Had a mental breakdown… I’m working so hard to help my students but I always feeling like I’m failing my kids. This morning I had a panic attack causing me to take off… after 16 years of teaching I just don’t see how this way of working is sustainable #teacher #teacherlife

I’m sitting at my desk… exhausted and mentally drained. I’ve have loved teaching over the last 16 years and I do love my current students… I’m just tired. Not like a sleepy tired but a tired that has struck the core of who I am… #teacher #teacherlife

Idk why but I just can’t just make teaching easy for myself. I’m always trying to research and find better ways of teaching, spending hours of time just trying to figure out the most effective way to teach and make things engaging. Anyone else like this? #teaching #teacherlife

I took my daughter ice skating with her Girl Scout troop. You could see all the dads who grew up on the Mighty Ducks and Rollerblade killing it on the ice #MondayVibes

As a 6th grade history teacher I find that I am spending more time teaching the students skills they should already know vs the actual content and curriculum. Anyone else having this problem? #teacher #teacherlife

How do other #teachers feel about skills based focus or a standard based focus? I seem to have more and more kids who lack basic skills in reading and writing, I feel that a skills based approach would be better but I don’t know enough to really see the full picture #Teacher

Not sure that this is a hot take from a middle school teacher but Schools don’t actually have a phone problem… We have a consistency problem. Some teachers allow them Some don’t Some gave up So kids just play the system. Until schools get on the same page, nothing changes.

Still grappling with how I’m grading so I’ll ask Be honest… As a parent would you rather see: A) An A on the report card B) A grade that actually reflects learning

I really think one of the biggest problems in #education right now is that nobody seems clear on the goal. If the goal is truly to help kids, then why does school so often feel rushed, joyless, and disconnected from what makes learning meaningful?

Serious question I’m trying to make a good #YouTube thumbnail and need help deciding. Which one is better or are they both .. meh… or some critical feedback would be helpful. #teacherlife #YouTubeCreators

My students have been struggling with reasoning this year and after all of the trials and errors I think this simple idea has changed things I started using the words “Surface level answers” and “Deeper level answers”. I think students started to understand what I meant.

I have 3 bachelor’s degrees, a master’s, passed multiple Praxis exams, and 16 years of classroom experience. But somehow teaching is still one of the few professions where people with zero training will tell you how your job should be done. Education should be run by Educators!
