12 Things Kids Want from Their Teachers

So, I closed my facebook account and signed up for Twitter. Instead of celebrities, humorists, and athletes, I decided to follow educators. Angela Maiers is a name that came up on a list of suggested tweeters. In addition to her tweets, she maintains a blog, writes books, gives talks, has a family, etc. Whew. 

This is an important list because it's so easy to fly from 8:05a to 3:20p, cramming as much crap as possible into the day, and forget that we're dealing with children. Not objects. Not numbers. In fact, they are the babies that other people had. 

Click the title to see the list and her blog.

As an added bonus, here is a video of her talk, You Matter. The video is a bit wonky, but the audio works fine, so don't freak out.
