An encouraging keynote from @Prof_F_Henshaw at #metech22. A great reminder that just because it's a "best practice" for a colleague, it may not be "best practice" for your classroom.

What if more substitute teachers isn’t the solution to the sub crisis? What if we rethink our assumptions about how to support learning when the classroom teacher isn’t there? Maybe the root cause isn’t about recruiting subs. Maybe we need to reinvent the entire experience.

A school bus driver acquaintance shared a post re. the common reasons we have a nation-wide driver shortage. A superior told him to remove it. If we keep pretending there are no problems in public education, the kids will keep suffering. Share your truth.
