Itās also totally FREE.
once again, itās called CALM HARM
GoFundMe
Iāve never done one of these before and Iām trying not to get my hopes up, but I just made a GoFundMe Project to help replace missing/stolen/broken PE equipment from this last school year. Iāve had more kids than usual break the crap out of equipment, and weāve had literally NOTHING to play with for the last two months. I feel so bad for the kids who werenāt the ones to mistreat the equipment, but Iām out of funds (professionally and personally) to replace the items.
Please take a look if youāre interested, fund if youāre wanting and able. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Letter to the teacher of a difficult student
Please remember we are working with delicate little humans. They absorb everything we say, everything we do,everything we donāt say, and everything we donāt do. Be aware of your interactions with your students. You have the power to influence them. Take a note from spiderman āWith great power comes great responsibilityā. Strive to make all interactions with students as positive as possible.
Snarkyās Book Bunch: A Reading Challenge for Educators in 2016
Happy New Year, Educhums!
Thank you so much for all of the suggestions for our reading challenge this year. I incorporated as many as I could. Here are the categories I came up with:
All of the āofficialā information is on the blog here. Iāll be readingĀ āBig Magicā by Elizabeth Gilbert for this monthās category, but all of them are broad enough to encompass all kinds of books.Ā
Reblog if youāre going to join us and include your January title. Also, follow the Pinterest board here and add your suggestions.
Hereās to a great 2016!
For the evening crowdā¦ Join in!
Hmm. Not sure what my January read will be, but I like this!
Yes, please! Not sure what to pick for January though ā¦
Iām not sure if itās consideredĀ āinspiringā but I just gotĀ āBehind the Beautiful Foreversā which Iāve heard is heartbreaking and inspirational. Ā :)
If you feel like itās going to inspire you, it counts! :] @thatoneweebteacher
Sounds good to me!
Happy New Year!
Where are all the teachers who love teaching?
My tumblr and Facebook are filled with articles about why teachers quit and memes about how badly teachers need a vacation. There are rants about parents and administrators and disrespectful students. Burnout and exhaustion. Judging by what I read on the Internet, teaching must really suck.
I worry. Clearly, I worry about the conditions teachers face every day that make them feel this way. But I also worry about the impact of this negative narrative.
If teaching is so miserable, why should a capable person even want to enter the profession?
If all teachers burn out, why not replace credentialed teachers with TFA-style teachers meant to leave the profession within two years anyway?
If teaching is so impossible, it must take savior-type people to do it. Think āFreedom Writers" or āStand and Deliver.ā
Do the public and policy makers just tune out legitimate complaints from the trope of the overworked and underpaid teacher?
ā
But hereās the thing I never read: teaching can be an awesome profession. And not just in a community service āmakes me feel all warm insideā way.
Teaching gives me a space to be creative and analytical all at once. I get to create a plan and put it to fruition. I am serious and professional and theatrical and silly all within a day. I get to build relationships with people big and little and design my own community. I spend my days with people I legitimately love. My āofficeā is a giant space I have designed myself and I am never bored at work.
I know teachers give a lot, but I get so much from teaching, too.
People often ask me what my long term goals are. I canāt predict the future, but for now, my answer is simple. I want to keep doing what Iām doing.
ā-
Where are all the teachers who feel like me? I know I am not unique or special.
Rants are funny and the Internet can be a cathartic place to share about a rough day. But I also wish there was more space here for sharing joys and successes.
We need some positivity to combat the negative āpressā about teaching.
We can even use our joy to encourage change. We need teachers who can stand up and say, āI love teaching and plan to teach for the next 30 years, and thatās why ____ must change,ā and āI am a professional and am getting awesome results, and thatās why I should be paid like doctors and lawyers.ā
Iām proposing some āPower of Positive Thinking, Teacher Editionā kind of deal. Anyone with me?

It is so important to help our students to change their mindset. Spread the concept of positive thinking and and promote a growth mindset. Help your students to make self improvement the goal not grades.
educational youtube channels:
for when the burnout is real and all you really wanna do is lie in bed and watch things but you gotta at least try to study. these are mostly channels iāve watched and subscribed to!

Awesome list!
This is so inspiring! Every child deserves to have someone in their corner. Not to make it easy but to help them through the challenges when they come.
