Tomorrow I get to see my students for the first time since this moment! To say I am excited is an understatement!
Math teacher @MrsCBowden got the surprise of her career: the "Oscars of teaching" #MilkenAward. In high school she watched her mentor @coachnicks get the same honor. Excellence inspires excellence! @mrscbowden @AndoverSchools @ACMS_Jaguars @bwhite385supt @ksdehq @KsCommissioner

Itโ€™s been my goal the last two weeks to try to laugh or get my students to laugh each hour. It is transforming my overall mood and progressing relationships rapidly!! Give it a try!!

Feedback! Often a pain point during projects and papers. Students have difficulty being specific while providing peer feedback. Soโ€ฆ we decided to practice! We recreated โ€˜Austinโ€™s Butterfly exampleโ€™ in our classroom! We now have something to reference in future projects! ๐Ÿฆ‹

This weekend at @KansasLeads, a presenter talked about creating an environment in which a student feels safe enough that they accidentally call you mom! It happened today!! The student doesnโ€™t even realize how great of a compliment that was! ๐Ÿค

FUN FACT: @coachnicks (KS '09) has mentored and inspired a new generation of outstanding educators! #MilkenAward recipients Ryan Pfeifer (KS '21), Kristine Becker (KS '22) and @MrsCBowden (KS '19) were all students in Brad's high school classroom.
