The most important factor in education isn't computers or curriculum, but connections.

Thank you @MrsFarleyDLC for launching the Digital Citizenship program so creatively in class today! Students were excited to unpack their “survival kits” and relate the items inside to responsible internet behaviors. Students impressed us with the connections they made!

Just remember…one party doesn’t give a crap about public schools. The other just pretends to. That’s who we have. 😔😡 #EdChat #EduTwitter @POTUS @FLOTUS

Think about the message this sends by averaging scores over time to calculate a grade.
It tells kids that where you start will nearly set in stone your future.
That message has absolutely no place in our schools, and yet this happens in most US classrooms.
It needs to stop.

Reminder: you don’t need to do a “diagnostic” test on the first day or week, even. Also, you can leave that syllabus for another day too.

Just your regular reminder that preaching growth mindset while calculating final grades by averaging scores over time is the same as smiling at someone while you slap them.

SCHOOL ADMINS:
We teachers are starting the school year broken.
I know you know this because we haven’t been quiet about it.
We do not need new software or literacy training this year. We don’t need to analyze data.
We just need time to plan, heal, and teach.

Back-to-School Tip:
Create a "classroom tour" video w/ your phone. Then post it online (e.g. Flipgrid) for incoming students to view. Let them get a glimpse of your room & hear your voice. Imagine the impact this can have on those anxious about starting school.

Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees, and titles.
Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility, and generosity.
