When teachers use humor, students feel better about the content, the teacher, and even themselves. Using self-directed humor, funny headlines/quotes, movie clips or other media, and creating a class symbol for humor are all time-tested and dependable sources for humor.

Thought for the day: No educator went into the teaching profession to be average. Those that have succumb to average have simply lost their way. What can we begin doing today to inspire them back to greatness?...via #Culturize

Think about ending conversations when dealing w/student discipline issues w/these two questions...

Do you think I treated you fairly?

Do you think I care about you?

Trauma in students' lives takes an emotional and physical toll on teachers as well. Experts weigh in on the best ways to cope. https://t.co/nY30sgYjiA

[Kyra Parrow 🦋 @longlivekcx]

despite having our hearts ripped out of our chests. Despite losing our friends and coaches. Despite living through a nightmare. As students of Douglas, we are the voice of this generation. And I’ll be damned if anyone thinks they can silence us.

After wrapping up our #RAKweek2018, this is my fav quote about spreading kindness! #LeadLAP

[Tara M Martin @TaraMartinEDU]

A3 The rings I hope to leave as a leader are the same I hope to leave as a human—
Be R.E.A.L. in everything I do and empower those I serve to do the same.
R- Relatable
E- Expose Vulnerability
A- Always Approachable
L- Learning Through Life

Staying true. REAL.

@ktabke @RepJasonLewis @amyklobuchar @SenTinaSmith @BobLoonan @EricPrattMN Katy- I’m originally from Shakopee. Your tweet inspired me to write my own. Thank you for all you do for children and families. We will win this.

8/We are done watching you dither and hem and pray. Our children are not your martyrs. They are our future. And those who love kids are going to fight hard for them. Harder than ever. #StopGunViolence

[Dawn Harrison Butler @LearnerDawn]

Teachers love their students like their own children. They are done watching those beautiful souls die. They are done watching their colleagues die. And they do NOT want to carry. @nra owned Congress, pack your bags. Parents and teachers are coming for you.

6/Newtown was when I believed the tide would turn, and still nothing. I can’t believe we just don’t value the lives of our children in this country. Well, I value my family’s lives first and foremost. And I value the lives of all children.

[Dawn Harrison Butler @LearnerDawn]

5/My kids are 7 and 4. Husband is a middle school teacher. They could have been at any of the school shootings- all age groups have had them. I’m done with inaction and I need to stand up for my family. #StopGunViolence

[Dawn Harrison Butler @LearnerDawn]

4/Now I’m the parent of 2 and partner to a teacher. The idea that I could lose all 3 of them at once because we don’t have systems in place to protect kids and faculty in schools is abhorrent.

[Dawn Harrison Butler @LearnerDawn]

3/I never considered carrying a gun in school. I was a teacher who was usually in motion and all over the room. I couldn’t depend on a gun being 100% safe around kids. Putting that resp on teachers is horrible. #StopGunViolence
