Today, I celebrate my 2,000th class session @UCRiverside @UCRExtension. Since my professional #educator journey began in 2004, I've taught over 10,000 #projectmanagement students from 56 countries. Honored to be part of such a wonderful institution. #highereducation

I am a citizen of the world. Today, I am Ukrainian. 🇺🇦

While grades may be a measure of student learning, they are not a predictor of human potential. ⁣#education #academictwitter #teachertwitter

How can I be a credible advocate for lifelong #learning if I am not a learner myself? I work hard to model the behavior I seek to instill in my #students. 💯 How are you working to improve? What #class are you taking to enhance your skills? #teachertwitter #academictwitter

I have not taught in a classroom in over a year. However, even with vaccines, education will never be the same. ⁣ ⁣ It will be better. ⁣ Less about degrees and more about learning how to think. Less about jobs and more about staying employable for life. #education #highered

You cannot honestly know what to believe until you learn how to think. These are my top six #book selections for improving your #criticalthinking skills. @kahneman_daniel @danlevitin @AdamMGrant @presjimryan @mkonnikova @HeadScratchers

Your identity is always a work in progress. Your past self does not define your future destiny. Boldly chase your dreams. #education #Leadership #selfdevelopment #befutureproof

These are my top six book selections for improving your negotiation skills. Negotiation is a critical thinking and conflict management skill that holds the key to getting ahead at work, resolving conflicts, and maintaining solid relationships. #business #negotiation #education

Our outcomes are a lagging measure of our habits. If we can get 1 percent better at something every day for one year, we'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time we are finished. Remember, habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. @JamesClear #learning

If you enjoy my #education and #teacher-focused content on Twitter, follow me on #instagram @ michaelptoothman. The same great content along with an occasional silly dog photo.

Today, in celebration of Mother’s Day, I post my favorite photograph (because I took it) of my mother, Sandy. She has always been my role model for love, acceptance, and the virtues of family. Everything I am is because of her. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! #MothersDay

People have it twisted. Immortality is not living forever - it is being valuable, relevant, and making a difference forever. #quoteoftheday #education #futureofwork

Preliterate children's brain scans revealed crucial #reading circuitry flickering to life when kids hand-printed letters and then tried to read them. The effect largely disappeared when the letters were typed or traced. #teachertwitter #classroom

When students are learning a new language, ask them to act out vocabulary words. It’s fun to unleash a child’s inner thespian, of course, but a study concluded that it also nearly doubles their ability to remember the words months later. #learning #classroom #teachertwitter

Less than an hour before I partner with @ToddMcLees @LDiasAmador and @TamarBurton to discuss how to futureproof our students to help them achieve occupational immortality.
