🔍 Not completing homework is not proof of insufficient learning. Thus, missing homework shouldn't be recorded as a zero—it's simply missing data. Better, don't grade homework at all. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

⏰ Averaging grades over time is akin to saying "I don't care if my teaching had any impact on student learning." #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

Every kid deserves to be treated w/ love, dignity & grace. EVERY SINGLE. DAY. No matter what they’ve done. No matter what they’ve said. …No matter how they’ve treated you. Don’t be the person who adds to their trauma by giving up on them. Be their merchant of hope.

Students who are frequently called out for low-level misbehavior are more likely to become disengaged and apathetic in the classroom. The most effective classroom management strategies are based on building relationships. @borywrites @edutopia edutopia.org/article/tapping…
Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows? There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic

I shared this last year and it’s relevancy we still feel and experience!
Due to construction taking place at the current high school and junior high property, our previous traffic pattern had to be adjusted. Please take a moment to watch the video below that highlights the changes. ow.ly/ze4050KiaPb

If you want to succeed with a difficult kid… you have to separate the attitude from the student. You don’t lower your standards, but you understand that there is always something motivating the behavior. Understanding leads to empathy… and empathy makes relationships possible.
