One step in the right direction today. Who knows where that momentum might take you. jeremyajorgensen.com/persistence/ #teacherlife

Here's a midweek boost for my teacher friends. We all know about the gap. Still hard to navigate it. jeremyajorgensen.com/the-provocatio…

Teacher Spring Break Soundtrack. It was a great trip. #teacherlife

The lesson plan you stayed up until midnight perfecting teaches about as well as the one that was 80% ready. Here’s what perfectionism is actually costing you. jeremyajorgensen.com/the-80-lesson-…

Starting tomorrow, this newsletter goes somewhere different. Four weeks. One philosopher. One arc. Epictetus. The Art of Living. And four ideas that hit teachers harder than they should. Sign up at jeremyajorgensen.com/newsletter/ — first one lands tomorrow.

@MsInnerfield Same here.

@WhyEdifyGuy A very important reminder. It took me years to realize this for myself (and I still sometimes need a refresher).

You have permission to rest. Not productive rest. Not "catch up on grading" rest. Not "reorganize my classroom so I feel ready for Q4" rest. Rest. This week's newsletter: jeremyajorgensen.com/the-spring-bre…

It’s okay to stop every once and awhile. Just don’t sit still for too long. #teacherlife #ruck

If rest is something you earn after the work is finished, you will never rest. The work is never done. That’s the trap. Rest isn’t the reward. It’s the practice.

@kcollazo Thanks for sharing Kim. I love this quote too!

I love the quote @WhyEdifyGuy used in his newsletter about REAL rest. Check out his whole post, especially if you’re an educator! ⛅️🌳 jeremyajorgensen.com/the-spring-bre…

Great time resting and recharging with my family and friends over Spring Break. #teacherlife #whyedify

Have a great day Teacher friends. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is to keep moving forward. jeremyajorgensen.com/persistence/

Celebration is an active state.

Hello Teacher Friends. Here's a little midweek boost. It's okay to recalibrate. jeremyajorgensen.com/why-you-starte…

The version of “why” that got you into teaching might not be the version that keeps you here. That’s not a crisis. That’s just honest. Wednesday’s newsletter is about what still lights you up.

Pushing through isn't strength; it's just expensive. Energy is limited, and pushing harder won't change the unchangeable. Instead, focus on what truly matters. #WhyEdifyPodcast #teachertwitter #edchat

Most people get this backwards: You can be stubborn all you want, but without a purpose, you're just spinning your wheels. Persistence is only valuable when it’s directed at something meaningful. #teacherlife #WhyEdifyPodcast #EduSky

Pushing through and persistence aren't the same thing. One just keeps you surviving. The other keeps you alive in the job. The difference? Knowing what you're actually moving toward. New episode is up. #teachertwitter #educhat

Before spring break, pick ONE thing worth counting toward that happens first. Put it on the board. Give students a small say in it. You're not fighting spring break. Just giving their brains a closer target.

Spring break is 3 weeks out and your classroom already feels like a waiting room. Here's what's actually happening — and the one shift that changes it: jeremyajorgensen.com/how-to-keep-st…

Your students aren't checked out before spring break because you're failing them. They're checked out because that's what brains do when a reward is close. Anticipation hijacks attention. That's neuroscience.
