Kudos to @RowFn Andrew Jones for blasting away myths about proficiency based graduation here: rutlandherald.com/articles/m… #vted
Excited to hear that March is Community School Advocacy month! What better way to go even further with #personalization #proficiency and #flexiblepathways than to completely connect our school to our communities. They need each other now more than ever. #communityschools #vted xitter.cf/CommSchools/status/955…
Best advice I ever received from one of my mentors concerning apathetic, rebellious, callous, or defiant students: “Just love ‘em.”

A4: Maslow's hierarchy of needs visual on the wall as a regular reference. It emphasizes that learning can't happen if our other needs aren't met, so students (and teachers!) have to take care of themselves first, or no learning happens. #vted

A2: Talking openly about balance, self-compassion, and taking time for yourself is an important mental model for students. If most of the adults in their lives are running themselves ragged, how can they grow to be mentally healthy? #vted
