This week remember that
✨Everyday is a new day
✨There will be challenges but you’re equipped to handle them
✨You can’t do it all
✨Every interaction counts

I think that portfolios have tons of potential, particularly in an ELA classroom.

Here is the blog post I promised. It talks about the recent NY Times article criticizing the work of Lucy Calkins. It looks at ALL the research as it defends the use of Balanced Literacy practices. doctorsam7.blog/2022/05/27/a…

While the new research is important, it takes nothing away from the work Lucy Caulkins has done to give students and teachers voice and choice. Empowering students to become authors is vital for developing the motivation to both read & write. via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2022/05/22/us/re…

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson made history today. Judge Jackson is a hero to so many Americans across our country. She will be the first Black woman on the highest court in the land.

We aren't doing best for our students if we aren't doing best for our teachers.

Students work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

Imagine a teacher giving female students an 83% on a test when they all earned a 100%.
Or, even after getting a 100%, giving:
- a Black female student a 64%
- a Native female student a 60%
- a Hispanic female student a 57%
Yet, this is where the pay gap is at. #EqualPayDay
