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.
#bfc530 We have Core Ethical Values in our district: kindness, courage, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Each month, we recognize #students who demonstrate them on a consistent basis.
My Community-Based Service Learning page https://t.co/ZZEnW0tCpn I was part of a Health Career Learning Program https://t.co/ipd2nMtij7 where students worked in health facilities/nursing homes once a week during school year #bfc530
In a year when snow days extended our calendar, my school took one of the days to organize every student into service learning groups. Some worked in school on projects, others traveled to help elsewhere. Students could suggest projects and help organize. #bfc530
I think it’s the small things Ss notice- stopping to help someone in the hallway, picking up trash, helping the community in small ways everyday. #bfc530
...by ensuring that every project we do has a service component tied to the needs of the community and requiring every project team to have an outside mentor. #rethinkhighschool#bfc530
Social media has helped the community understand that educators are service-oriented, and that schools can be positively branded through this promotion.

One of our service projects is to visit a local retirement residence, spending time with seniors. Some are so lonely and they light right up when they get a chance to spend some time with children. 😊 #bfc530
We make every effort to listen to student voice. We also remind r Ss that we r a community school. We participate in events that help those in need in r community. We also 'require" every S to do 20hrs of comm. serv. each semester #bfc530
I treat them with kindness and empathy at all times. I take bold action on their behalf, unwilling to accept the status quo when it’s not in their best interests. #bfc530
We do a unit on what it takes to be an activist. Students read activists’ memoirs, identify the activist’s strengths, learn strategies to overcome challenges, and design an award named for their activists that they give to a peer.

Our school's program had our students at a senior center, nursing home or health facility once a week during the school year. HCP page https://t.co/ipd2nMtij7 We got a grant to do this #bfc530

Students also need to see their teachers involved in service. Some issues are tricky, but students should know their teachers are activists too. #bfc530
So important to not shy away from those tough conversations. Good for you Veronica! I think there are too many out there who are 'afraid' to to let S's share their feelings/ask questions about tough topics.
#bfc530
This year we sent greetings to our local veterans’ center and nursing home and we will send valentines to another group. Working on service to connect to refugees. #bfc530
I am a community service learning advisor, I am continually looking for ways to encourage activism. I really need @cybraryman1 and @RJLeagueChat for this one to ramp up efforts for this year #bfc530

As far as activism goes, we get involved with everything. Our Ss have marched for more money for education, they've helped save our wild dunes...anything we can #bfc530

Yes! I want my students to be productive members of society-the younger you instill this the better-I give them responsibilities & teach them that we are a community/team & we all need to help each their &work together to make the world a better place. #bfc530
I teach History ... I try to intertwine people who are activists ... in theory every politician is an activist ... sometimes their on our side sometimes not #bfc530
I do a unit on Awesome Americans in Feb. I aways choose people they never heard of. Thinking I can choose activists they never heard of just as easily...Thx for the idea:)

I feel as though we are starting to build this way of thinking: raising money for Pennies for Patients, saving pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House. Trying to push further with the #SDGs & helping Ss develop empathy for others. #bfc530
I will search. I'm not at the school anymore but still in touch. I remember we struggled with how to do signup at first because of organization needs. I'm sure they still have a list of projects somewhere. #bfc530
I make sure that Ss feel they can come to me- they have a voice in my class and if they don’t feel heard w/in the school I support them and provide guidance #BFC530
thanks, just hoping to expose the Ss to the issues they will need to address as adults. We have marched against gun violence as well as the @ADL_National March Against Hate #bfc530

That would be awesome. Those last few days, no matter how hard you try, can be such a waste of time. This would be something worthwhile to do. Thnx for checking! #bfc530
Suggest contacting and speaking at your local Jaycee's, United Way, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce to get opportunities for your students. Do you have a Key Club in your school? #bfc530

Agreed. I always introduce myself as an #LGBTQ activist and talk about how that makes me different & daring. Then Ss must answer what makes them daring & different:)

I know its a requirement for 8th grade in the school system I work in. Where my kids go to school, middle and high both need to get service hours. I think my daughter is saving them all up for senior year. #procrastination#bfc530
I think it begins with how you treat them (students) & to continuously remind them that if they cannot treat those in front of their face with kindness, how can they expect to have empathy for those in the world outside the classroom #bfc530
We have the same thing ... I do question how many are doing community service vs just finding a friend to sign off on the paperwork. What constitutes “community service”? #bfc530

Exactly, its having a "you first" mentality rather than "me first". Something I always need to remind myself in & out of the classroom. Always think of the Gale Sayers conveying that in his book, "I am Third" #bfc530
Yes! That is why I love #globaled so much! Nothing taps into student curosity and shows them the relevance for their learning like teaching globally does! #bfc530
Are we conflating activism and service? I see service as working to help people who are affected by injustice and activism as taking action against the injustice itself—alongside and led by people in the communities targeted by the injustice.
#bfc530
Many of our Ss tend to dislike the mandatory hours, but get very involved with our Spirit Club which is student run. I guess it's the power of "voice and choice" #bfc530

Showing up to your favorite teacher’s classroom to “help” after school ... yes they are giving back and that is important ... for some, giving back is a requirement for others it is a gift to the community #bfc530

Empower our kids. Service learning projects. Give Ss real world problems to solve and challenge them to change lives. I teach history but I’d rather have my Ss make history! #bfc530

Ss get directions like “partners on the left grab 2 markers” or “front row collect your row’s rulers to return.” Not sure if it’s the best way, but I make them serve each other. Activism: I promote calm communication. Hostility not allowed. #bthschat#bfc530
