@iverskalyn I love this so much! I stress so much to adults helping in my room to just let the kids do things themselves and guide them if needed!

Senate Republicans claim they're funding public schools at "historic levels." But their less-than-inflationary formula increase (.5%) will only cause more budget and curriculum cuts and staff layoffs. These aren't #mnvalues. #mnleg #fundourfuture

@iverskalyn That’s such a great idea!

[Bored Teachers @Bored_Teachers]

Yeah, no.

Kids of all reading levels come together for “collaborative reading” at this Bronx elementary school.

[Ashley @friendly1sties]

My students would benefit from this! They are so rough when they play! Any other elementary teachers have this struggle? #edusp19

From eye-to-eye contact to a hug, these adorable kids are learning how to connect through respectful, gentle touch.

Someone posted this on my Facebook the other day and it really hits home. Parents are always so quick to blame the teacher for a child’s problems, when we would do anything for our students! #edusp19

When you can do PD from the comfort of your own home 👌🏼 Has anyone else had their district do this before? #edusp19

Every child deserves a world-class education provided by well-trained educators. They deserve low class sizes and a counselor in each building. #mnleg must pass an Ed budget that funds our future! #fundourfuture #trainingmatters

[Ashley @friendly1sties]

🤣🤣🤣 we all have that one drawer right?!

[Bored Teachers @Bored_Teachers]

Almost anything.

As touching as this story is, it’s outrageous that any parent would have to decide between providing for their family and being with their sick child.

This is way too common among teachers and many other workers. It’s time for #paidleavemn. #mnleg #minnesotaisready

Friendly reminder to all as summer is nearing! #edusp19

The best educators never think they are doing enough.
(But you are, take a breath!) 💗🔥

[Ashley @friendly1sties]

Interesting! #edusp19

A new book creates a dialogue on early math between developmental psychologists and teachers. Here's what that means for students. https://t.co/8MIFaMlBn5

HF 2400 passes! Thank you, @mnhouseDFL. Minnesotans believe every student deserves a quality education, and this $900 million investment is an important first step in fully funding public education. #mnleg #fundourfuture #mnvaluesbudget

On modeling self-regulation through tone of voice: “The sweet spot is calm, neutral, assertive, and the teachers who get the best responses from kids are the ones that have mastered that the best.”

Today’s technology is the worst our students will ever use.

Studying the life cycle of butterflies. It was an exciting day as our caterpillars started to form their chrysalises!

Duluth is lucky. Voters there approved referendums to fund more teaching positions and reduce class sizes.

Other districts? Not so much. The quality of a child's education should not be determined by their ZIP code. It's time to level the playing field. #mnleg #fundourfuture

[Ashley @friendly1sties]

Love this idea! #edusp19

[edutopia @edutopia]

This tiny stack of cards helps students participate and have a voice—even if they’re shy.

We always watch something during snack time and my kids finally let me introduce them to Bill Nye after my relentless begging! We’re still going strong from the beginning of the month, I think I’ve got them hooked! #sciencerules @BillNye
