Teach half as many classes and mentor all the new teachers at my school.

Head up a Teaching Fellowship where I still teach ~halftime at my school but also coordinate grad students who also teach ~halftime at local schools. Also, I get paid for mentoring them and they get free grad school + pay for what they teach.

When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place — here are 56 of them 🧵

Reminder #8: Since I’ll be posting results for 38 different AP subjects, it’s a good time to remind everyone that students do not need to take large numbers of APs. Our research shows that students often maximize AP’s benefits by taking 1-2 AP courses per year in grades 10-12.
