AMEN HALLELUJAH & louder for y’all in the back... or @PADeptofEd @BetsyDeVosED – at Pennsylvania, USA
EVERY state should excuse ALL Standardized Testing for the 2020-21 academic year.
Schools have enough to worry about the next 8 months. #EdChat
Ready to start year 30 in the classroom and how better to prepare then buy snagging these jumbo paper clips! Can’t wait to clip together lab reports, note summaries, & all the rest! #officesuppliesforthewin #year30 #letsgo #aahs

If we were actually serious about student success, we’d do some obvious things:
• Start school later
• Stop stretching the day just to cram more in
• Protect arts, PE, and recess
• Build around kids’ strengths, not just what they miss
• Let students think, create, and explore
• Stop letting tests drive everything
• Make school enjoyable again
• Notice and celebrate growth
Most of this isn’t radical.
It’s just common sense we keep ignoring

New study finds education research is out of touch w/the needs of teachers:
Equity, social justice, & identity appeared 2x the frequency of any other area in American Educational Research Association meetings
But teachers’ top concerns were far more practical, like student behavior and discipline…
The few discussions tackling discipline focused on restorative justice, which places greater burdens on teachers

8 of the Costliest Areas of Waste in School District Spending
1. Administrative Bloat
2. Underutilized Facilities
3. Inefficient technology purchases. Schools often buy expensive or quickly outdated technology without a clear implementation plan, resulting in wasted funds
4. Overpriced Textbooks & Materials
5. Ineffective PD
6. Failing to Evaluate Programs…Districts frequently implement new initiatives without properly assessing their effectiveness, leading to repeated cycles of expensive but ineffective programs
7. Legal Fees and Lawsuits…Many districts face high costs from lawsuits, often due to poor policy enforcement, special education disputes, or mismanagement
8. Poor Use of Federal or Grant Funds... Mostly due to poor regulation

WAYS TO IMPROVE Education
1. Stop viewing our kids as numbers
2. Provide actual consequences for students
3. Kids need physical play/exercise
4. Provide more supports for teachers
5. Provide teachers more prep time
6. Smaller class sizes
7. Increase teacher salaries

This isn’t about teachers not wanting to work outside of their contract, it’s the fact that teachers are asked to do more and more each year with no additional time or pay to do it. It’s not sustainable.
Happy Gotcha Day Franklin! 3 yrs ago he became our class pet and has been a cranky, funny little guy ever since! He’s met 100s in that time & has been a great ambassador for reptiles everywhere! He used to fit in the palm of my hand & now he’s fills my arm! #classpet
