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.
The goal of education is not to get students to think during class, but to think in the hallways, lunchroom, & buses after class (paraphrase) I have the actual quote above my classroom door. #bfc530
I’m grateful that my students were receptive to something new I tried out this year. I’m having them write character bios for their @classcraftgame characters. Great way for them to buy in to the #gamified classroom, create connection with their team and build narrative #bfc530
If I am being honest, Monday morning at 5:30 am is just about the worst time for me to try to conjure up an educationally motivating quote. (I really need to start previewing that spreadsheet so I’m prepared! Oy!) #bfc530
#bfc530 Grateful for the new leadership challenges that I have in my new role as a consultant for my school board and grateful to work with such wonderful teachers!
I'm #grateful for the opportunity to work with @MECSDSpartans (students, staff and administrators) everyday. They inspire me to be the best teacher and person I can be. #bfc530
I'm grateful for all the amazing people I work with. Students, TA's, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, O&M, lunch providers, office support, tech support, board members, community members...
We are Team #GVEPride!
Together We're Better!

Favorite edu quote - there are so many. Today I’m in the mood for a bit of Churchill - “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Not purposefully educational, but seems to fit for us! #bfc530
I am grateful for the chance to do something with purpose for a living. I get to throw a tiny seed into the future each day. That’s pretty damn cool. #bfc530
Ending w/what for me is the reason every student is valuable & worthy of my best effort "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Have a great day. Im out! #bfc530
This...my planner “Believe” plus my coffee cup quote... #bfc530 I #CelebrateMonday by reminding myself that I have the power to lead and motivate. Have a great day everyone! I’ve got to finish my coffee! 😊
I'm learning that when going thru uphill challenges, it's best to lean in, lean forward, shorten your stride, ask for help when needed, and take a pitstop once in a while. #bfc530#HamstraHighlights
Sorry I missed #bfc530 this am. Off for the Holiday.
#HappyNewYear to those celebrating:)

Are you just starting your first year as a principal? Or do you know someone who is? I would love to interview a new principal for some research I’m doing! Tweet me so that we can connect! #bfc530#edchat#edleadership#edleaders#educoach
Good question😊 I find that educational quotes can sometimes feel like blanket statements. That said, there are a few that have inspired me. This is the first that got my attention 15 years ago, leading me to a review and then adjust my assessment & evaluation practices. #bfc530
