I need your help: I am starting the process of looking into getting a hearing ear dog. I would love any advice about organizations to use or other tidbits. #Deaf #DeafEd #SCforEd #HardofHearing #ServiceDogs #NAD #HearingEarDog #DeafEducation #Deaflife

One of the reasons I don’t want to see paper, pencils, and books taken from the classroom. #ConverseChat

In a 2017 study, students silenced cell phones, stashed them away, ignored them outright. Silently, the phones fought back. I found it fascinating. My new piece for @Edutopia.

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek! #ThankATeacher properly this week by calling your state representative and advocating for teachers, students, and #publiceducation.

Can anyone else relate?

(I think this is an early Pollock by the way)

Marching with #AllOutMay1 is one of the most empowering thing I have ever done. #TeachSC #ConverseChat

I’m the proud husband of a teacher and know first-hand the impact of their work. Teachers around the country and in South Carolina deserve to earn a living wage and have smaller class sizes so that America can continue to out-educate and lead the world. #AllOutMay1

The idea of a 3D shape being laid flat to find surface area is a difficult concept to grasp... Until now! Loved these pull-up shapes we made today for surface area and volume! #svusdshines

RT @mraspinall Notice anything about this picture? What does it remind you of? #edchat

[K. Forbis @DeafEdKat]

I failed to mention the morality clause that is written into teacher contracts that is expected to extend into every aspect of your life. #TeachSC

A3 Living in a “right to work” state I don’t feel like I can stand up for the things I believe in if I don’t want to be blackballed. #TeachSC

[Michael Soskil (he/his) @msoskil]

I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters in #NorthCarolina and #SouthCarolina today.

A6: My favorite was classroom meetings. When my students and I were not on the same page, it was time to meet at the carpet and have a chat. How can we meet in the middle?? #TeachSC

[K. Forbis @DeafEdKat]

A6 we need to give them the opportunity. They can’t advocate for themselves if they never have a chance to practice. It is a skill just like any other. #TeachSC

[K. Forbis @DeafEdKat]

A5 I try to always put my student first and approach everything from a place of desire for them to be successful. #TeachSC

[K. Forbis @DeafEdKat]

A4 Education is one of the only professions where you wear so many hats with so little pay and respect. #TeachSC
