The Breakfast Club – #BFC530 – is a 15 minute, 1 question Twitter chat every weekday. We chat in 4 timezones Mon-Fri – 5:30am Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Times. The mission of BFC is to empower participants to make a difference in education by engaging in consistent reflective practice in a supportive community that inspires and challenges one another.
My next goal is to really take the summer off from work and going to PD. After that, I really don’t know. I always strive to get better. The great thing is, I never know what opportunities will come around. #bfc530
We gave teachers white board markers (12 colors) yesterday for #TeacherAppreciationWeek. - I wish you could have seen their faces! Best gift ever ever! #bfc530
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone! We will wrap up our teacher appreciation week today with me grilling hamburgers and hotdogs for all and a few surprises. Happy early Mother’s Day as well! #bfc530
My immediate & short term professional goal is to close the year strong make sure all of the end of year events are memorable for our seniors & their families!
But more long term—I’m beginning to think about pursuing a doctorate!

My constant professional goal as a constant learner is to share what I have gained and to help busy educators, parents and students. . My Goals page https://t.co/n6S0TWmnQF Great to have goals but it is the follow through that really counts. #bfc530
My next professional goal is to get trained in SEL and become Google certified Level 2. I'm also looking at getting tech certified to train adults. #bfc530
Next professional goal? I'm lucky if I remember to keep my teaching certificate current. I tend to be pretty happy with whatever my current job is until an opportunity lands on my desk. #bfc530
I want to continue to bring more focus to my life, and learn two new tech tools to become more efficient at personalizing the experience for those I serve. #bfc530
My next professional goal? Im satisfied of where Im at, not looking to move into administration. Just want to focus on never ending improvement of my teaching skills #bfc530
I just recently started writing a blog and would love to add followers and receive feedback. This feedback will help me reflect & grow was an educator. #BFC530#LoveLiteracyLearning
Here’s my first post 😊

I’m currently working towards my #EDD in school leadership. I hope to transition to a central office position and then eventually become a superintendent. #bfc530
Professional goals ... used to want to open my own school ... now I am not quite so sure ... some days I start thinking about retirement and wonder if I should look into another career before it’s too late #bfc530
I just have to share. I got a new color laser printer with a grant. Oh my! Students work and enthusiasm just went through the roof! There are one page of two different stories. #bfc530
As I walked out to exchange lineup cards before yesterday's game, I told me team "Dont worry, the card matches what is in our book, Im not doing what the Mets did yesterday" LOL #bfc530

I'm thinking about retiring in next 3-5 years and onto my next adventure.
Perhaps ed leadership in another state? Facilitating professional development? #bfc530
I've been involved in coaching in a few different contexts- would love to bring that culture to my school. Ts observing/working with other Ts- in/out of each other's classrooms- all working alongside one another to achieve personal goals. #bfc530

I always wanted to attempt a podcast. Just something to verbalize my thoughts on education. Always wanted to create minute long history lessons as a gift to my students parents to get a flavor of my classroom teaching. More improvement than goals #bfc530
Complete teacher librarian AQs part 1,2&3 to get my speacialist & reach top of pay grid.
Maybe get lucky enough to get a teacher-librarian position?
#bfc530
My org is starting one, Kevin. On the science of adolescent learning. As with everything my org does, it has been made way too complicated. :) I think it is a really easy thing to do - and even easy to do well. #bfc530
Need to head out for my weekly Friday morning diner run. A friend I havent seen in a long time has seen my posts about it & is considering stopping by this morning. Have a well deserved rest! Im out! #bfc530
I’m more thinking about teachers in years 1-3, I’d like to have an impact on their teaching...we haven’t had much success with student teachers. #BFC530

Aloha. Jumping in before I go to sleep (11:44pm in Hawaii). Professional goal would be to implement what I learn @OpalSchool this summer and form a cohort with my awesome colleagues I’ll be traveling with to Portland. #bfc530
I love doing what I do, but let’s be honest ... retirement on this base pay is not looking very pretty ... I am still young enough to do 20 in Ed and move to private sector and do 20 for more and be financially secure #bfc530
Have a great Friday and weekend, all. Sorry I can not join more often - but good to get a #BFC530 jolt every so often. For those in the DC area, maybe see you on U Street tomorrow for the @FunkParade Gonna be a blast!
Find the spark of passion today and ignite the flames of learning in your students friends, it’s what we do, and why we do it! ❤️ 👍 Seize the day! Have an amazing weekend, and Happy Mother’s Day! #bfc530

It’s funny how teaching runs in families. My father taught Engineering Drawing Part Time for many years at local Institute of Tech, my mother taught piano privately (classically trained via Trinity College London)- her brother a T, myself, my brother, 2 nieces, all Ts! #bfc530 😀
I get to do the occasional guest lecture, enjoyable but I really enjoy working shoulder to shoulder with in-service Teachers. I write extensively. #bfc530
@NAMIMass is an organization that increases awareness of mental health issues, fund resources & support families. I'm walking on 5/19 in support of this non-profit & for all of our children! Please consider donating https://t.co/jSTzMRE7aN#msaachat#principalsinaction#bfc530
Hey #bfc530 Can’t get a better job than being a Bow Tie Tour guide to keep Mr. Madison at the forefront of my mind. Remember Constitution day is Sept 17. Mr. M is also known as the author of the Bill of Rights. That anniv is Dec15th. See https://t.co/A9s1mquT36 for booking info.
For those of you not there last night, #waledchat trended on Twitter in our convo about positive mindset. In honor of this I leave you with a quote: Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success. #bfc530
I would probably be better at mentoring a newer teacher (years 1-3) than as one responsible for a student teacher. I would be stressing if the students were not receiving everything they needed from the student teacher. #bfc530
Other than continuing to “relearn” Math concepts and taking an AQ, this summer I’ll be working on an unpublished blog I’ve had to set aside during these busy months😁 #bfc530

My professionalgoals for next year are teacher self-care and identifying and boosting teacher strengths instead of focusing on weaknesses. I’d love some resources on either of those topics! #bfc530
Morning, #bfc530. Prize I'm eyeing: Leveraging new school schedule in 2018-19, featuring more block periods, to nudge class cultures closer to mastery-, inquiry-, & play-based literacy studio.
