The wait is over.... I AM OFFICIALLY an ISTE Certified Educator! This process has allowed me to really deepen and reflect on my teaching practices. I am excited to join this community of almost 2K educators worldwide. #ISTECert @isteofficial @atilamrac

Notre Dame is different ☘️ As seen on @FirstTake our 2024 home jerseys are officially official #GoIrish☘️

#GrowingInGCS | Pre-K students from Oak View Elementary participated in a family gingerbread house project. The kits for this project were graciously donated by a prior Pre-K parent at Oak View! 🏠

If you want to quickly try the brand new @Quizizz question type from the student side, I made a 1-question quiz inspired by classic "Tupac or Shakespeare" challenge. 🎶 📝 Play here: quizizz.com/join?gc=800140… Good luck! 😃 #edtech #teachertwitter #edchat #teachersoftwitter #teachers #teacher #youcanwithquizizz #quizizz

The amount of teachers who say ‘if I could just have X% less teaching contact time and more free periods than I do now, I would LOVE my job, but as it is, I can barely stay afloat’ is staggering. Significantly more PPA/free time would absolutely be the game changer the profession needs.

@DrCarlaNeal Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy 11th Birthday 🎉 We spent the weekend doing all his favorite things! No worries, if you know Beckett, you know the shark was happily released back into his home 🌊 🦈 #futurescientist

We interviewed a teacher who resigned last year. Part of it👇 Why did you resign? “I have a Master’s degree. I work really hard. I love teaching kids and am great at my job. I do it all for a disgracefully low salary. All of that and I’ve never felt so disrespected by so many.”

I appreciate administrators who don't forget what it was like being a teacher, but I also appreciate teachers who don't forget what it was like being a student. Never forget.

We hire teachers based on their strengths, but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new school year and watch them do amazing things!

@SynthiaSalomon Yay, but real ones because they purify the air 🪴

Classroom plants yay or nay

@ChathamCoSch Thank you. Yes, I was able to do that. I was just trying to go from one drive to another (changing owner of folder or using takeout).

@sdavis41011 Have you thought about trying a USB flash drive, and downloading all the docs you want to save? Looking at your drive usage, a 16 Gb or larger drive will hold all your stuff.

@LostInEdTech @ISTEofficial @atilamrac I also took many screenshots to provide evidence and made sure to explain why I was using the screenshot in my artifact. What may be obvious to us because we taught the lesson, may not be obvious to the evaluators. Also, make sure they can see what is happening in the picture.

@sdavis41011 @ISTEofficial @atilamrac Congratulations! I’m going through the process right now. Any tips would be appreciated! 😊

@LostInEdTech @ISTEofficial @atilamrac Something that really helped me was looking at each of the criteria & organizing them into artifact groupings. For example, I knew for 1 artifact I could group criteria 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 17. For another artifact I could group 13, 19, 22, 24 & 25. Seems trivial but helped.

Thank you @tschneider146 @DrCarlaNeal @MollyUpchurch @ebliterate @outofrenewals for all of your support during this process. 🖤
