Guilt is huge in first generation and poor students this time of year. Be attentive. Be aware. They are a group that need help over their entire university career.
My advice was this: don't work yourself to death because you feel guilty you're not working yourself to death. And a student burst into tears and another have an amen.
Today, I made a student cry. On a panel for first generation and low income students, we were asked to give advice we wish someone had told us. The rest of my panel said great stuff: explore, be adventure, take chances. So I went in a different direction: try to lose your guilt.

Students should be made to think, to doubt, to communicate, to question, to learn from their mistakes, and most importantly have fun in their learning.
I started every new class by telling them I had heard so many good things about them and I was lucky to have them. Every class, Every year! It makes a difference.
If I have a concern about something at my kid’s school… I should: A. Post about it on social media OR B. Contact someone at the school who can actually do something about it (I’m gonna go with B!)
We each wrote a poem based on George Lyon’s poem “Where I’m From” and then picked our favourite line to make a whole-class poem. This is where we are from!
New teacher advice: Ensure your first communication home is a positive one. You should make positive contact with every family before the end of the first two weeks. Consistent positive contact will make the tougher conversations easier and better received.
You need to learn your content. You need to learn how to differentiate, accommodate and modify. You need to learn how to collaborate with colleagues and families.
Dear new teacher, You do not need a teacher tiktok, IG, and Twitter. You do not need to open a TPT store. You do not need a specialized handshake for each student or a song and dance for each lesson.+
Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.
I may be naive, but if I was a parent I would trust the person (teacher) who spends 180 days with my child, cares about my child, nurtures my child, and who would take a bullet for my child, and NOT a politician or news pundit who doesn’t do ANY of the things I listed.
When I started calling parents to tell them what their kids did well, rather than always what they did wrong, my entire classroom dynamic changed for the better - and parents were happy to hear from me.
Friendly back to school reminder: When kids show up late for school, they still showed up. Thank them, not scold them. “I’m happy you’re here" goes a very long way.
*when the villain in the movie has a PhD* Viewers without a PhD: Ah, they are just saying he’s a smart villain. Makes sense. Viewers with a PhD: Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense.
There’s no reason family members should be texting & calling children during school hours. IF it is real emergency (life/death) go pick them up or call the school. What do you want for dinner? Where’s the TV remote? Do you want to go to the fair Saturday. Are not emergencies!

It is disheartening the number of people who think Milwaukee City athletes should not get the same opportunities as other student-athletes. They face more barriers to participation, barriers to success, & challenges than just about anyone in the state. And deserve their chance.

When you hear students speaking highly of a colleague, please go directly to the teacher and tell them all about it. Email. Text. Whatever. It happens all the time. Don't waste it.
Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.

I’ve paid almost $30,000 on a $20,000 student loan from 2006. My balance is $24,000. I never missed a payment, & only entered forbearance recently. I filed for student loan forgiveness. Regardless of whether it is approved, I am never making a payment again. I don’t care anymore.
Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.
What does "reform" look like, then? Instead of heat, it's help. Instead of threats, it's capacity-building. Instead of pressure, it's support. I'll leave it to educators to name the things that would *actually* improve schools. But I'll start with one... 13/
The three dominant approaches to education reform of the past quarter-century were all rooted in a flawed theory. Here's what that tells us about supporting school improvement in the years to come... 🧵
And by the way, when I say this, it is because it is fundamental for meeting the needs of *students* in historically underserved schools. Any theory about school improvement that doesn’t consider teacher working conditions is bunk. You don’t serve students by trashing teachers.
We should be working to create an educational system in which all schools are equally attractive for educators to work in. That is so basic. And we are so far from it.
