What is more important? Your content, or your students? If a student’s well-being is important, are you actually prioritizing your priorities? #neuraled #teachers #onlinelearning

Suggestion here: Instead of pushing out content, or classes and activities, can we spend the first week of school (or longer) teaching students HOW to be an online student? Let them get familiar with the platforms and technology first. Teachers too. #reimagineWaED #neuraled #

All. Of. This. I've been asking this every day and at EVERY meeting. It's not even about asking what IS my job as an educator; we have an opportunity to ask what do I WANT my job as an educator to be? We have an opportunity to be better. Do better. #neuraled #knowbetterdobetter
So, we trying to make learning happen? Or are we just trying to make school happen? Little confused right now.

Last week I got the chance to share my passion for assessment and talk about why the way we typically use grades in school is bad for kids and good for systems. Her's the recording: youtu.be/K6ho7eNKUQo #assessment #masterychat #virtuallearning

“The stress response is more damaging than the stressor itself” - Fr. Robert Sapolsky #neuraled #knowbetterdobetter #raftingup
Loyalty to your art is not the same thing as loyalty to a mentor or brand. They are mutually exclusive. In fact, I would argue that staying "loyal" to a mentor or brand, in lieu of seeking growth opportunities for your own art, is, in fact, DISloyal to your art.

Friendly reminder: Holding students accountable for doing work and holding students accountable for learning are not the same thing. Not-so-friendly reminder: Confusing those two does damage to kids, their love of learning, and their futures. Stop it.
