Teachers, you are not in competition, but you're on the same team! Encourage, inspire, and support each other! Build each other up and cheer each other on to greatness. It's "the power of 'WE".
@DrBradJohnson The power of the collective in teaching is incredible! We need to use it to increase teacher pay, get better 403(b) options, and make sure our pensions will actually be able to take care of us in retirement! Yes, I focus on the monetary side way too much!!!
@DrBradJohnson I needed this today. I have been having trouble with a coworker that competes. Many comments are coming from her students last year that are in my class that she tutors. My admin will not address it but I have tried my best to remain positive. I am not a competitive person.
@DrBradJohnson I forget that a lot. Two-time TOTY and I STILL have to remind myself I’m in competition with NO ONE. However, it took me 18 years and a horrible principal who likes to pit teachers against each other, to make myself stop.
@DrBradJohnson Pass. I am aggravated at several staff and will not interact with them in a positive manner.
@DrBradJohnson And share the work - plan and prep together.
@DrBradJohnson It would be dope if all teachers felt like this, believed this, and then acted like this. Finding a teacher crew has had to happen outside my building for the most part.
@DrBradJohnson Being a teacher in Nigeria is crazy though, the competition amongst colleagues is topnotch. School administrators are not even helping; everyone is competing to be favoured by their employer.
@DrBradJohnson @EllisTiersa ❤️I miss you! But I THANK you for always encouraging me and reminding me of my worth in teaching. How not to let others “ruffle my feathers” and how a lot of schools would love my creativity.❤️
