@SAMcClellon Store brand Mac & Cheese mixed with either tuna, cream of mushroom, or cream of chicken soup. Done right, it can make 2 meals. Also, rainbow pasta with Italian dressing and mixed veggies. (I know, it’s high carb, but fills you up)

What people think teaching is like and then (wait for it)…what it’s ACTUALLY like. 🤣😔

@SteeleThoughts Be in classrooms every day. Schedule that time in. Ask open-ended questions about what you observe and really listen to the responses. Share what is working as a means of coaching, always giving credit to the teacher.

@thebranchmedia In a 2023 Gallup survey, 36% of Americans said they were satisfied with the education system. At the same time, 76% of parents said they were satisfied with their children’s education at a local school. It is hard to judge school when you aren’t connected to one (my takeaway)

@pastors4txkids @BetsyDeVos For those of you who are stating public schools are terrible, how many of you have been in a public school in the last 10 years? Not read about them, but actually darkened the doors.

@ArmendarizDis16 How about doing what any intelligent person would do and review your ballot to see if YOU didn’t accidentally make a mistake. Stop tweeting nonsense to stir people up. It just shows a lack of character.

@Smooheed Now, go read the book. You’ll be just as impressed.

@becca95saunders @MrTs_NQTs I interviewed teacher candidates for 4 years and couldn’t tell you what one wore to the interview. I could tell you which ones were most impressive with their responses because I hired them. Wear the dress and be your best self.

@seanmarnold @EduCelebrity What about those of us who got out in May and immediately started back with summer school? July is our June.

@jmattmiller The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner. Actually I’m listening to it on the way to and from work after reading it a couple of years back.

@BeckyKeene And this was allowed? I’m sorry, but NO.

@miss_maloney_ @MrTs_NQTs Congratulations and welcome to the greatest career on the planet. I would suggest some workout clothes and a set time for exercise every day. It will make a world of difference in releasing the stress from the day. 25 years in and it still works.
