Schools are now structured so that the majority of student misbehaviors essentially have ZERO consequences…and that’s horrible for schools overall…but especially for the students that are not misbehaving.

Love it!! I feel like an definitely still a Work in Progress and that’s a good thing because I’m still moving forward!

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

The other day some educator pals suggested I make some shirts with A Work in Progress on it — that it could be empowering and helpful for people to announce themselves as such. I’m still figuring out what it would look like, but if there’s interest, I’ll do it. What do you think?

Performances today for Glacier Ridge and other D47 schools. Performance tomorrow for the public. The joy the students bring to the musical each year makes my heart burst! So grateful to be able to provide this experience for students to grow in ways they never expected!!🎉

Ouch!

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

When teachers make more money working other careers than they do in their teaching career, can you really call teaching a “career”?

[Bunsen, Beaker, Bernoulli & Brix @bunsenbernerbmd]

Retweet if you think every workplace should have a couple puppies to help with mental health.

Dear Teacher,

Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you.

You did that.

No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you).

Let that be the lift you need tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Not-So-Secret Admirer

Self-care ideas for January! ❄️

[Gretchen Thomas @Glthomas22]

This one had me laughing right away!

[Help A Teacher @HelpATeacher]

Sounds about right! 💯

[Gretchen Thomas @Glthomas22]

Couldn’t agree more! We need to make sure all early learning is about the fun, excitement, and joy of learning.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.

[Gretchen Thomas @Glthomas22]

@murksmusings @AndersonsBkshp It was a joy to their enjoyment sharing with each other as much as sharing with the audience.
