I can’t sing the praises of #WordPress #security firm @sucurisecurity loudly enough! I’m SO pleased with their help, support & service! :-)

@mcappsparks But, we’ve got to “be the change” here… If we don’t try, who will? It’s a “grand challenge” but fortunately we have very powerful tools…
@mcappsparks I totally agree it can be incredibly frustrating & overwhelming to think about, & esp consider trying to address / fix / improve #OklaEd
@mcappsparks I think part of that answer has to do with a lack of involvement in the political process. We need to empower & encourage more participation

@mcappsparks the mantra “run education like a business” is less an operational philosophy & more of an excuse to do things which harm children :-(
@AndreaGorney We should see if other state models exist. @NElovesPS is an organizational approach similar in its goals… We need @vperezy involved!
bridgestyler Hey #okleg, this is part of the problem! They know where to come for good Ts that want better pay. They come to #oklaed to recruit! twitter.com/usd480boemembe…
James409Jason I want to remind all our POLs & those who tend to make big promises that Talk is Cheap. #oklaed is facing its 6th declining budget in a row
@James409Jason Sadly, although there are many factors, I think our state budget trend lines are by design not accident… #oklaed #OkLeg
GauntTonya As an #oklaed Teacher, Thank you @shawnhime for helping us stay informed as we educate our children in the great state of OK❤️
@angmlittle @shawnhime Thanks so much for everything both of you do! We need to creatively amplify more #OklaEd voices for #OkLeg to hear
angmlittle @shawnhime Great chat tonight! I am always excited for the Legislative topics!! Thanks for all you do!! #oklaed
PBerkenbile #oklaed Dr Phil Berkenbile, Morrison School Board Member
@PBerkenbile Thanks for your participation in tonight’s chat, by the way. Great to see school board members here! #oklaed
@PBerkenbile You are right. Perhaps we need an #EdCamp style retreat to brainstorm and plan new approaches? #oklaed
PBerkenbile @OklaEd How are we as board members, able to rehire staff & replacements, when no one can give us an idea on budget dollars?
PBerkenbile #oklaed. Most of the things we are talking about, haven’t worked. We must think of putting more pressure on the right people.
grendelrick If we’re cutting positions again this summer, I don’t plan on telling any POLs “thanks for trying.” No moral victories here. #oklaed twitter.com/James409Jason/…
AndreaGorney @wfryer We could create a video montage of classrooms around the state and send it in
@AndreaGorney That is a great idea! Crowd sourced video is a very real possibility to amplify more voices for #oklaed in #OkLeg
@mcappsparks Yes, it’s terrible and very undemocratic… It’s a state tradition that needs to change… @davidfholt has been trying #oklaed
@jenncruz3032 well said, I definitely agree #oklaed
kasnelson A9b: Rep @mikeasanders follows our school & myself on fb, but he also INTERACTS. He’s in touch with schools across his district. #Oklaed
participatechat #oklaed just ended! Transcripts and curated resources are now available at participate.com/chats/oklaed
Lsooner2 A9) ❤️ #oklaed chats, as a P this forum helps me understand the issues so I can effectively communicate w my Legs!
macydg A9) Watch live feeds at okhouse.gov/Video/Default.… The conversations on the floor can be more eye opening than emails and press #oklaed
angmlittle A9) As my very wise dad told me this weekend - The State Capitol was built for the people. The paid lobbyists came second. #oklaed
jenncruz3032 A9) Boulders are smoothed by both dripping and gushing water, sometimes we need to drip and other times we need to gush to be heard #oklaed
room20awesome @shawnhime thanks for a great chat! We can never give up…our kids deserve better! #oklaed
edgeblogger Many of our best young teachers are leaving the state or the profession altogether. It’s real. New post: goo.gl/LZYviX #oklaed pic.twitter.com/CdIP1ZbjZI
@AndreaGorney “The local resonates more loudly than the distant.” Perhaps we need an Oklahoma version to share? #oklaed
@JefferyCorbett Someone certainly could publish a list of where legislators send their children to school… #oklaed
allen_lehman A8 One conversation from ten thousand people will make a far impact than ten thousand conversations from a hundred people…#oklaeded
angmlittle A9) I take PAID TIME OFF to visit the Capitol and share thoughts with #okleg I also set up calls after work hours to discuss. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
@phhscience Yes, but in Oklahoma we are now 50th in the nation for teacher salaries. I think we are at the bottom of the barrel… #oklaed
bridgestyler A9: Text and phone calls mainly, face-to-face as much as I can. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
I’ve added several new members to #OklaEd Twitter list during tonight’s chat twitter.com/wfryer/lists/o… Be sure to follow & add to @Flipboard
sherrydurkee A8) By focusing on solutions and having insightful conversations. Share the reality of the district impact. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
coach57 We have to tell our stories and encourage everyone to put Kids first #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…

@OSSBAoklahoma @KennedyAPR @James409Jason thanks! #oklaed
OSSBAoklahoma The very real effect of #oklaed budget cuts through the eyes of a teacher (shared w/ permission). pic.twitter.com/8Xujjdlb32
@mcappsparks Yes absolutely, but doesn’t the governor only present the budget 1 day before the end of the session? This must change #oklaed
mcappsparks A7 it has to be part of a larger revamping of the state economic foundation. the whole budget must be reconstructed at this point. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
ClaudiaSwisher A7 — let’s raise O&G taxes to regional average…and stop the income tax cuts. Before we raise fees on working poor. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
room20awesome @michale_gentry @OSSBAoklahoma Our 3rd grade classes are sitting at 31 Ss per class. #oklaed
@room20awesome @michale_gentry @OSSBAoklahoma That is absolutely NOT right. We should not stand for this as taxpayers & citizens #oklaed
AndreaGorney #OklaEd A7) Large oil/gas corps want to stop their tax cuts-we MUST give this money back to schools! Is Gov.Fallon considering???
aimeegarrett5 A7: restructure the tax system #oklaed
@allen_lehman No, that is the center of gravity. That is the number one issue I think we can only address with a populist movement #oklaed
allen_lehman A7 Is it Pollyanna of me to hope that someday large corporate stakeholders somehow start feeling responsibility to contribute? #oklaed
ShelbyJr3 The morale!! Oomph we are on the struggle bus 🚌👩🏻🏫#oklaed twitter.com/kathysdunn/sta…
KathySDunn A6: Perhaps greatest impact is in morale. We’ve rallied together 2 many times 2 make it thru a bad time & the good time never came. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
James409Jason We must stop celebrating the ideology of being selfish & minimizing the costs of living in a great state - Fund core services first #OklaEd
#oklaed A7 We need to compare our state taxation rates for corporations (including oil & gas) to states like North Dakota. And adjust…
@gmccortney @James409Jason We need to push for an earlier presentation of the state budget so real debate & negotiation can happen #oklaed
OSSBAoklahoma Here is the district-by-district breakdown of cuts so far #oklaed ossba.org/wp-content/upl… twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
@shetherington13 Not a good recipe for job satisfaction and continuity in our classrooms… 🙁#oklaed
angmlittle Don’t forget Speaker @charles_mccall3 and Rep @leslieosborn1 this session has really given me hope!! #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
shawnhime A4 Thanks to House and Senate leadership most bad #OklaEd bills are gone @jonechols @HouseRogers @SenStanislawski @smalley101 @scottcmartin
James409Jason Anyone else in #oklaed see the tweet about the Spanish T being let go and foreign language programs being cut? Sad
@James409Jason no, can you share that one? #oklaed
shawnhime A6 $86.6Million 2017 #OklaEd Budget Cuts pic.twitter.com/chwMJ4Ko5t
@SappingtonTony @jasonbengs But we are not alone. This is happening nationwide & manifesting itself here in our state as well #OklaEd
SappingtonTony #oklaed It’s called a political agenda! That is what is and has been so wrong with our state for a long time… twitter.com/jasonbengs/sta…
jasonbengs A5 So #okleg is for parent voice when it comes to vouchers, but not when it comes to 3rd graders? Anyone else see a conflict? #oklaed
dena_rogers A6 - T’s have bigger classes, fewer resources, and larger expectations. Quality T’s and Admin are getting out. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
#oklaed So thankful to see so many Oklahoma school superintendents in our chat tonight. Thank you so much for your continued leadership!
HustedKelly Everything is on the table and I mean everything. Reduction of everything including a school day #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
coach57 #cpsreds down $330,000 and expecting another $250K. Still keeping cuts away from students #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
grendelrick A6 #oklaed bigger classes, fewer electives, reduced funding for activities, teachers and principals leaving faster than ever twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
amybbednarz It angers me so much. I have friends there struggling to work 2 jobs. I was shocked when I found that out #oklaed twitter.com/mcvay51/status…
mcvay51 @amybbednarz This is the tweet of the night. If this doesn’t crack valentines across OK it’s because people aren’t paying attention.
amybbednarz @mcvay51 I made 34K in Tulsa. One year later here in Boston I made $70k. Same job same responsibilities #oklaed.
“Tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean” via @jasonbengs #OklaEd en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus
@jasonbengs @James409Jason Who knew I would get a great vocabulary lesson in tonight’s #OklaEd chat?! :-)
jasonbengs @James409Jason Who knew becoming an #oklaed T would be so Sisyphean in regards to the #okleg not the Ss.
givepullorpitch Q1: I wish I could quit asking good people to do more with less for less pay. #oklaed twitter.com/DeanGarn/statu…
#oklaed Amen to this. Our state legislative budget process is highly undemocratic :-( twitter.com/lsmellott/stat…
lsmellott #oklaed A4: Waiting to the last minute to propose a budget so that we can get rid of the deficit; then, hopefully, focus back on education,
@PhynyxRising @lindahaslerreid @classofcruse A college education is a must for every certified teacher in our state & nation. 2/2 #OklaEd
@PhynyxRising @lindahaslerreid @classofcruse Add me to the chorus of those disagreeing with you on this. 1/2 #OklaEd
collums_dawn A3) anything attempting to manage the impact (damage) of the 3rd grade retention legislation.#oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
grendelrick A4 The one that waters down science. That would make us a bigger national joke than the 4 day weeks state leaders hate. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
KathySDunn #oklaed I risked my fledgling career in 1979 to rally for smaller class size, again in 89-90. Guess what? It’s still a critical need! #4kids twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
@TeachFromHere educational accountability legislation we have has to do with politics, not what is best for children, unfortunately #oklaed
ClaudiaSwisher Too many ways to count, but: 1. Feds don’t require, and 2. Measures poverty, not achievement. #oklaed twitter.com/nancope/status…
angmlittle A3b) HB 1114 by @HouseRogers was very important but it died in the senate. Teachers need a raise!! #oklaed
nancy_nwilliams A3 I have no idea about anything they are addressing except the budget or lack there of. #oklaed
amybbednarz I tell colleagues how bad it is there and they can’t believe it #oklaed
CoachGower S/O to @shawnhime for leading the #oklaed chat. 4th generation Oklahoma teacher/coach here. Worried about what lies ahead of us. @OklaEd
grendelrick A3 #oklaed RSA - any chance we have to keep control of student placement in the hands of teachers and parents is critical. twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
aplank10 A1: Legislative: Many teachers in OK are not paid enough for their expertise. Non-legislative: Inspire students to be teachers. #oklaed
Biobellrocks A2: finding qualified applicants is a constant challenge. It’s difficult to promote a profession the lacks respect from its own leg #oklaed
angmlittle @shawnhime A2) Class sizes are much larger than they should be in classrooms built for 20. #oklaed
bridgestyler A2: Less # of qualified applicants for openings. We probably also let some Ts go longer than what we would if we had more apps. #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
shawnhime A2 - #OklaEd Teacher-Student Ratio Change pic.twitter.com/tGVMuxJJ8Z
classofcruse Class sizes are climbing, not enough text books, desks falling apart, not replacing Ts who leave, not enough secretaries… #oklaed twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
James409Jason T is a mentally taxing job - adding more Ss increases the mental load on a T burn out sets in faster & learning efficiencies decline #OklaEd
grendelrick A2 #oklaed To everything, churn, churn churn! Good people are leaving the profession. Ts have always had option; more are taking them. twitter.com/shawnhime/stat…
GauntTonya A1B: veteran Ts have to keep telling the positive things going on in #oklaed…positive posts and showcasing our awesome schools important!
jlreed2011 A2) We have fewer offerings for our Ss and crowded classrooms. We lost 20 Ts this year and another 4 for next year. #oklaed
macydg A1) Also, this…
youtube.com/watch?v=zSYe9b…
#oklaed
bridgestyler A1: Non-legislatively we must continue to push for dialogue that is respectful of #oklaed. Many #okleg do not ever speak favorably of us.
kennethdward And please make sure we aren’t telling our S’s not be teachers when they want to be! #oklaed twitter.com/mcdonaldclay/s…
kennethdward A1 hard to see many solutions prior to T Pay & funding in general. Community/business partnerships can help #oklaed
@gmccortney Welcome! #oklaed
gmccortney Greg McCortney, State Senator District 13. #oklaed
James409Jason A1b). Non legislative things are to change the climate in which Ts are looked upon by society #OklaEd
friEdTechnology A1 I have been working with some awesome OK teachers lately and they tell me standardized testing is REALLY dragging them down #oklaed
JasonPerez75 A: Legislatively we can’t stop with just a pay raise. We need a funded teacher-leader model, mentoring program, an support for PD. #oklaed
#oklaed A1 We need to highlight the critical need for generous, not just “adequate” school funding in the eyes of Oklahoma taxpayers
