Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

Please don't tell me your teaching methods and materials are culturally relevant, inclusive, or liberatory if they produce illiterate children. Just don't.

I can’t tell you how many times I don’t feel like training and tell myself, “I’ll just do one set and see how I feel.” You would think it would stop working at some point, but I almost always end up doing the whole workout. Just start. Do a little and see what happens.

Edu folk… 👉🏾 You don’t have to wait until February to teach Black History. 👉🏾 Black History month is not the time to focus on teaching slavery. Slavery is already a part of the US History curriculum. Also, Black History did not begin with slavery. edutopia.org/article/teachi…

Consistency before intensity. Start small and become the kind of person who shows up every day. Build a new identity. Then increase the intensity.

People who talk about “student behaviors” as if they’ve magically declined without addressing any of the structural inequities in/around education get a side-eye from me. “Student behaviors” is a dog whistle used to justify mistreatment of children from marginalized backgrounds.

We're not superheroes. We're not saints. We're teachers trying to survive a system that asks too much. This conversation pulls no punches, and it’s long overdue.

Teachers & Administrators: 🤖 Just because you use tools like ChatGPT does not mean you use these tools well. What matters most for the success of our students is *how effectively* we make use of the tools we have at our disposal. 🤖 edutopia.org/article/ai-tho…

One guest said it best: “The moment we ask what a teacher can do to fix the shortage, we’ve already lost our way.” I think you'll appreciate this chat.
