@HeatherUltsch @pgliljedahl 4th grade at Poca is 100% on board and talk about this book to anyone who will listen!!❤️

@usedgov @FAFSA Nope! So false! I have worked as a teacher in Title 1 schools for 18 years, but because my loans are not “direct consolidation” loans through the federal govt I’m out of luck.

If you work as a: 🧑‍🏫 Teacher 🧑‍🚒 First responder 🧑‍⚖️ Government employee You can qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Use @FAFSA's #PSLF Help Tool to apply: ➡️ studentaid.gov/pslf

@DrBradJohnson In VA, our DOE has added fall and mid-year assessments to the elementary testing schedule; but neither can be used as accurate, comparative data to the EOY test bc each one has a completely different scale and question set. Nothing like comparing apples to oranges to bananas! SMH

Standardized testing, especially in elementary level is not only a massive waste of time and money, but has little to no impact on student learning.

Thursday was a fantastic day in 4th grade where students were challenged to design and build a lunar module that could land safely and keep their astronauts on board without any restraints. #STEM @Poca_ES @pcpsstem @SandyMorin73

@powhatanms Congratulations Owen!

Colin Murray and Owen D’Ambrosio at all district band! Awesome job representing PMS!

What a special visit today from Mrs. Shepperson and Gabby the Great Horned Owl! Our 4th graders loved every minute🥰 ⁦@Poca_ES⁩

NEW RULE: A parent may propose removing a book from a school library ONLY after reading it in its entirety — and delivering a book report on it that has been evaluated and corrected by the head of the school’s English department. Who agrees!?

@iTeach2Motivate @amazonwishlist @FOX26Houston @KHOU Thank you for supporting teachers! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Good morning, good morning, good morning my teacher friends we’re at it again today RT, RT, RT sponsor, support, sprinkle a little bit, and even clear some lists. The givers are still making things happen. @amazonwishlist @FOX26Houston @KHOU #teacherwishlist #SupportIsEverything

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications. There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications. There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications. If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

@mrscmwhite Unfortunately my biggest wish is also my most expensive- I would love to get rolling whiteboards to fully implement a Thinking Classroom (thank you @PeterLiljedahl for the inspiration!) amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

TEACHERS🍎 what’s your most needed item on your #amazonwishlist ? I’m needing book boxes so the kids can keep their reading folders in my class instead of taking it to their rotations. Retweet and drop your lists so we can #clearthelist 🍎💕📚 #TEACHers amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

@travisakers Thank you to anyone who is willing to help teachers!!! We are so grateful to you!

@robertkaplinsky Sadly it’s status quo

So many schools have an unprecedented level of open positions right now because of systemic issues (low pay, low support, etc.) that they're struggling to fill. Have you seen any schools make dramatic changes to improve? Or are they changing nothing and hoping they'll be fine?

@NicholasFerroni I follow you and appreciate how you stand up for educators!

If you are an educator or administrator who follows me, please REPLY to this so I can follow you back. Educators supporting educators🍎❤️

The last week of school included blowing bubbles in the classroom (as we learned about measuring the diameter of circles), celebrating the end of the novel Holes w/art and food fun, Field Day, and hot wheels. It was a great way to end the year! @Poca_ES

Today was all about roller coasters (thank you @MysterySci!)… and what better way to wrap it up than with hot wheels tracks! @Poca_ES

@MathcoachRVA You will be missed!!!❤️ Your new school is very lucky to have you.

I'm so so excited to start my next adventure at Quinton Elementary next school year as math specialist!

Last day with our chicks = lots of snuggles! 🐥 @Poca_ES @pcpsstem

@johnrich Can you write a hit song that doesn’t come from a personal place? And do you think you would even have a hit song if your listeners didn’t share that experience or relate in some way? You are more successful when you make connections with your audience. SAME.

If a teacher is doing their job correctly, you should never know about their politics, details of their personal life or cultural stances. #JustTeach
