My #teacherthoughts as I worked in my classroom today for free.

Academics need to normalize admitting we aren't experts on subjects we are not actively studying.

Knowledgeable? Yes.

But if you stopped reading critical work on a subject the last time you worked on a project... you're no longer an expert.

Rest is doing something. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #teacherthoughts

This is actually really fascinating because so many times we differentiate down but what if start differentiating in a way that builds ability, confidence, and rigor? #teacherthoughts #readingscaffolds
New paper: Repeated reading is a great way to scaffold at- or above-grade level text for below-grade level readers. ##education##teachersoftiktok##eduleadership##principalsoftiktok##reading

Good morning & happy Monday folks!
Just at that point in the summer holidays on the cusp of my body and mind being totally relaxed and stress free for first time since last summer & the beginnings of going back to school anxiety. Oh well only 5 more years to go😂 #teacherthoughts

Up early again, because my cats don’t understand how weekend’s work . But I’m going to enjoy this 3 day weekend before the last week of school!#TeacherThoughts

Kids need love. They need respect. But in order to do those two things, they also need to be held accountable for their actions. #teacherthoughts

For someone who really does not like people telling me how to teach, I absolutely love learning about how everyone else chooses to teach. Thanks everyone else.

Even in the summer, I get ideas for September lessons… does anyone else’s brain refuse to switch off?

Absolutely despairing at the wholesale dismantling of the arts from the state school curriculum after a wonderful talk by @michaelsheen.bsky.social tonight on the chances he had when young. Trying to work out a way forward. This can't go on. #stateed #teacherthoughts #fundtheartsnow

And we have another 2 hour fog delay today. I love these 35 minute periods, especially towards the end of the week! #TeacherThoughts

My thought for the day; seating plans need to be set by the teacher. Students will choose to sit with their mates and in most cases, this results in less productivity. #teacherthoughts

The first day back to school from vacation wasn’t too bad. As the late great Hank Steam would say, “I’m just matriculating down the week.” Though, I would say we’re only at our own 30 yard line at present. #TeacherThoughts

So much of teaching and lesson planning involves clicking on links, shifting course content, and adjusting deadlines. If feels like, at least today, that makes up about 50% of the job.

Teenagers piss and moan about wearing school uniform, but every single one of them MUST have this bag.

This quote by Mother Teresa hits home: “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” We all have something unique to offer. The real power is in what we can do together.

Nothing says Sunday scaries like walking into a store and seeing back to school stuff in every other aisle. Wasn’t ready. Still not ready. Might buy a cute planner or some flair pens though.

If it snowed enough overnight and then froze so school was cancelled tomorrow, I wouldn’t be mad. I would be so very very glad, in fact. #TeacherThoughts

Over the years, planning my lessons has become less about what things I will tell and more about what questions I will ask. #teacherthoughts

For every #GAT class that gets extra funding, there should be a #DLS class that gets extra funding. We have fewer gifted and talented students than we have difficult little shits.

Today is the last day of the school year with students. I’m finishing up my 26th year of teaching. It really goes by fast! #TeacherThoughts

10 more school days and we’ll head into #WinterBreak. Or as I like to remind my students, “7 more school days and a final is all that remains of 1st semester. #TeacherThoughts

Today is the last regular day of 1st semester. We have finals W-F. I'm going to remind students to work on late work today. I hope the students who need to take care of business step up to the plate and knock out those late assignments. #TeacherThoughts 🙍🏾
