What’s good for adult readers is good for kid readers. If you get free choice of books, so should kids. If you read books you like, so should kids. If you abandon books because they’re too hard or uninteresting, so should kids. If you avoid too hard books, so should kids.

I made some adjustments to a graphic, because compliance shouldn't be the goal. Honoring students' innate geniuses should be our focus. #traumainformed #traumaresponsive #traumaaware #DisruptersUnite #actnotaccept – at Nashville, TN

I cannot wait to add my picture to this thread. Just the inspiration I need as I’m working on my dissertation.
Are you a woman with a doctorate? No matter your discipline, drop a picture here to show that we are here, we exist, and we won't drop our title for any mediocre man's comfort.

Each state should excuse ALL Standardized Testing for the 2020-21 academic year. Schools have enough to worry about the next 10 months. #EdChat

There better not be a single school or administrator that chooses to reopen during this pandemic, talking to their staff about “data-driven instruction.” – at Chicago, IL

This year, I’m moving from the classroom to a district position. All of my back-to-school nightmares involve me having to teach virtually. And doesn’t that say so much about how my spring virtual teaching COVID experience felt.

Sometimes I need to remind myself I have zero, nada, no control over what kids do & say. That said, I always control how I respond to what they do & say. I also need to remind myself this is not easy & it is ok to apologize. #thatonekid

My 8th grade triplets are trying to figure out how much they can charge others by selling their completed online work. I was proud of them for their entrepreneurial skills until one said they would only charge 5 cents a question. #youcandobetter

Admin, listen to teachers who challenge the process. Not ones who just complain but those who feel like something isn’t right or needs addressed. Especially now. Teachers are professionals who are highly invested & desire for the best ideas/ methods to be used. They care!

Teachers plates can take no more. They currently have five jobs. Teacher, curriculum developer, IT for students, therapist for parents struggling, & office worker. All while trying to survive the pandemic w/ their family too. Let’s all give teachers grace & support right now.

Doctorate work for classes 11 & 12 @UF_COE are now done. I could not be more relieved.

All of my dreams now involve me being in a Zoom meeting. Please make it stop.

It is easy to tell people to #stayhome when you have a nice, loving home.

Why can’t I be the kind of person that experiences stress and stops eating while taking frequent naps?

I don’t cry. But today, I got teary-eyed so many times. This squirrel lives at my local bar & grill. He eats fries and chicken wings. I’ve been worried about him. But they opened back up for take-out and I saw him. He’s ok. I can’t believe the investment I have in this squirrel.

Has anybody checked on the copy machines at their school? I’m uncertain about a lot of things, but I am absolutely certain that they are currently jammed or need paper or toner. – at Weehawken, NJ

Wow! I know this is a drop in the bucket but way to go for a district to actually acknowledge what their teachers are doing and from where.
