At @EHSFrisco you can see our @EmersonPals use this. In our most recent project, students are creating a product to be used to educate the school during Red Ribbon Week in future years. Students CHOOSE what they cover and how they do it. They have VOICE in future improvement.

Unfortunately, math has been a gatekeeper for too long. Math should be opening doors, not closing them.

When we act like we’re happy to see our students… they will end up being happier to see us.

Our students’ mental health is way more important than their grades. #CodeBreaker

You are 50% of every interaction you have with another person. You can always make sure at least half the conversation is positive, peaceful, and productive.

Education is often focused on planning lessons, covering curriculum, assessing learning, and rightly so. But we should be equally committed to relating to our students, caring for their hearts, and nurturing their strengths.

Students are naturally motivated by an idea or concept they care about. Now is the time to support independence and creativity by assigning projects that allow students to choose content that interests them. ow.ly/DiDg50zgsP8

On a webinar learning about emergency education funding due to COVID-19 & was just reminded that 22 MILLION students nationwide depend on school for two of their three meals a day. Let's keep that in mind when we decide what to prioritize in our current landscape.

Seeing many posts about how teachers shouldn't be grading work/learning during eLearning time. Many cite access and equity as primary reasons. My question is, why is it ok to assign and grade work done at home during normal school time? Access and equity remain an issue.
