I hope everyone who is interested in education will listen. Those of us in ed, especially public ed, understand what a labor of love our jobs are. We continually have convos about how to be better so we can more effectively serve our Ss. Our work is difficult but is worth it.

This is a major problem in many schools and districts because textbook companies often ignore current research. In most cases, there are few or zero options for teachers to use real books. This is a travesty, and we must do better. Reading real books leads to deeper learning.

I just learned that Wonders is the most-used elementary ELA curriculum in Massachusetts, according to CEMD, in addition to its popularity in CA, FL, and TX.

Today I had the honor of being on Google Meet while 1 of my senior ed students submitted her #edtpa. In pics you see anxiety, frustration, determination, & joy as she worked out a few last min issues and then submitted her portfolio. Can't wait to see her scores in a few weeks!

All these breathless pieces asking breathlessly โhow do we retain teachers?!โ
Itโs not that complicated.
Enforce a discipline policy. Donโt micromanage. Give them a good curriculum.
Create the conditions that make the job a joy to do (as it should be)

The teacher's working environment is the student's learning environment. That's why PD should be focused on inspiring, affirming, and helping teachers be their best self. Doctorbradjohnson.com

This quote from @PamelaSnow2 is one of my favourites from this year. Such a powerful statement. Children's instructional time is invaluable, and we have an ethical duty to ensure it's used effectively and responsibly.
