There should be a teacher on every school board…
and at every table where education decisions are made.
Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms
without the people who actually live in them.
You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors.
You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots.
But in education…
we leave teachers out of the room

I go back to school in 1 wk & it’s got me reflecting on what works and what doesn’t… Teachers, share your wishlist and how you stay organized in the classroom. I’ll go first… Post it note lists. If it’s not on a list, my brain is forgetting it. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/27…

The number of instructional days that are permanently lost due to field trips, college fairs, sporting events, etc is way too high. Extracurricular activities that encroach on the academic calendar and bell schedule are no longer extracurricular. It turns school into summer camp.

PSA: 📣
We should spend more time and energy retaining teachers than on recruiting teachers.

The biggest lie in education is that it’s possible for teachers to differentiate instruction to a classroom full of kids.
