Meet our 2024 Teacher Ambassadors! This group of 300+ ambassadors will provide feedback on our resources and amplify our message by sharing with their communities how they use RR in their classrooms. Get to know these fantastic teachers on our website: retroreport.org/education/teac…
I’m a teacher myself but have never seen this clear the list before. I’m fortunate to have the materials I need, so RT and I will see what I can do with my own money to help some of you amazing educators 📚#clearthelist #teachertwitter
𝐌𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 2020 Teaching is an easy job with long vacations. 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 - 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, 2020 Oh wow…teachers are heroes! 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 ALL teachers indoctrinate our kids! We hate them!
Representative Jim Wooten is delivering an all-time great speech on the floor of the Arkansas legislature.
Join our call-in day of action! Call your House rep at 501-682-6211 anytime from 9am to 3pm .Tell them to slow down the voucher bill! #ArkansasLEARNS
Carlisle superintendent: Nobody has addresses the elephant in the room. I will. Our people in Carlisle are concerned about the lineage of the current governor going back to her father who consolidated schools. We don’t want our school to go away.
Someone asked me today why anyone would want to push an education plan to destroy our public schools. It’s simple-there are people looking to make money off privatized education and they’re circling like buzzards waiting for the governor to serve them Arkansas on a plate. #arpx
Why do we use the term "enslaved people" instead of "slaves"? Slavery was a legal status, not an identity. Our goal is to use language that respects the dignity of all. The term “enslaved people” emphasizes their humanity rather than a status imposed by others.
I’m pretty convinced that all K-12 teachers should have time in their day for reading, researching, and writing in their fields. We need more scholarship from people who are actually doing the work. But that takes time.
“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us.” -James Baldwin newyorker.com/books/page-tur…
I’m 42. Born and raised in Arkansas. A wife of 21 years. Mother of 2. First generation college student. Teacher. Union supporter. Lover of books, thrift shopping, and animals. I’m voting for fellow Watson Chapel alum @JonesForAR. #radicalleft
Admin, when you drop in the class for a visit, maybe check to see if the teacher needs anything, like running to restroom, or bring them a water/ coffee. The little things are the big things in the daily grind!
The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin is critical as the thermostat but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.
Show me a teacher and I’ll show you a high-functioning, anxiety-ridden, stressed out ball of exhaustion.
One of the most valuable classroom resources and did I mention that it is FREE. Thank you @CSPANClassroom! Please amplify #sschat #hsgovchat #NCCed #icivicsednet C-SPAN's 2024 Electoral College Map Poster docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
✨BOOK GIVEAWAY!✨ 🎉 It's #MisinformationNation's publication day! 🎉 To celebrate, I'm giving away a free copy. To enter: 📚 Like this tweet 📚 Retweet it 📚 Follow me (so I can DM you) I'll pick a random winner after midnight on Oct. 16.
Educators - sometimes young people just need a win - they are beaten down in a system not designed for them. Be the kind of teacher who recognizes and acknowledges the awesomeness of the students who everyone else forgets.
Public school children should get free meals anyway. All of them.

The way adults treat Black girls in schools is upsetting.
It's a #CherryBlossom encore. The Kwanzans are blooming! Named after a mountain in Japan, the Kwanzan cherry trees bloom in bright pink clusters and are primarily found in East Potomac Park. Going around Ohio Drive on the Hains Point loop, you can't miss them. #WashingtonDC🌸🌸🌸

I’m thinking about creating a company called, “Retirement Bourbon,” where you order a bottle on your first day of teaching, we age it, and send it to you on the day you retire. Who wants a bottle?!
Used this in my classes today to talk about how the choices we are given in a democracy can sometimes have dire consequences. We want to give people a voice, but that can come at a cost. EXCELLENT transition into our talk of pre-Civil War. @RetroReport retroreport.org/video/fights-o…
Maybe we should all refuse to sign contracts that say, “other duties as assigned.”
This boy brought flowers to his favorite home depot employee on her birthday. So kind!
One of the more challenging parts of teaching is trying to get kids to realize how their poor decisions primarily impact THEM. As their teacher, it’s saddening and frustrating because you just want them to see the reality they are creating for themselves.

Instead of admin doing walkthroughs, they could do "tag outs." They take over your class so that you can walkthrough another teacher's class. Admin learns about your class, how they learn, classroom behavior & relationships. Teachers learn new ideas for lessons & management.

Snow may be in the forecast for this weekend, but my mind is in full blown summer mode. Which can only mean one thing– summer teacher institutes! Applications are available for all four of our weeklong programs this July. #NCCed constitutioncenter.org/education/prof…
If you are one of the legions of teachers I've met at a conference or webinar, and expressed an interest in having @RetroReport materials that cover *early* U.S. History, well, we have something for you! Check out this new video and lesson (with #APGov and #APUSH FRQs/DBQs)!
Calling all #USHistory, #Civics and #Government teachers! Some of you expressed interest in RR resources that cover earlier chapters of American history. This video segment covers major moments and themes of the founding and pre-Civil War eras. Watch: retroreport.org/video/fights-o…
