Week three is almost in the books! My highlight is the story a student wrote where I was zombie.

What if grades, instead of being viewed as indicators of learning, were regarded as indicators of teaching?
Wonder if those still grasping onto grades as accurate reflections of student learning would loosen their hold?

I dream of a system where instead of kids asking,
“Is this gonna be graded?”
They ask,
“Is this gonna help me grow?”
Kids ain’t to blame. We created the script. We can change the script.
Time for a new conversation.
Change the conversation. Change the system.

First day of school! noticed my mask was chaffing my nose from it moving when I spoke. Swapped it out for a different one.
On a better note, Vashti's Dot helped set the tone for the year. youtu.be/Clpw7PG7m1Q
