Educators, Parents, Students, Anyone Who Needs to Hear This:
Take a deep breath. Go easy on yourself. Youβre not failing. This is just really hard.
You donβt have to be perfect today. All you have to be is a little better than you were yesterday.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.
We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Kenβs wishes and honour his legacy.

With some schools opening in person and some schools opening online, I hope standardized tests will also be exempt for this school year along with state teacher evals. This would allow more flexibility for creativity & innovation by teachers and students.

Do you wonder if teachers/ principals are left out of the big picture ed conversation because if the public found out they are the real experts, people would realize politicians, boards, & some district positions aren't that important or even necessary in educational decisions.

Teachers, remember you are not in competition with each other, but you're on the same team. And admin shouldnβt be the only ones to encourage, support, & inspire. Motivate each other! Build each other up, including staff and your administrators.

Schools are influenced more by it's informal culture than by their mission statement, policies & procedures. Having strong, supportive, positive relationships, a unified vision, and team mentality is what makes a school great, not the statement hanging in the hallway.

Georgia is suspending standardized testing for the upcoming school year & formal teacher evals and are seeking to permanently cut certain tests. This will also save $10's of millions from the budget that can be used toward teacher pay, etc. Let's hope other states step up!

The Arts, PE, recess and play arenβt just important for students to grow emotionally, socially, & academically, but they may be the main reason that some students enjoy coming to school.

Congratulations to Shanley's Senior Athletes of the Year: @reilepayne and @kava_21. These two have joined a prestigious list within the halls of Shanley. Fun fact: father Dustin Payne & older brother Jake Kava are also part of this list from previous years. #excellence

In case you need a reminder:
- This wonβt last forever
- Life will feel normal again
- Weβre all in this together.
- Youβre not wrong. Youβre not weak. Youβre not overreacting. This sucks.
Stay strong!

There will be no high stakes testing this year, and yet all over America educators have continued to teach and inspire their students online. I hope the powers that be realize we do what we do because we love children and not because a test is held over our heads.

Experiencing the parent-side of online learning. Itβs 9:30am, and all 3 of my kids have required parent support. Has me thinking about kids without support right now. Educators, above all else, please show grace, patience and flexibility during this time.

1/4 Thoughts Iβve had since the weekendβ¦Iβve been seeing a lot of praise for educators and administrators throughout this past week, (and deservedly so! )But I havenβt seen as many accolades for our incredible students! They are learning true self-discipline, and independence.

What educators/parents are prioritizing to help kids right now:
-Instruction
-Technology
-Relationships
What nobody is talking about to help kids:
-State Tests
Let that sink in, & think hard about what might need to change when we return. #BoldSchool #edchat #QuarantineLife
