“Our hearts are broken today.” 10 years ago, a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Former Pres. Obama urged the nation to “come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this.” abcn.ws/37dDqOm

I'm watching an old interview with Conan O'Brien and he says he has 14 writers. So it takes fifteen people to create an hour of original content every night. Every teacher you know creates six hours of content every day alone.

Good read. Something has to be done to fill the skilled trades shortages. explorethetrades.org/benefits-of-ch…

Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.

One of the components leading to higher housing prices is the shortage of skilled workers needed to meet the demands. This needs to be fixed. Skilled trades is a good careerfield. You work with your hands and mind to create new things and solve problems. skillpointe.com/news-and-advic….

@MrsLHull2u @colganhs @colgan_sca @teachmissbeach Love you both

This started b/c @colganhs needed 2 folks to advise @colgan_sca no clue what we were doing 😂 7 yrs. later, I stood by @teachmissbeach for her “I do”. Many things come w/ being an educator but this friendship is by far one of the highlights of my almost decade career.

Leaders, please make morale a top priority this fall. Teacher/ staff morale is lowest its ever been.

The same people who only days ago wailed on an endless loop that a gunman targeted Brett Kavanaugh are now cheering on a SCOTUS ruling that will make it exponentially easier for more people to get their hands on guns.

In 2020, 45,000 Americans died from gun-related injuries. We’ve recently seen horrific mass shootings in Buffalo and Texas. The Supreme Court’s response: loosen gun safety laws. Six justices are way out of touch with reality.

The next time someone makes you doubt yourself, remember that Jennifer Hudson, who Simon Cowell famously said didn't have what it takes to make it in entertainment, became the 17th EGOT winner last night.

@NicholasFerroni Hello

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

We are teachers, and we did not sign up for this.

Enough is enough. We must abolish the filibuster and pass gun safety legislation NOW. No one in America needs an AR-15. How many more children, mothers and fathers need to be murdered in cold blood before the Senate has the guts to ban assault weapons and take on the NRA?

So fucking tired of being told not to "politicize" these shootings by the same people who tout their NRA grades in political ads.

@toolkitsforall So cute

Does anyone want a lanyard? Let me know if you are interested in one! #TEACHers #education #clearthelists

AP Exam Tip: When asked to explain a confounding variable, be sure to explain how the variable is connected to the explanatory variable AND how it might influence the response variable. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

@DrBradJohnson Thank you

In case you're having a tough week.

@masontcteched @colganhs @CTE4pwcs They are so lucky to have you.

I end each quarter with three reflection questions. The questions are, What did you learn? What did you like the most? What did you like the least? This @colganhs student made my day with their response to the second question. @CTE4pwcs

@OvermanColganHS @sharks_sign_too Oh they were

4 years ago, the sign language interpreters thought they were funny……@sharks_sign_too
