How do YOU fill your cup after a tough day?
(Via educator @RyanVernosh.) #TeacherLife #AlwaysLearning
ALT Today was a tough one and I was not always my best self. The thing about this work is that some days will be like this. Just as I coach our learners to do, we need to show ourselves grace, dust ourselves off, and start fresh tomorrow." —Educator Ryan Vernosh

Shameful the state sits on a $33 B surplus, not including rainy day fund, and fails to fund #txed.
My starting teacher salary in 2002, adjusted for inflation, equates to the same as my district's 2023 starting salary.
It's easy to see and understand why educators are leaving the field and edu program enrollments are declining. #txlege

Standardized tests are only useful for taking away the self-confidence of half of the students taking the exam. Sadly, we call this education.

Added in the ECR rubrics that TEA released on 10/18. Currently working on short-constructed response resources that work cross-content for 3rd-8th.

“It’s just one of those weeks” I tell myself, having picked a career that does not seem to have the other type of week.

Hate how you grow up and no one is impressed with how many books you can read over the summer. No Book It! personal pan pizzas, no free movie tickets, no popcorn parties in the gym while everyone else is stuck in class. Adulthood is a JOKE

Tomorrow, teachers walk into schools to give state tests, graduations, and end of year parties. And we’re expected to do it with smiles on our faces, “you got it attitudes,” and reassure worried children that “you’re safe.” This is not okay.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
