Consistently reminding students that refining their skills comes from attempting tasks and learning from errors can serve as a potent motivator for sustained focus.

This week we put out the final episode of Crash Course Black American History. We worked on this series for over 3 years and put out 51 episodes spanning the transatlantic slave trade to the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m so proud of what we made.

Students in a highly effective classroom average a cumulative 90 minutes of daily reading. We cannot teach reading effectively without ensuring we are creating time and opportunity for our students to have their eyes on text.

Talk about a persuasive speech!
"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," climate activist Greta Thunberg tells the UN. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you." cnn.it/2mAXVQb

My students wrote a persuasive speech three weeks ago with the attempt of convincing @EvaDivaWilliams to donate more games to our class during recess. We were surprised today by Mr. Persampieri, Ms. Trahan and Ms. Simpson. Thank you for your generosity and love! @SyracuseSchools
