It’s a wonderful day to defend my dissertation! Happy to be finishEDD.

[Stephanie GK, Ed.D. @smigglezz]

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

@alexbrouhardEDU The history of the English language! Students are surprised that Elizabethan English is actually Early Modern English and they are very interested in reading samples of texts actually written in Old English and Middle English.

So apparently, there’s a lot a person can accomplish once one’s wedding has passed and the wedding planning stage is officially over, like knocking out two chapters of one’s dissertation in four days.

Middle school teacher here. Each year I create a painting for each graduating 8th grader. Showed the #DavidSPumpkins Halloween special last year and had two students who became huge fans, so here are their paintings. Hope I made you proud, @nbcsnl @tomhanks!

@chendw To his current location. Either his or mine! :)

When life happens, it happens all at once. After years of relative stagnancy, 2023 will consist of finishing my Ed.D. and getting married (a close race between these two regarding which will happen first), with a 50% possibility of moving out of state!

…and, if they can spell “pterodactyl”(or pronounce it correctly, for that matter), even better!

…and this is why my classroom has as many random things as it does: I keep every gift!

Important! 🧡

Why are we lowering the standards for becoming a teacher to address teacher shortages rather than addressing the issues causing the problems?

Educators, If you really want to impact your students this year and get the best out of them, just make them all feel valued and feel like they BELONG.

I passed my written and oral qualifying exams and am officially a doctoral candidate!

You are not always going to reach every student. It’s ok! I think teachers are often perfectionists & not reaching a student weighs heavily on us. However, if you keep trying your best then you are doing enough. #edchat #thatonekid

Be respectful to kids even if they are disrespectful back. Be kind to kids even if they are unkind back. Smile at kids even if they don’t smile back. Say good morning to kids even if they don’t say it back. Add yours 👇.

Today the remaining work of my PhD feels overwhelming.
Just gotta remember I only have to get through one day at a time.
The days will add up to something extraordinary.
Your days will too ❤
