Lots of kids come to school with their invisible backpacks, weighted with struggles.
Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, lack of physical needs, loneliness, anger, sadness, & hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen.
Notice & love them instead.
This week an unarmed female teacher threw her cellphone at an active shooter, physically attacked him, and fought to get a pump action shotgun out of the 16 year old’s hands, after shooting other children and adults, and right before a parent shot him.
I can’t stop thinking about it.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon: "AI is definitely a tool used correctly. I've seen it in action. I have visited the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where they use AI for the first two hours every single morning. The students have their headsets on, they are watching their computers ... it is incredibly effective"

The cheapest ticket for this weekend’s LSU-Ole Miss game is $620 and the average purchase price over the last 24 hours is $811.
That makes it the most expensive event ever in the state of Mississippi.

Love these! Statements like this help with cognitive flexibility! #JoyfulLeaders
Growth mindset is often reduced to effort, but effort alone is not the goal.
Students grow when they learn to change strategies, examine mistakes, use feedback, break challenges into manageable steps, and notice evidence of their own progress.
The most effective classroom language does not simply encourage students to continue. It helps them understand how to move forward.
