What an educator taking a break looks like:

That’s exactly right. Keep@them like talismans for hard times!

You may not have a Teacher of the Year Award to hang on your wall, but the handwritten notes & drawings from your students that are tucked in your desk drawer are the real trophies that motivate and inspire you through the tough times!

I can’t overstate how special the 7th grade class @Gresham Middle has been this year. Even on their way out of my room, they took time to write messages of love (and silliness) on my board for no reason other than they are incredibly kind, creative, and empathetic kids. Thankful!

[Knox County Schools @KnoxSchools]

Yessssss! What an amazing achievement, we’re SO PROUD of the Roadrunners!!

This is an important read for many of us educators right now as we take a beat to reflect on what worked and carried us through and what just did not serve us or, more importantly, our students. #connectionsovercurriculum https://t.co/Cze1pzMGRy

I love this. I want them to be kind, and I want them to be readers and writers. This is not only done by deposits of “what to know” in their brains; it’s done by modeling habits and behavior to their hearts ♥️

"The goal of education shouldn't be about what we want students to know.

It should be about what we want students to be."

Talk about point of view! Students are loving getting into character in the Edgar Allen Poe mystery quest in Amplify. If you can get teens to where silly hats, you have buy in. 🪶🕯🗝

#KCSELA Gresham MS ELA visit to MS. BT’s class was inspiring- students engaging in their data and setting personal goals.

[Katie BellnierThomas @ktbellt]

I’m no one special, but I think it’s a shame @SchwinnTeach or @GovBillLee does not step in for a hero moment with @AustinEastHS and excuse these students and staff from the stress of testing given they’ve lost 5 students this year!

[Katie BellnierThomas @ktbellt]

Wow! I am privileged to teach some of these athletes. Congrats! #TakeMeOutToTheBallgame #greshamproud

Big congrats to Gresham 7th grade! Beating Hardin Valley for the middle school championship! Way to go guys! Can’t wait to have you gentlemen as Bobcats!

[Jay Butler, EdS @jaybutler_kcs]

Hey KCS family! Thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers for the @AustinEastHS community (and feeder schools). So many have asked “Jay, what can I do?” Here’s my immediate answer: #ItTakesAVillage #ittakesALLOfus #TogetherWeCan #TogetherWeWill #beepbeep
