This is something that is not explicitly taught but should be. It is, unfortunately, a major factor, not intelligence, in determining success.

Teachers don't just impart knowledge, they shape lives. Their patience, passion and creativity unlock each child's potential. An inspiring teacher can instill a lifelong love of learning. Support our teachers so they can fully support every student. #SupportTeachers

Veteran teachers have many years of invaluable classroom experience that can empower them as teacher leaders. Their wisdom guides new teachers and strengthens schools. Honor veteran teachers by encouraging their leadership.

Trying to juggle too many tasks at once is like attempting to carry a stack of delicate china without a tray. It might seem manageable for a short while, the moment your attention wavers or your grip falters, everything can come crashing down, leaving you with broken pieces.

With new tech apps or new education initiatives....you may not need the new thing that is only good for one thing...if you are creative and look around, you might find you already have what you need... without spending additional money...

As a former XC coach, I recognized that schools with hills to train on did better overall... because hills make you faster and stronger. So, in life, if you're given hills, be thankful... because you will be transformed after you get to the top.

I AM OFFICIALLY an ISTE Certified Educator! This process has allowed me reflect on my current practice and build competencies to share with my educational community. I am excited to join this community of almost 2K educators worldwide. #ISTECert ISTE Carmalita Seitz

Working with 2 graders, I realized you do not need a device management software for them. They are walking surveillance units. Put one or two of them on duty and you will know what everyone is doing on their devices in real time 🤣

Does anyone know of another alternative to video recording programs like Bongo or GoReact? They are recording, and/or video uploading, tools that allow the viewers to give collaborative timestamped feedback among other things.

The deeper you can build meaningful understandings in your students. The more connections and transfers they can make to new knowledge encounters.

"...teacher effectiveness improves with experience... teachers who do not stay long enough to become effective undermine student learning overall...high rates of teacher turnover negatively impact student learning..." Emergency hire or not, it's a problem forbes.com/sites/lindadar…

Are scripted curriculums worth the cost to the taxpayers? -Minor proficiency gains -Major decline in advanced level students Could the same results have occurred for less cost to taxpayers if leadership used their expertise to design a curriculum tailored to their population?

Public education is still unprepared for major disruptions (covid and AI examples)... Students are graduating with fewer prospects and less ability to pivot. Serious introspection is needed... and fast.

This article is an example how school districts can succeed when they invest in their greatest resource — teachers — instead of relying on prepackaged curricula and strategies. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…
