Educators, after one week of remote learning with my own kids, my reflections are: Slow down; ease up on the number of daily messages/updates (it’s tough to keep up); slim-down workload; be patient; STOP using grades as a threat. Show grace and flexibility.

I've been asked my reaction to schools' having temporarily stopped grading students because of online instruction challenges due to the pandemic. Hmm. What would your reaction be to news that the CIA had ordered a brief moratorium on waterboarding prisoners due to a drought?

Meanwhile, over here with my dad starting the groundwork for our neighborhood polevault pit! Maybe I’ll get to use it if I don’t take out my leg first with a sledgehammer 🤓🤦🏼‍♀️

In the midst of unprecedented chaos and a disruption to our sense of normal, we have to remember that learning has never required a school building #HipHopEd

Woody & Buzz got this one right... Surrounding onesself with those who think like you or will always agree with you doesn't offer room for personal and/or team growth. The best team (or coaching staff) is diverse in strengths & capabilities.

Wow! Nearly 700 students came through the past four days to see what we are up to. Thanks to all the current students and staff that helped make this happen. Course registration opens in a couple of weeks - hoping to see many of these young people again next school year.

"Emotion and learning are completely connected." Research shows that students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. #HowLearningHappens
