teacher self was reminded that parents want to know that teachers see, love & value their kid.

Me: Oh! You wrote two things?
Student: No, well, one is a rap I wrote for you.
Me: For me?
Student: Yeah, well, no one has ever cared about my raps before.

That's all they want, folks, for us to care. #WhyITeach
