I have truly enjoyed my time on Twitter. While I haven't posted much in the last few years Twitter was a game changer for me in education. Given the direction of this platform however, I can't stay. Thank you all for giving so much to me. Forever grateful 🙏

@JasonAblin More staff in all levels of education. We are so severely understaffed it's making everyone's job nearly impossible.

@offgridteacher Cooperative learning structures and explicit directions as to what listening looks/sounds like.

[Andrea Ward @MrsWard3]

@flyingmonkey13 YES!!! So so damaging. Just as bad as the "do it for the kids" narrative.

[Andrea Ward @MrsWard3]

@offgridteacher @SharonCarter63 How does your school not have a library? Did it used to and then it was taken away for classroom space? I'm so confused. I didn't know that was a thing. But to answer your question, coding, STEM kits, reading or writing a story.

I love this idea! What a great way to ensure those positive notes are making it home😊

[Andrea Ward @MrsWard3]

@toddparr Thank you for all you do. ❤️

Thank you @hwtears for #MatMan! Second day of school, most of our self portraits were missing bodies. Today? Bodies everywhere! #success

@citizenstewart I'm not sure. I have a feeling the program in its entirety is probably different than what is happening. But a reward store for kids who are already doing the right thing and have teachers who LOVE tickets does nothing to change behavior. It's straight up bribery most of the time

We had the chance to rethink schooling. We had the chance to make systemic changes. We had the chance to really be about the equity we try to preach.

It's up to teachers and individual admin, yet again.

[Andrea Ward @MrsWard3]

@stoodle Just one? Consider yourselves lucky. It's so bad out there right now. 😞

@mrsgannon96 @DrGregGoins @TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @GustafsonBrad @casas_jimmy @Glennr1809 @DavidGeurin @JessicaCabeen @thomascmurray @Joe_Sanfelippo @adamdovico Could not agree more. People in suits need to stop. Immediately.

@DrGregGoins @TechNinjaTodd @mradamwelcome @GustafsonBrad @casas_jimmy @Glennr1809 @DavidGeurin @JessicaCabeen @thomascmurray @Joe_Sanfelippo @adamdovico None. Stop with this. Honestly. Just stop.

My wife and I found out yesterday that we both just happened to be shopping for bulletproof backpacks separately. This is where parents with kids at school are at, America.

@HistoryHoney @MtDiabloUSD @NorthgateHS Welcome back Meg. ❤️

@HScud Yes they did. My kids' district has been all in for years.

[Andrea Ward @MrsWard3]

About time. 👏👏👏 How districts ever believed this is beyond me.
