So proud that Anderson was my home for 10 years! This team does amazing things for kids! Thanks Superintendent Degenfelder for being there to celebrate with them! #AndersonHawks@Laramie_1@WYOEducation
Superintendent Degenfelder had the opportunity this week to visit Anderson Elementary in Cheyenne, and talk with students and staff. Visiting schools in Wyoming is such a pleasure for us at the WDE - oh, and GO HAWKS!
I don't expect the average US teacher ($58,260) to make as much as the average pro athlete (NBA: $8.3 million, MLB: $4 million, NFL: $3.2 million, NHL: $2.6 million), but I would expect to make more than the average NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL MASCOT ($60k).
Students remember some of their teachers.
They remember the ones who cared, the ones who were silly, the ones who tried to connect with students, the ones who always seemed to love their job.
EVERY teacher has the opportunity to be memorable.
My room is almost packed and I winding down my last day at #AndersonElementary and @Laramie_1 Excited to be starting a new adventure on Monday, sad to be leaving my students and Hawk family. Thanks @mrfraley for hiring me 10 years ago!!
The more you like kids, the more they like you.
Why does that matter?
Typically… stronger relationships lead to stronger learning.
In schools… learning is the goal.
If you want to keep the best teachers, pay them like they're the best and also treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
If I have a concern about something at my kid’s school… I should:
A. Post about it on social media
OR
B. Contact someone at the
school who can actually do
something about it
(I’m gonna go with B!)
