Teacher at Stratford Stem Magnet School in Nashville, TN. Interested in science, pedagogy, and all things true crime. RTs are not endorsements. she/her
I’ve be dreaming about this opportunity for years and LOVE this idea! I think Pokémon has a great opportunity to teach local environmental stewardship with this character. We could call her Terra or Fern - any plant name (but she’s obviously not a professor so no tree names)
My character would be an educator type- she would teach about the importance of swamps and why we need to support “gross” Pokémon types like bug, poison and ghost because they help swamps, which clean water. My team would be gastly, beedrill and muk. #PokemonGOTourContest

It’s definitely feels forced. Like, I love feedback, but it seems like district is trying to force normalcy. Admin do more than observe and rn during a pandemic, is not the time to worry about that. Let admin support and help students please
Costume? I have been wearing a costume all school year.
My costume, like many educators, is maintaining the appearance of being strong, positive and confident in front of students, while internally being overwhelmed, stressed and breaking down.

I wish we could put all the energy from assessing teachers and students into counseling students and their families. Some parents are more frustrated than their kids rn
I worry about the validity of formal evaluations right now. How can anyone accurately assess teachers w/ all the variables associated w/ learning that are beyond their control. The focus should be on what do you need & how can we support you during these unprecedented times.
My Uber driver last night was a teacher. Not a retired or part time teacher, but a full time 2nd grade teacher.
She gets done teaching at 4 and starts driving at 5.
This is how little teachers are valued in America.

Asking teachers to do ‘ONE MORE THING’ and not removing anything else from their plate doesn’t help anyone.
•It doesn’t help Teachers!
•It doesn’t help Test Scores! 🙄
•And it certainly doesn’t help STUDENTS!
