While we reimagine what school should be in a post-pandemic / post-45 world: "If we haven't developed students' ability to read & write INSIDE science & social studies disciplines, then we are actually going to have long-term pain." youtu.be/LAWO2lvAnjI

Whether this is your first year teaching or your thirty first year teaching - we are about to embark on the most important school reopening in history. Never has empathy, patience and resilience been more important. We must work together. Together we are better. – at Essex, Ontario

3 things for teachers to remember:
1) Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It’s not a time for perfection; it’s a time for grace.
2) The students would still love to hear from you. Stay connected if you can.
3) Take care of yourself and your family. They’re still your #1.

Poverty is not:
- a lack of effort.
- a brain disease.
- a mindset or culture.
- a grit/resiliency shortage.
- a need to learn responsibility.
Unfortunately, in schools and nonprofits, this list captures with disturbing accuracy how poverty is often understood.

We NEED to teach science in elementary school. Why? Read this: stemteachingtools.org/brief/…

I do not know who needs to hear this, but you DO NOT have to assign math homework aka practice problems EVERY night for students to “get it”.
BTW homework shouldn’t count for a grade either.
