Being excited about the Bengals going to the Super Bowl might be the first thing all Ohioans agree upon since knowing that Ohio, not North Carolina, gets credit for the Wright Brothers.

Challenging my kids to think differently this week. AP Psych is a discussion of language and cognition. Huge and important in today's landscape. And so far, they seem incredibly receptive.

Weird things in my class: Student said that are bones are gross and she wants to be able to take them out and wash them. Y'all - what do you say to that?

Discussing Miranda v Arizona S: Did they ever figure out who killed Miranda in the bar fight? M: No, a bunch of drunk people at a bar aren't reliable witnesses. S: What about the cameras? M: It was 1976 - they didn't have cameras. S: What about security? M: Locks? Bouncers?

Laryngitis and a computer update in the middle of my squeaky teaching. How was your day?

This. All of thjs

In AP Psych the other day my kids got into a discussion about: 1) how do we know dinosaurs weren't smart? 2) if fish have heads

I'm exhausted. We all are. We need to use our voices and persuade everyone we know to do the same.

One of the best ways to take really good care of students is to take really good care of educators, so they can take really good care of students.

A good day of teaching has laughter. A great day of teaching has laughter while engaging with content. The BEST day of teaching is laughing with content and hearing that the students talked about the class all day. ❤❤❤

Being a teacher-mom is hard y'all. I try to give my best to both. Not sure I succeed but I keep trying.

Try these small acts of self respect for 30 days and you'll start 2023 with a completely different mentality. A THREAD 🧵

Best thing I do for my timed AP tests: I put an online classroom timer on the board. Sometimes I let the kids pick the race (it's snowmen today per their choice). I leave the sound on at the beginning. We all giggle at the start and the kids relax. S/o to Ben Gibson for the idea

Y'all - a student brought a quill to my AP US Gov Class today. And took notes with it the entire class. Where do you go from there?

Me: I'm glad my students feel like they have a safe space and can be themselves in my room. Also me: Why do I make my room a safe space where they can be themselves? 😂

During this specific election cycle, please be mindful about how fertility services and abortion are discussed. 1st you know someone who has experienced these. 2nd the two frequently connect together when fertility procedures fail.

Teacher friends, I don't know how to do this today. 💔

I can no longer stay on thus platform. I'm currently shifting to BlueSky. My handle will still be @ SalyersTeach. Wishing you all the best
