It has been such an incredible experience seeing children play with other children again this week! ❀️🌳 Something we took for granted just a few months ago....is now desperately needed in unimaginable ways.

This makes so much sense. This is what I have to do right now, or I will be paralyzed.

ATTN Teachers!! What do we call all the work we do that is not classroom instruction? I'm looking for a descriptive term that will include things like grading, communicating with staff/parents, PD, collaborating, etc.

Remember when they said we need state tests & report cards because otherwise teachers & principals would slack off? Well, testing & state report cards are canceled and all I see are teachers & principals working harder than ever before. Let’s trust our professionals.

Superintendents and admin, as you go back to school tomorrow, take a moment & breathe. Remember, your health & health of staff and students are more important than any program change you will implement for the next few weeks. Always people before programs! Especially in a crisis

LEADERS!!! Saying we’re all in this together is great...but when the world puts us in a position where we have to LIVE WHAT WE SAY...we better be ready. What is the EXTRA that keeps kids connected? #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership

Pssst...educators, here is your chance to play around with some Edtech platforms you didn’t have access to or didn’t have time to use before. Don’t take on a gazillion new things, just one...and implement it.

Instead of expecting teachers to plan "online schooling" for the next two weeks or more can we just STOP! They have families ( siblings, spouses, children, parents) that need their attention too and to take care of themselves. ENOUGH!

90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through a school year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, Autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval & almost no high stakes testing.
