@SP_principal @SedaliaParkES you have such an incredible gift for recognizing & cultivating people's potential. You saw something in me before I knew it was there! You have changed my teacher life ❤️ I will miss you!
@juliebeman August is emotionally and physically draining even when you love what you do and you know this is where you are supposed to be! It gets better ❤️
@ReCre8Education@GiftedTawk You’re right! In this context it’s great! Using that word as a synonym of “get the heck over ____” is where it gets bad. Like the word fidelity. It has a place in Education but when it becomes a district buzz word to hang over t’s … that’s makes it tough
@GiftedTawk PIVOT- while I can appreciate a good friends reference and this need to be able to make it happen- whatever the means for kids- at some point do we forget Teachers are humans too? IF we “Pivot” too much too fast
We are only human and will break
@DonyallD I love how specific & explicit u r w/ the academic vocab! So often I hear t’s using words interchangeably that do not mean the same thing! As t’s we have to be better we need 2 be deliberate in mastering the acd Lang we use 2 teach. Not mindlessly talking at kids
@__itsniaj As an elementary school teacher I am in CONSTANT awe of people who teach K! They are tasked w a child’s first true experience of elementary school… they are charged with teaching how to be in school, how to love school, and all the standards they are READY OR not to do! 😘
Accountability needs to be built into the work that we do.
I’m personally thinking a lot about how we can be actively amplifying the voices of underrepresented students.
What can I be doing to hear and see the brilliance of the black students in the school?

@AdhdBlueprint @Shaggy_Canuck @AskADHD Same! I am an elementary school teacher with ADD and of course have fluorescents in my classroom, so I ended up buying magnetic covers that filter out the irritating parts of those lights. Now I don’t have any issues with them ❤️
The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn't agreeing with someone. It's enjoying your disagreements with them.
Harmony is the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments, not the combination of identical sounds.
Creative tension makes beautiful music.
@adhdteodora@AskADHD So i would definitely recommend standing and shifting your weight...
Or a yoga ball... Or wobble stool have saved my life as a teacher and as a learner... play dough seems silly but it has a saved me on several occasions
