I will be leaving Twitter effective 02.10.25. I have Instagram and Facebook. Message me, if you’d like to follow me on either of those platforms or would like my email address.
@Shapiro_WTHS I feel that it's imperative for students to know that teachers and caregivers are on the same page and working together to help them learn and grow! #teachpos
@Shapiro_WTHS A3: There are lots of ideas in my book!
Make them feel like they are a part of the team. Communicate with them through various forms of communication. Over-communicate. Invite them in to ovserve and be a part of the classroom. Let them see your classroom in action #teachpos
@Shapiro_WTHS A2: Usually, I can calm a situation when I explain that we both truly want the same thing and that is what is best for their child. #teachpos
@Shapiro_WTHS A1: In 40 years of teaching, how can you not? I've been threatened with physical violence, had my share of verbal abuse. Some parents need parenting classes and communicating classes. Blessed to have mostly supportive admin. that supported and protected me. #teachpos
@Shapiro_WTHS BA: I feel like this is different for me. I am being paid more than I've ever been paid or could be paid anywhere else in the state, plus I'm not the primary breadwinner.
I don't know how others do it, quote frankly, and coupled with student loans?
