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.
What an awesome @tcechs Exhibition Night last night for our https://t.co/KkNlltjJ6Z project! No worksheet can touch real-world application of knowledge like #PBL and no test can touch an authentic assessment to a public audience. #ReThinkHighSchool#PBLChat
My classroom wish list is to revisit the goals I set at the beginning of the year and see the ones I have met and the ones I still need to work at to accomplish #bfc530
The break, just the break would be my fav edu gift this holiday. Kids are ramped up & mentally I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday indicating my mind's need to shut down LOL #bfc530
This is probably unrealistic, but I would love a new SMART Board. Ours is quite old and very small...many flat screen TVs are larger than our SMART Board...and we use it often. #bfc530

My Edu Present was @casas_jimmy book "Culturize "which I just received. My School Culture page https://t.co/nukenyKH4r#bfc530 So important for what we try to accomplish to have a positive learning environment in our schools. Happy Holidays to all.

I’m hopefully getting luggage so that I can continue to travel and learn more about the world to bring back to my students and to teach my own children about the world around them. #bfc530#wanderlust#selfcare

Personally, I am hoping to be able to:
bettter serve students
increase my ability to lead well
better support teachers
Facilitate an amazing learning environment of continuous improvement...

We have a new teacher contract that will be ratified when we get back from the break ... 1st one in a year and a half ... a raise with back pay will be nice. #bfc530
Sleep. That's all. More than 5 hours in a row. That would be awesome. And a personal chef. And a personal trainer. Who would come to my house. And a spa day. Or two. Ok, I'm stopping now... #bfc530

I remember wanting a Smartboard more than anything. Then we got a school full of them and people didn't know what to do with them. So my EDu present is effective PD tied with a big red bow. #bfc530

Have to tell this story...one of our #PBL teams from our https://t.co/KkNlltjJ6Z project installed smoke detectors in local homes of the needy. Just learned that one went off yesterday, an elderly lady called 911 & her home was saved. True service learning! #TCECProud#bfc530

@NerdCoreTeacher We watched the video of you yesterday! My Ss loved it! Congrats. My cousin is color blind and works for Converse, so they really connected. What a gift! #bfc530
Two more days of classes! For those who are still with their students, I hope you are able to enjoy the chaotic joy! 😊. Have a great day, everyone! #bfc530
Well, I already have one of those LOL. When deciding between buying things like news shoes and clothes or getting my house cleaned: cleaning professional! She is SO much better at it than I am, and cleaning my house w/ kids at home is like brushing my teeth w/ Oreos #bfc530
It takes some kids time to create a reading habit. I find that giving time in class to read helps. So do read alouds. One of my 11th graders finally learned to love reading & it's because of the ongoing work of all the Ts who came before me. Keep doing what you do. #bfc530
So true! In fact it will be the second last or penultimate Friday for 2017, so make the most of it! It probably won't ever happen again in 2017! Have a great day Kathy! #bfc530
I hear what you are saying, but how much of it is their fault. We see the same thing ... the problem ... they never have an opportunity to go to the library to read. How can we expect them to read, but yet never give them time to red? #bfc530
Good point. I see many surprised faces when I let my ms Ss know they can go to the library. If it's not in the schedule, they won't go w/out encouragement. #bfc530
I think this question is worded wrong. As John wooden once said " you handle animals and you deal with people". Perhaps the question is how do you interact with a grinch when necessary? #bfc530
if you are here as an illegal immigrant, accepting government money, & protesting our immigration laws. you should be deported & pay your cost for deportation.
