Educators have NOT been on spring break or summer vacation since March. Working from home is much harder than teaching at school.
I truly believe most educators would much rather be in a building, building relationships, seeing our students, and being with our colleagues. ♥️

We don’t have to share a Black person’s positive attributes when conveying that they died unjustly at the hands of police.
A criminal background is no excuse for police brutality. Neither is sagging pants or a short skirt. Or a “bad attitude.”
Black people deserve to live.

#ElemMathChat One of my undergrads who had worried about others being better than her, eloquently said "Social comparison is the thief of joy" So important not to compare ourselves to others.

Admin, Its not just students who need Maslow before Bloom. Teachers also need:
1) feel safe / supported
2) Volition/ sense of autonomy
3) attention/ appreciation
4) emotional connection/ relationship
5) value within the team – at Georgia, USA

What are students thinking about maths in the 2 activities in this film? Please share with any teachers still using timed tests. They are the beginning of maths anxiety for so many. The cool activity that is featured in the 2nd part of the film is in here: youcubed.org/evidence/fluenc… – at Santa Clara, CA

Work-life balance sets an unrealistic expectation of keeping different roles in steady equilibrium.
Instead, strive for work-life rhythm. Each week has a repeating pattern of beats—job, family, friends, health, hobbies—that vary in accent and duration.

This is my wonderful wife. Love her.
#Enneagramthrees Take breaks. You can drive yourself and others to exhaustion with your relentless pursuit of your goals. Ambition and self-development are good qualities, but temper them with rest periods in which you reconnect more deeply with yourself...

The whole world hasn’t gone mad. It’s always been this way. We just have Internet.
