I was the master scheduler for years at my different schools. This is an area where AI can really be a benefit. There will be so much time saved by not having to “hand schedule” so many students. IYKYK. Is anyone using an AI program to do that now?

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student. The students have changed. Teaching has changed. You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

A mentor once told me this: Most of your anxiety is self-inflicted. You're anxious because you're avoiding something you know you need to do. The real work. The decision. The hard conversation. Do the thing. Watch your anxiety disappear.

There are two types of people in the world: Those who get bitter and emotional as soon as they don't get what they want from life, and those who choose to get better and reinvent themselves until they get what they want.

every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving). that’s neuroplasticity in real time.

@its_abigail I'm a theatre teacher. The work I do for plays and musicals runs about 90 hours minimum in rehearsal time. That doesn't count all the prep work I do - much of it in summer. I make almost 50% less directing a show than many assistant coaches do in their work.

PE teachers who ignore every school rule and let half the class play on their phones while ten boys play basketball get paid more than me simply because of seniority and the fact that they coach a sport more popular and revenue-generating than mine.

The teacher working like crazy all day and on weekends is getting the same pay as the teacher who sits all day behind his desk and has his students on their Chromebooks.

@educator4ever36 I always have multiple preps. But I also teach only electives, so I expect it. My thinking is the greater number of preps for me balances the greater number of papers, essays, and tests that "core" teachers do.

This completely annoys me and is a direct result of the failure of the master scheduler. I loved scheduling and taught many how to do it. There is zero reason for a secondary teacher to have more than two preps and if the Principal can’t make it happen, they need more scheduling training.

@educator4ever36 The teacher with 4 preps gets paid the same as the teacher doing English 1 all day.

The number of pushups won’t matter until you change how you see yourself. If you see yourself as a lazy person, you’ll always quit. If you start to change who you are, and become someone who trains and doesn’t give up, that’s what matters. Identity change requires action. It’s the proof for your mind that you are someone different than it thinks right now. So start small. Prove to yourself that you’re someone who does 10 pushups and 10 squats right when you wake up every day. You can grow from there, but first we have to change who you think you are.

@Schwarzenegger How many pushups a day for a lazy person

You can never convince someone who doesn’t want to work hard, to work hard. Choose your partners, team, friends wisely.

@HighUniversal @QrispyCoasters @UniStudios And if they don't, they will after hearing about it on the tour. Plus, the Universal monsters hold a much stronger place in our cultural history than The Good Place...

I wish they would focus less on The Good Place and just go all in on highlighting Universal Monsters while driving through Little Europe! These sets are so historic and they spend the majority of the time there talking about a mid-2010s sitcom?? @UniStudios

@Doug_Lemov Yet, we teach a generation that is rarely told "no". That takes some maneuvering. Perhaps more "guiding" than "telling" them what they should do. When I was 16, I didn't listen to anyone who "told", but I did pay attention to those doing the right thing.

Recently met a school leader. I suggested consistent procedures & clear directions so expectations were not ambiguous. He said: “I’m just not sure it’s the job of adults to be telling young people what to do.” If that’s you, there’s a good chance you have the wrong job.
