Watched a movie based on a true story this week in my classes. At the end of the movie, it shows the real people with a caption of what they are doing now.
I had a kid ask why the kids in the movie look nothing like what they do as adults now.
Um. Those are actors.

A great teacher can be broken by this
A great group of kids can be left behind
This isn’t inclusion, this ignores the 99%.
I feel this even more now that some of the loudest voices in my class are those that talk about how much they don’t want to be there.

Giving teachers hardly any time in their rooms after they return to get ready for the school year might suggest that they were supposed to be preparing for the school year during their unpaid time off.
If we want educators to work during the summer, pay them for their time.

Admin, take time to:
*Say hello to staff & students in the hall
* Check on teachers, especially life events they’re dealing with
* Sit in on classes & leave note
* Occasionally sub
*Show staff you appreciate them
* Ask what staff needs to succeed
* Encourage
* Say Thank you

Most Teachers will tell you right now that they love Teaching they just hate being a Teacher at the moment. Pointless meetings, micromanaging, lack of support, lack of accountability, salary that doesn’t keep up with cost of living and unpaid labor (lesson plans and grading).

When those who always wanted to be a teacher finally become a teacher, and then eventually decide to leave teaching because it has become so toxic— the problem is the system.

This year… and every other year… administrators would do well to care more about the well being of their teachers than they do about their plans for professional development of those teachers.

Just because most kids are in school buildings doesn't mean that this year is "normal."
Many are saying it's the hardest year yet.

As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole?
Teachers' emotional struggles have a DIRECT INFLUENCE on their interactions with students. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help STUDENTS!
A4: I use @MartinaBex’s somos curriculum and I love how it structures around stories. Bell ringer to get in the mindset of class, storytelling/processing and tons of ways to interact with language through meaningful content. #langchat
