Hi, #teachersoftwitter & #langchat, does your school participate in the Seal of Biliteracy? I have questions about offering testing for the first time!

Me and my high school English teacher just now - with an 18-year-old inside joke. Tell a teacher you appreciate them!

Students: You got plans this weekend, señora? Me:

Our "why" is the only thing keeping some of us in the profession; don't act like we don't know why we keep showing up.

Do your work, Kelly and Haley!

Central Admin: “Teachers, forming positive relationships with students is one of the biggest factors in increasing student achievement.” Also Central Admin “We are raising the class size limit to 38.” Stop the hypocrisy. Also, the money is there! #EdChat #EduTwitter

I know it's Monday, but I got a bad case of the Sundays just thinking about going back to the classroom tomorrow 😬 excited to see my students; less excited about the paperwork/stress of the end of the semester

Rural America has tons of people who share progressive working class values. What could happen if we organized with them instead of writing them off?

I gave an assessment from Huellas 2.1 while I was out yesterday and this is the first thing I saw on my desk today. I am dying laughing 😂 Señor Wooly Carrie Toth (Tō-th), NBCT
