Mrs. Purdu, Downriver’s Teacher of the Month from Wilson Middle School in Wyandotte.

I interrupted her 4th hour broadcasting class. Her students were so excited for her.

These kids are truly magnificent and I’m so proud of their willingness to stand up and speak out I can hardly stand it.

@galileoleads212 We are beyond thankful for our three year experience with Galileo and that Wyandotte was able to bring Charles for our PD. Feeling gratitude to lead where we stand. @Mrs_McDowell3

Beautiful words - moved to tears ❤️

Isaiah Marquez-Greene, now 18 years old, survived the Sandy Hook shooting, but his younger sister, Ana Grace, was killed.

In a note to his younger self, he reflects on his sister’s legacy: “Imagining who she would be if she were still here will keep her alive in your heart.”

Louder for the people in the back.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.

[Mrs. Purdu @waters_jenna]

@LisaGillingAB Sendin you love in the hardest of times.

[Mrs. Purdu @waters_jenna]

This mindset was how I was able to make it. Knowing that education was my true lead out of struggles and challenges in my life. Beyond thankful for education and learning.

[Mrs. Purdu @waters_jenna]

Stress is an understatement at times. It’s like a constant state of sheer exhaustion. I’m beyond thankful for the team I work with and that we are in this together- not alone.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

OK, I have had so many teachers message me that they are already burned out. So, I am going to give away (2) $50.00 gift cards (paypal) on Friday that can be used for massage, dinner, or whatever will help you refill your cup. Just retweet & let me know you're stressed out!

[Mrs. Purdu @waters_jenna]

What!?!?

New TikTok video: I wish I was taught this way of finding the GCF when I was in school

[Mrs. Purdu @waters_jenna]

Lately feeling this more often than not.

You can be a really good teacher and have strong behaviour management but still be struggling with behaviour in your class, don’t be too proud to ask for help.

Can you Guess Who?
Loved hearing the elimination process students would go through to figure out our mentor athlete for the school year. Hoping to fire my kids up this year with Classroom Champions! #bettergetsbetter @ClassroomChamps

“Teens are struggling for a host of reasons. But science shows their outlooks will brighten and their stress will subside if they get more slumber. Sleep should be a priority as we seek to turn the tide of the mental health crisis.” ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ https://t.co/c3St7Ii4zJ
