Any city in particular? I'm based in Tulsa and I've been impressed with Youth Services of Tulsa https://t.co/y1QnOWeXpE

How do I get the message to show up in my response!?
I'm rarely at 100%- I'm always finding improvments to make

Q: We need to ensure the community has a meaningful voice in legislation next spring? How can you help? https://t.co/dbWOZcinkU
I feel like that too at times. I just see and read all you all do and it constantly makes me rethink my teaching.
Yes! All professionals need and deserve regular, quality feedback so that we can grow. https://t.co/xs1WWzUNDi
Q21 Do principals need to formally evaluate teachers every year?
Formally, IMO no. Observe & conference, Absolutely!
Nope--but drop in just to touch base w/ teachers and kids. Good for kids to see admin in positive situations https://t.co/RqzPRvY5H6
Q21 Do principals need to formally evaluate teachers every year?

Contact them NOW. Tell them is UR issue. Invite them 2 chats. Send cards every week.
"Tomorrow is another day, another try." That's my motto!
Q: Is their a technology you use or want to use that you wish you would have been taught in college?
That's exactly what a formal evaluation is, a dog and pony show. After admin leaves, some change.

Yes! All professionals need and deserve regular, quality feedback so that we can grow. https://t.co/xs1WWzUNDi

I bet you ADHD people live this format!
right - but help me. This could be eval or could be ideas or could be ______. Push me to be better!
We ALL need to be focused on S learning, S well-being. No EXCUSES!!! https://t.co/TH1scwkGQB
What is one thing that we can all agree to lobby for that strengthens
I'm better if I know someone is watching so yes. I believe we are a thousand times better than we were 2 decades ago.
My class is dictated by the needs of my Ss. It takes a lot of time and effort & can be very frustrating.
I like this phrasing better - 'regular feedback' can be useful. 'Formal Eval' has neg tone.
If school wide, great! Hope at least some teachers are doing this - with the number increasing! https://t.co/jOwdA6ABD3

ODE Just certified their 977 emergency cert this week. they and other teachers need all the feedback they can get
In almost every other job, there is a mid-year and end of year eval. We are pros too, so yes.
