I am a classroom teacher and you have to know that thinking that we can only learn from other classroom teachers is not opening our minds enough! We can learn from everyone in the education field! We grow from learning how to see other perspectives. #EduAR
While I have no doubt you "miss the classroom all the time," those of us still in it (some, but sadly not all, because we love it) need to talk to each other more and the gurus less.
No one leaves the classroom because they have to--folks leave because they want to.

A1 There are so many I don’t even know what to choose. But one from today really sticks out to me:
“Sometimes the heart sees what is invisble to the eye.” -H. Jackson Brown
Always look and listen with your heart. Be kind. Always.
#eduAR
A1: The words of the amazing @JodyCarrington are guiding my days as the year winds down and I approach some major changes. Lean into joy and bring on the gratitude! #EduAR
I write affirmations I read daily. When life is tough, I remind myself, “I am making lasting impacts on my students.” Simple but keeps me going. #EduAR
A1 Those moments do happen, but surround yourself with positive voices, family, mentors, friends & influences so you can look up to the sky & visualize the prism! #EduAR
A2: This song, by Johnny Reid. We have the great privilege of being role models, even when we're weary, so this song uplifts and inspires me. https://t.co/UsC92Cp93N#eduAR
A2 As a father and an educator. When I need a boost, a reminder or share with others that anything is possible, I love this video of Jessica's Daily Affirmations. Let us approach everything with such joy and hope.
https://t.co/Er9wloj7Px#eduAR
A2: I love a good underdog story. This video of @StephenCurry30's early development and effort early on inspires me to push forward and continue growing. #EduARhttps://t.co/KlEP36lUvq
A2 KIDS! KIDS! KIDS! That’s my why! Check out this great impromptu video of kids popping into our office on the way to and from the library to teach us to floss! ❤️😂#EduAR@CristinaDajero
A2: This video y'all. Charlotte Brown qualified for state in track. As a pole vaulter. And she's blind.
Talk about eliminating excuses for me! Gotta find a way to overcome! #EduARhttps://t.co/GgZ8wNxfeT
A2 - don’t have access to this video b/c it’s one of my #alted Ss graduation speech. She talked about how she grew from this immature, irresponsible, reckless young girl into a refined, elegant young woman. It was pretty powerful given our school parameters #EduAR
A3: A3: I haven’t been much of a reader. Trying to pry myself away from chats to read #LCInnovation... and I have 3 kids 5 and under soooo. Yeah... #EduAR
How to Spark eduLIFE in the admin role (roundtable discussion) and session on walking people through how to run school twitter chats.Yes, she will be there with others from our school! #eduAR
A3: I am fairly new to Twitter and reading the blogs and positive messages posted have been amazing these past few months. The first one I read was by @karaknollmeyer. #EduAR
A4 - I’m a child of the 80’s so true old school hip hop BDP, Big Daddy Kane, A Tribe Called Quest gets the blood flowing and my creative energy going #EduAR
A3: whenever I feel like I need a pick me up- I just pick up one of my @dbc_inc books, depending on whatever is weighing heavy on my mind and/or heart #EduAR#loveLiteracyLearning#DBCBooks
A4 Love my Sirius subscription, but sometimes just enjoy listening to Voxer messages, my PLN is awesome #4OCFPLN but lately, loving the song No roots by Alice Merton or Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, and always the 80s music too #eduAR
A4: My kids and I have been listening to "A Million Dreams" from @GreatestShowman to pump us up in the morning and get ready for the day😍 #EduAR#TeacherMyth
A4 I love listening to Rise by Katy Perry, Fight Song by Rachel Platten, Rise by Andra Day, Brave by Sara Bareilles, Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake, Be You by Tara Shannon #eduAR
A4 I listen to The Guess Who (American Woman & No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature. Some days "Under Pressure" by Queen/Bowie seems appropriate too #EduAR
A4 My daughter and I jam out to anything girl power in the mornings Fight Song, Roar, Taylor Swift etc and the Zombies soundtrack and the greatest showman soundtrack windows down and the radio up #EduAR
Wish everyone would check out this graphic and share with whomever makes the decisions to purchase prof learning books at your school. This would be a game changer for a school! #eduar
A5 I wanted to make a difference, to be there to help change the lives of others. To build and share hope, kindness, love and help make dreams come true. I want to help empower others so they become everything they can be. #eduAR
A4: Anything upbeat. We play music before morning announcements and we usually have a pretty eclectic mix to get the day started! I like to find a way to squeeze some Pearl Jam in there... 😊 #EduAR
A1 #eduar "Share a quote that keeps you going when your work gets tough" @aaron_hogan These are quotes I shared with my @Entrepreneur class this year. I tried to start every class with one and they motivated me.
A4: I start my day with music..I play it almost all day in my class. I take student requests to keep their juices flowing. At any given moment, you can hear @blakeshelton to @ChuckBerry in our room #musicfreesthesoul#eduAR
A5: I had some wonderful Elementary teachers who inspired me to “teach” my stuffed animals, nephew, neighbors, and anyone else who would indulge. I was 7 when that began! #EduAR
A5: I started in the workforce and didn’t feel I was making an impact. At age 23 went to college to become a teacher ... one of the best decisions of my life:) #EduAR
A5:I had some fantastic teachers who made an incredible impact on me, but I also had some who seemed to hate their chosen path. That had just as large an impact on me. The great ones inspired me to get started, the not so great inspired me to love it & my kids everyday! #eduar
A4: Currently on my latest obsession playlist is “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman. “Found/Tonight” by @Lin_Manuel & Ben Platt but y’all should check out “Fight On” by @BarrettBaber He was an awesome debate T who went on to live his dream on #thevoice...#EduAR
They come to our room because it’s a safe place and they know we will celebrate them, even the smallest accomplishments! I love that we have that kind of relationships with our kiddos- so worth coming to work each day for moments like this!
A5: I have ALWAYS wanted to be a teacher- I knew there was nothing else I’d rather be. I can’t imagine my life any differently. #eduAR#LoveLiteracyLearning
A5. Just the other day I had the wonderful opportunity to share about my journey into ed on #EduMatchhttps://t.co/hjBPJWK8tC Started when I was Junior in HS - 1972 :-) #eduar
A5: My great Aunt Norma was my first and second grade teacher; she let me be her helper to contain my energy and put it to work. She loved unconditionally and made everyone feel like they were her favorite. She taught for 50 years; I wanted to be her!! #eduAR
A5 Honestly it was teachers a few teachers who had a way of communicating not just passion for their content, but living life to its fullest. Profound impact, combined with a desire to pay that forward with young people took me into education #EduAR
A5 my 3rd gr teacher who was student centered, flexible seating, voice and choice before these things were buzzwords in education! She loved you and knew you and you felt safe and wanted in that classroom she was the original #champforkids#EduAR
A5 Jumping in late! Crazy week! I come from a long legacy of teachers. My family reunion memories as a child are of joyful recaps of everyone’s school year in the classroom. They loved it, lived it and breathed it, & I always knew I would too. ❤️ #eduar
A5: My second grade teacher. She was an amazing teacher-first one in our school to have the brand new Speak and Spell and an electric pencil sharpener!! She then became a great colleague 16+ years later when I came back home to teach. #EduAR
We have about one chat a month this year. We did two a month last year. I like the two a month better, but not sure what we will do next year. We send out questions ahead of time so teachers have time to prepare thoughts and ideas. #EduAR
A5: I feel like I've always known I wanted to be a teacher but the fact that I get to have fun with kiddos, laugh, and learn with them all day long really keeps me going😊 #bestjobintheworld#EduAR#TeacherMyth
A5~ The awesome community of teachers, principal, school nurse at my elementary school❤️❤️❤️❤️they cared, corrected, empowered , & loved us as we were & encouraged us to be the best version of ourselves! #EduAr
Q6: Alright. Bring the tears! Let's see those videos that remind you so much of why you are in education that you can't help but respond with some emotion. #EduAR#TeacherMyth
I played library every summer at my grandparents' house. I loved to check out all of their books. To them. They were wonderful! (my grandparents. although the books were too). #eduar
Q2: Share a video that helps you refocus on what matters most in your work.#EduAR#TeacherMyth
This video of Billy Donovan Pregame Speech always gets me focused!
"live in the moment and understand there is going to be adversity" https://t.co/VZwsG7exUP
Q6: Alright. Bring the tears! Let's see those videos that remind you so much of why you are in education that you can't help but respond with some emotion. #EduAR
A5:Come from a family of edu. Dad convinced me I couldn't provide for family. Switched majors. Died slow death in corp. America. Took exploratory trip to Rwanda. Wife & I were going to work w/orphans as teacher & RN. Got placed in inner city job. Eyes opened. Rest history! #eduAR
Q6: Alright. Bring the tears! Let's see those videos that remind you so much of why you are in education that you can't help but respond with some emotion. #EduAR
A6 I cannot think of education without thinking about Rita Pierson. This is a must watch for all teachers! #eduAR
Every kid needs a champion.

My inspiration came after being in the classroom as a sub and then a para. Showing students their worth, watching them grow and loving them each day inspires me to keep going...even in May! #eduAR
A5 I love to learn. I love the way children see things. just always knew I had to be involved in that joy whether it was teaching first grade, teaching children with Autism to communicate or helping teachers with math instruction #eduar
A6: I am unable to post the videos I would like to share. Watching my Ss enjoy learning and smile while at school everyday. This is what keeps me going! #eduAR
A5: I honestly believe that I became a T because I 💜 being at school growing up & even now 23 yrs in I’m really anxious about leaving for the summer....I relate to our Ss that only feel safe at school #EduAR
A6: Every May when I watch the DVD I make for my kids with all the photos from the year and hear them relive the moments,laugh, and the moment of silence at the end when they realize the year is over makes me tear up a bit. #EduAR
At Character Counts, one of ways we encourage Ts to instill values is to use vicarious experiences of stories read, told or viewed. Knowledge alone will not change behaviors - emotions do. #eduAR
A6) Anytime when I see kids defy the odds that are placed upon them by others (stereotypes) and manifested in self-doubt and negativity moves me to continue our work. #EduAr
A7: Joy is contagious and can positively influence and inspire people. Delight in the presence of the person in your presence and watch them soar to new heights! Be a Joy-Maker and let the ripples of positivity begin. #eduAR
Paul McCartney’s “Blackbird” inspired by the Little Rock Nine, sung on the steps of Central High today by the most amazing 4th graders. Beautiful voices, beautiful hearts! #JoyfulLeaders#RobertsRocks
A7: It’s always wonderful when someone leaves a little note specifically praising something special about what you do. We can be so hard on ourselves, it’s nice when others remind us of the good things. I know this means the world to me, so my plan is to pay that forward. #eduar
A7: I’m going to watch the videos shared and @khoggardGRT get ready to listen to some new songs in the am- we’ll be jamming to some inspiration tomorrow to get our Fabulous Friday started right! #eduAR#LoveLiteracyLearning
Q2: Share a video that helps you refocus on what matters most in your work.#EduAR#TeacherMyth This video also, because I want to teach my students to be innovative & have compassion so they can change the world. #SelfTaughthttps://t.co/iKnHzMlLBh
The smallest everyday connections can leave such a lasting impression.
Smile.
Ask how folks are doing.
Share some encouragement.
Really listen when they share.
It makes a huge difference.
#EduAR#TeacherMyth
A7 I will show kids and teachers I VALUE them! I will share a blank slate and a fresh start without regard to the issues of yesterday when we meet tomorrow! #EduARhttps://t.co/85AsjVFy2e
