You are not qualified to be a teacher because you were once a student. Teaching is an art and a science. It is an actual profession.

@JayWamsted I'm a high school woodshop teacher. I have similar thoughts every day in regard to the words: "wood", "drill", and "wood length".

@flyingmonkey13 Trust us as experts, stop micromanaging. Remember, many of your staff may have double or triple the amount of classroom experience that you have.

Teachers... I've asked this before, however, it was when Covid protocols were still in place. What do you want or need from a principal or administration in order to feel supported and ultimately happy in this profession?

Parents, now is the time to be on guard. We are once again reminding you to be diligent about checking your child's candy throughout the Halloween season. Our biologists have just found THREE invasive bighead carp rolled up and shoved inside an almond joy. We are appalled.

To reduce high teacher attrition, we need to prioritize an environment where teachers are not only valued, supported, and recognized as true professionals but also compensated fairly. Their commitment is the cornerstone of quality education!

An admin’s most important job is to support teachers. Now is the time to check in with your teachers, especially new teachers - and do it frequently. Being a 1st year teacher is hard and high stress levels can creep in quickly. The best question we can ask is, “How can I help?” #multiplyexcellence

Regularity is for bowel movements, not staff meetings. If you don’t have anything important to say, cancel your staff meeting and send an email.

The name of the first PD of the school year for all educators should be… ‘What the hell can we do to make sure you like your job and would make you want to stay?’

If you are leading a PD and wondering what ice breaker to do. Simple don't. Don't do a freaking ice breaker. We're tired. We want to go home.

We need to start teaching today's kids about proper campground etiquette, because somehow the 20s and 30s crowd seemed to have missed a few lessons.

Scientists need to come up with some sort of paint for the roads that is still reflective when it’s dark and wet because I’m just out here guessing where the lanes are.

As a family of 4, two of which are kids, it’s important that we have 40 coffee mugs in our house at all times.

I have yet to see an accurate depiction of a dean of a college or university in a movie or tv show.
