Love this quote from The Construction Zone: “Too often, we misinterpret a student’s uncertainty as inability or resistance, when the problem actually lies in a lack on our part [to clarify our focus]” …we have to set our students up for success by being targeted and explicit.

It’s easy to focus on the negative in life. Whether it’s a curriculum that has been published, a cohort of students, or our education system in general, the negative is what consumes our thoughts. This is your reminder to look for the light. Find the good and share it. #teacher

Teaching reading and writing does not need to be complicated. It seems like the systems put in place are there as barriers to giving kids the education they need. #keepitsimple

Spend time organizing your classroom now to feel less stressed later! Still need labels but I’m getting so much closer to having all my things in their ‘new’ home. 👏🏼 #classroomorganization

I love a good challenge at the beginning of the year! Give students a set of cups to create various patterns by stacking using criteria: no one can touch the cups and everyone must work together. Hands down a favorite and a MUST this school year. 👏🏼

My students are the only good part of teaching this year. Everything else is questionable. #classroomstruggles

You should already know your students grade before they turn in their final writing draft. #thepowerofconferring Meet, review, reteach, repeat.

My son let me in on his hack for writing first drafts: Change the font color to white and just start typing. Later, change the font back to black to see how much you've written and then revise as needed. I LOVE his trick to keep writing momentum high! #TeachWrite

A3: One of my favorite lessons from @BreneBrown: “I am not here to be right, I am here to get it right” I think of this every day- with kids AND adults! #masterychat

I’m taking a series of courses in my MEd with @CapellaU that focus on personalization. Highly recommend if you are interested in mass customization and need help understanding and implementing this methodology. #flexpath #sponsored bit.ly/2KeGDml
