"Once they enter my classroom, they are not just my students for the year but for life. I will be advocating for them and worrying about them even after they move on." —Educator Shonda Hobbs
The number one reason teaching is so special?
👇 It's these connections:

tl;dr: Academic work= research+teaching+service. In 2025, I was able to connect all 3 to my core values: democratizing knowledge & challenging systems that perpetuate inequities. It's not always glamorous, but I think it matters.

My students and I have spent the last two hours devising a new definition for ancient literacy. This is the good part of academia: engaged, thoughtful, and curious students who critique scholarship and ideas and come up with a better way. #tinyjoys #whyiteach

This adorable stuffed mouse is a reminder that teaching is always a human endeavor. More than test scores and learning data, we are working with humans who are learning how to navigate this wide wonderful world.
Sometimes, you need an adventurous mouse to help you on your quest.

"I know teachers go to work for their students … but they should never underestimate the impact they have on their colleagues. Their attitude and energy can inspire the adults around them. So they make a difference for kids they don’t even teach!" —Danny Steele
Reminder: Ss aren't the only ones you make a difference for!

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome I enjoy giving students room to be creative in class. It helps me learn who they are as people.
It also makes moments like this possible. You don't get this from a scripted curriculum.

"My first 6 years of teaching I felt defeated and irrelevant. One day I overheard a student in my class tell another student that I was the best teacher in the world. From that day on I believed her and taught like I was. Thank you, Gabi." —Teacher Matt Johnson

The opportunity to work with INCREDIBLE teachers that want to bring such important work to their students.
The activities help students see how relevant the content I teach—mathematics—is to their everyday lives.
It’s incredibly rewarding to help teachers connect population dynamics, equity, and sustainability—and see them excited to bring those ideas into their classrooms.
It's a lot of fun to be able to share these lessons from my content perspective, science, but also how they can fit into other classroom content as well.
We’re revving up for our upcoming Leadership Institute! 🚀
As we get closer, we’re sharing quotes from our amazing trainers on why they love this work—and what inspires them to keep showing up for educators and students alike.💬

"While teaching is hard, it is incredible. In the midst of the chaotic, tiring days, you will realize you need those amazing kiddos in your life just as much as they need you. Even on my hardest days, I can find something to smile about." —Teacher Payton Scheer
Teaching may be hard – but Ss make it worth the effort, according to T Payton Scheer.

One of my amazing colleagues had her 5th graders make bookmarks for staff members or fellow students, and I was handed these by some former students this afternoon. My heart is SO full. 😍

First day back at the Hellmouth and a student handed me these. She said ‘I saw you sad on the last day of term and I wanted to make you smile’ (my cat died on the last day). Teenagers are bloody amazing. #whyiteach

I have this one amazing student this year that I greet her with "Hey Queen" every day at the door. She then tells me about something that is upsetting her, she gets it out, and then she has a great class. I am really going to miss her next year. #whyiteach

Some of the best advice I have ever received… Find yourself a corner, a shelf, a small space on the wall and put up the reminders to why you chose this job, a teacher, in the first place. ❤️ #teacherlife #gratefulandthankful #whyIteach
