A5) Summer might be a good time to discuss burnout-reduction strategies. Also, a "I've always wanted to try..." type chat.

Sundays are good except NFL football. Never a good night. I follow some in the stands but she comes 1st

I have a room near the convention, but it's a king bed. Rollaways?

Q6: How are you showing your educator pride over the summer?.
-
I love edcamps! I've helped schools use the concept for local in-service PD. An easy fit & a hit w/most Ts.

-
An interesting idea. Would be interested to see how often Ts realize they may be limiting Ss growth.
-
a6) remembering summer allows for some new learning, rest & renewal so I can be AWESOME in fall.
-
-
A6: still working hard to be a better teacher and shooting down those idjeeits who say teachers only work 9 months a year!
-
Q6 Talking about what is good about education...no matter where I go. Gas station people might get tired of me...lol

Why don't we just eliminate public schools? The entire concept of state run schools is immoral.

A6: Sharing excitement about It's going to be a groundbreaking year!
-
A6: Like to attend Teacher Appreciation Night this Thursday.

1 - come back refreshed and energized this year (didn't do as well last year)
2 - continue to engage Ss on social media

A6: Balancing learning more with relaxation and family time so I am refreshed and can be my best teaching self by Aug.

-
Interesting idea. Definitely would favor the haves over the have nots
-
I will be at a Discipline conference. :)
-
apparently and I have decided we just might do it!
-
-
-
Can you remember Ts limiting you thought/growth as a student? I can!
-
A6: Sticking to the educator theme. Just cause you have a break of being in a class/school doesn't mean your teaching can't stop

-
Q7: Who is going to Google Summit?

I'm out. Mr Workout Alarm comes early on Monday. Another great . See many of you later this week. Seriously, come find me :)

No one thinks that standardized tests are meant to replace instruction.
-
Looking forward to seeing people in person at GAFE.
-
Revealing convos w/Ts recently about negative effects of incomplete homework on grades. Near 180 degree turnaround!

This summer remember, "There is only one you for all time, fearlessly be yourself."

-
An interesting idea. Would be interested to see how often Ts realize they may be limiting Ss growth.
-
For most part...no. They were doing the job as they understood it. Still happens. 1/2
-
-
Well, hopefully not. How does this apply to traditional degree structures? https://t.co/K78AYRNEes
-
-
No one thinks that standardized tests are meant to replace instruction.
-
Sometimes, tho--Ts feel out-of-control & therefore threatened. S growth goes beyond the Ts comfort.
-
Great to see more flavour being added into w/ adding in some amazing Qs!
-
-
Public education costs rise every year as student performance declines. I don't blame teachers though, I blame parents.
-
-
-
-
Could well untruly flip this question around too. Shouldn't student learning look like teacher learning? https://t.co/Ov9aOemPC0
-
The conversation so often gets sidetracked by who pays rather than how cost structures can be changed. https://t.co/YYzOyg8Qew
