I've decided to create a Twitter thats entirely dedicated to my experience as a teacher. This account will be used to share what works for me during my first year of teaching. If you have any twitter account recommendations that I should follow, leave them in the replies! Thanks!
This is what too many teachers across this country have to put up with on the regular. Being blamed for EVERYTHING while parents and their kids can do and say whatever they like with zero accountability for it. Why do teachers quit? Watch this for 1 snapshot.
Finally re-entered the twitter-verse! Let's clear those lists!
I teach 2nd grade in small town Montana at a title 1 school. My student often suggest items that they'd like! I'd love to see some of these items make it into our classroom this year! https://t.co/5l1CbuQZcA
I had to kill a wasp in my classroom today so that students would stop freaking out and stay on task. We’ll just file that under the every-expanding category of “other duties as assigned.”
Idea to attract new teaches:
Federal policy that after 4 years of teaching, 100% student debt forgiveness.
It is a nation literally investing in its future.
@heymrsbond I do check-ins on sundays and ask staff what they need for the week. And then I provide it, no matter what the ask. I do personalized pd. I turn meetings into emails. I ask Ts before making decisions that will impact them. I cover classes. And I tell them they’re brilliant. ♥️
"If you don't want to teach, don't teach. Quit." - @JoeNBC
- Teachers want to teach.
- Teachers are getting sick.
- There are not enough subs.
- Teachers who aren't getting sick are now expected to cover for the teachers who are.
- Then those teachers get sick or leave.
I wonder if anyone is ever going to notice that the density of crowding in most schools is beyond what most adults experience in their workplaces, and is not only bad for learning, but is also a public health issue.
To the substitute educators that have showed up this week... the new ones that saw a need and signed up... the ones that came out of retirement to help... the ones that keep coming back... you are SO appreciated! Thank you!
