Okay, so I had thought I’d live tweet read @mdawriter’s Becoming a Teacher but the writing is so good, I am just letting myself be carried away by the story of Ms. Hall through which so much about the teaching journey can be learned 1/

That being said, I am tweeting this quote from p. 75, “Preparation and self-education underlie all good teaching. It is a cycle of forward thinking that never really stops.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Amen. 2/

Also, so many thanks to @laquisha_hall for opening her practice to @mdawriter so that we could all learn and have this gift of a book to support others who are becoming teachers 3/

Okay and @msgarcia721, you need to read chapter 7 of becoming a teacher, “If you take all of the good teachers out to the classroom, where are we going to get more good teachers from?” This reminds me so much of you ❤️ 4/

“For good teaching to prosper, some basic rules apply: respect teacher expertise, ask teachers what they need to do their best work and what gets in the way & give teachers opportunities to improve their practice & grow” - @mdawriter Becoming a Teacher, p. 107 5/

I feel this quote from @laquisha_hall: “If I’m not socially, emotionally sound, how can I help a student?” #BecomingaTeacher 6/
