I love to #write, but I was never gifted in #art. That is why I love products like this. It makes me want to watch every episode of the #TwilightZone all over again. https://t.co/ilKeq0xlWC

#FirstLineOfMyObituary She was never afraid to speak out.

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

Yes!

A2 #satchat I once worked with a #literacy coach, who, I kid you not, could not spell properly or use correct punctuation. Someone missed something along the way there. Her talents could have been improved with some gentle, but meaningful feedback.

#Satchat A1 Evalution should be based on the process of educating, planning, interacting, implementing of a lesson, maintaining rapport. Too much of #teacher evaluation is now based on how closely the teacher follows the manual. That is not authentic #teaching.

Hello from freezing New England! Spring is next month, so we are all holding on! #satchat

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

I #write about issues taking place in the field of #education. Very pleased to have found this chat. We must speak up if we want to see change, and I write to make that happen. Good morning to everyone. #5amwritersclub

#hacklearning A2 I would do what I do with my other classes: I would have #students discuss real-life connections to the topic #math #KidsDeserveIt

Most people have no idea how hard it is to prepare good sub plans for an absence. #teaching Is it strange that it takes me hours to put my sub binder together at the start of the year? Then, of course, there are plans for a specific absence. How long would you say it takes you?

I am a #comedy #writer and a #teacher, but I do not joke about #teachers. I only joke about the people who make life difficult for #teachers.

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

#teacher and #comedy #writer. You have to be the latter to survive the former. https://t.co/5po3lSNjoE

A2 #satchat Traditional exit tickets can be reformatted as a Google form. "What did you learn today that you didn't know before?" #teach in a way that no one writes "nothing."

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

A1 #satchat Think about the thing you struggle with the most in life? How would you like to be evaluated on that every day?

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

Good Morning, #writer, #educator, and #book lover from New England. #satchat Supporting #teachers and #students is my favorite way to spend time.

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

Can someone tell me why I am consistently hearing about #educators being forced into the #LucyCalkins modelfor #writing #instruction without their input? #teaching #education #standardizedtesting #WUOS

#satchat A4 PD is designed to help us reach #students more effectively. Let's remind those who design our PD that is about #students, not #testscores or #policy

[Chloe Garfield @educatorhumor]

#satchat A4 As with all things, our collective voices have an effect. When we stand together in reminding #administration that our choices matter, we have moved in the right direction.
