@mbteach My printer’s nickname is “treehugger mishap” 😂

@mbteach I get annoyed at the continuous pop up’s from instant ink. They are relentless. I turn it off and for some reason it keeps coming back.

@mr_isaacs Wow! This IS a whirlwind trip! We skipped Monaco and headed to Menton. It is absolutely breathtaking. We even walked over to Italy for lunch. ☀️ safe travels!!

The other observation is how can all professions (yes, edu too) shift to work/life balance so the US retains and attracts talent (at every age). What is the US haunted by that keeps us moving to this place? #worklife #tchrburnout

There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence.

The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year.

Support your new teachers.
🔺Check on them daily.
🔸Model lessons for them.
🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1.
🔸Provide specific feedback.
🔺Model the first phone call home.
🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them.
🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often.

Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple.

What did I miss?

@mbteach Beautiful! We’ve been growing green peppers, jalapeño, strawberries and flowers. We’ve been appreciating the natural mosquito repellent of the sage, lavender and rosemary. Let us know if you want to do an exchange.

“My super power is curiosity” YES!! @alieward !!

@DrP_Principal LOL! When I inherited my 1st classroom 15+ years ago I found a bunch of “dittos”. I came into education from tech and thought well, ‘it’s forward from here’!

@alicekeeler @EvoHannan If you like them you can find them in the US or a larger variety @ grocery stores that carry foods from the UK. US version: (Americans are so shy about our guts)
