Honored today to join the literacy team at Boca High to teach 10th grade Intensive Reading. Thrilled to work where my boys attend... the best school north of the South Pole! Go Bobcats!

Congratulations to Principal King and all of the dedicated educators at Sebastian Middle for raising the school grade to a 🅱️ for the 2017-2018 school year! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for students in this newly certified STEAM program of inquiry! @SMSeagles16

[Jay Barbour @JayCBarbour]

Excited and proud to share that after a two year process the UF Lastinger Center STEM Review Committee has designated Sebastian Middle a STEM Certified School. Thank you to the amazing educators at SMS for your dedication to transforming @SMSeagles16 into a school of inquiry!

Agreed. The solution? Add $1 to every sports ticket sold to go directly to the education budget. Boom! 🤨 https://t.co/YhnLVmp40U

It takes most Florida teachers about 20 years to get 52k - As a state we rank nearly dead last in education spending.... support our kids and dedicated teachers!

Ms. Mathis and Mr. Knolhoff have combined their classes for FSA stations rotations: Read It, Watch It, Organize It, Write It, Assess it! Test prep can be engaging! @SMSeagles16

Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Lydigsen collaborated with Media Specialist Ms. Alfiero to create Civics EoC review stations: EyeKnow, Who Am I, Go Fish, Headbands, and even Jenga with questions written on the pieces! Test prep can be fun! @SMSeagles16

Excited to collaboratively partner with members of our School Advisory Committee during our faculty meeting today to develop “elevator speeches” about why students should attend SMS. STEAM, personalization, and caring teachers were the top reasons. @SMSeagles16 #STEM #STEAM

Today we toured Gettysburg Civil War battlefields & viewed the Battle Cyclorama - largest oil painting in North America, painted 130 years ago! Lunch @ a 242 year old tavern - a stop on Underground Railroad. Then on to an Amish farm, a 1 room schoolhouse, & dinner. @SMSeagles16

How to stop the teacher shortage:
1. Bring it up in the news constantly as a problem instead of ignoring it.
2. Promote the profession.
3. Stop bashing the profession.
4. Respect teachers.
5. Pay teachers as much as other professions with the same education level.
