Is it just me or do teachers not talk enough about their fears and how these fears impact their classroom culture? Would love to hear folks' thoughts!

An early working title for this new piece was "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Classroom Timer." Would love to hear folks' thoughts on it. So grateful to publish with @edutopia again! 🤓⏲️🤣 edutopia.org/article/embraci…

So excited to publish with @ASCD once again! Would love people's thoughts on this piece about the tensions between fear & love in the classroom. Targeted it towards new teachers but have a hunch more experienced educators might be interested in it as well!

It is so humbling trying to have an authoritative teacher presence to start the year when your voice is cracking every other sentence due to the respiratory bug that is going around right now 🙃🪲

"Mr. Seton, were you there when Quakers were hung on Boston Common?" "No, it was in the 1600s!" "Weren't you alive then?" 😂🙃💀🤣 They're already ganging up on me. I'm toast. :)

From the late great @TheDesmondTutu: "Dear Child of God, it is often difficult for us to recognize the presence of God in our lives and in our world. In the clamor of the tragedy that fills the headlines we forget about the majesty that is present all around us. We feel...

vulnerable and often helpless. It is true that all of us *are* vulnerable, for vulnerability is the essence of creaturehood. But we are not helpless and with God's love we are ultimately invincible. Our God does not forget those who are suffering and oppressed."

Kudos to my 10th grade students for making clever misinformation counterspeech as part of our @CommonSense media literacy unit. Below is just the tip of the iceberg! @CBALincroft

Could use some help: Just recently gave a few lessons about hate speech online, and in a handful of post-unit survey responses, a few students basically said: "Online hate speech isn't the problem. People just need to stop crying & develop thicker skins."

Any advice about how to speak back to this? Was only a small minority of students, but was haunted by their responses. Any suggested resources to share with my predominantly white students around this that might build further empathy on this topic?
