Most teachers don’t leave because they hate teaching.
They leave because they’re overdrawn from a personal “bank” of time, money and stress.

Teaching used to give you purpose.
Now it might just be draining your health, your bank account, and your joy.
You're not alone—and there is a way out.

Stop calling décor ‘rigor.’ A themed bulletin board can be delightful—it’s not a substitute for trust, time on task, and meaningful practice. #ClassroomCulture #MaslowBeforeBloom #InstructionalTime #TeacherSupport #BackToSchool

Pinterest isn’t pedagogy. Rigor is relationships, relevance, and practice. #ClassroomCulture #MaslowBeforeBloom #TeacherWorkload #PublicEducation #TeachersDeserveBetter

Parents are partners, not critics-in-chief. Ask your teacher: What would make learning smoother this month—materials, snacks, a read-aloud volunteer? Then do it. #PTA #ParentsAndTeachers #CommunityOverCriticism #SupportTeachers #BackToSchool

Best parent flex: ‘How can I back you up on the phone policy?’ Second best: ‘What does \$50 cover this month?’ #ParentsAndTeachers #CellPhoneBan #PTA #CommunitySchools #SupportTeachers

Professional standards must cut both ways. You can’t wave through leadership credentials while micromanaging pacing guides. That erodes trust—the ultimate school resource. #EduLeadership #AdminAccountability #TeacherWellbeing #MaslowBeforeBloom #PublicEducation

MAP-style feedback can help teachers adjust instruction—when it’s quick and low stakes. Bolt ratings to the end, and you’ve simply spread anxiety across the year. #Assessment #StandardizedTesting #TXEd #EducationReform #TeacherSupport

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 16

Through-year cadence isn’t the cure if high stakes remain. We multiplied tests, not learning. #STAAR #Assessment #StandardizedTesting #TXEd #EducationPolicy

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 16

If leadership needs waivers while teachers get written up for minutiae, that’s not higher standards—that’s a double standard. #EduLeadership #AdminAccountability #TeachersDeserveBetter #TXEd #TeacherVoice

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 15

This isn’t a resilience problem. It’s a systems problem: shifting goalposts, extra duties, fewer supports. Fix inputs (time, staffing, respect) and watch outcomes rise. #TeacherBurnout #TeacherWellbeing #EducationReform #MaslowBeforeBloom #TeacherSupport

You’re not just burned out—you’re being burned up by unstable metrics and unpaid extras. You’ve given enough. #TeacherBurnout #TeacherWellbeing #MaslowBeforeBloom #PublicEducation #TXEd

Let policy carry the policy. Celebrate calmer lunches and better focus—but staff for it. Admin handles enforcement. Parents back staff up. Teachers teach. #CellPhoneBan #TeachDontPolice #SupportTeachers #ClassroomCulture #MaslowBeforeBloom

Durable change happens with teachers, not to them. Fort Worth educators and families deserve collaboration, clear timelines, and honest metrics—before anyone redraws your district. #FortWorthISD #EduLeadership #PublicEducation #TeacherVoice #EducationReform

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 14

Fort Worth, watch the playbook: centralize power, praise ‘gains,’ ignore the grind. Teachers pay the price. #FortWorthISD #TXEd #EduLeadership #MaslowBeforeBloom #TeacherVoice

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 14

No phones can help focus—IF admin owns enforcement. Teachers didn’t sign up to be hall cops. #TeachDontPolice #CellPhoneBan #SupportTeachers #ClassroomCulture #TXEd

Follow the incentives. If procurement grows while prep periods shrink, we’ve mistaken measurement for education. Put dollars where learning lives: people and time. #FollowTheMoney #PublicEducation #TeacherWorkload #FundOurClassrooms #TXEd

Testing vendors shouldn’t be the best-funded part of the classroom. #FollowTheMoney #StandardizedTesting #FundOurClassrooms #TXEd #EducationReform

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 13

Through-year testing can help instruction—IF stakes drop and support rises. Faster scores are good. But if the end-of-year exam still drives ratings, we multiplied tests, not learning. #Assessment #STAAR #StandardizedTesting #TXEd #TeacherSupport

If we want readers, we invest in access: staffed libraries, time to read, diverse books. Cutting library services is cutting oxygen to literacy. #Libraries #Reading #PublicEducation #FundOurClassrooms #Literacy

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 12

Librarians are literacy infrastructure. Full stop. #Libraries #Reading #PublicEducation #FundOurClassrooms #TXEd

Cutting one big STAAR into three short tests just turns a stress boulder into stress pebbles. Still heavy. #STAAR #StandardizedTesting #Assessment #TXEd #EducationReform

Teachers in Transition @beyondteaching.bsky.social · Sep 11

Data should guide instruction, not brand people after the fact. If we promise quicker scores, let’s guarantee quicker support—tutors, time, staffing—so results matter. #Assessment #StandardizedTesting #EducationReform #TXEd #TeacherSupport
