If you truly care about the self-care of your teachers, quit talking about it and provide the one thing that will help enable it—time. @edutopia @MCUSDSupe

My university son said: “I don’t look at my grades. I look at the teachers’ feedback.” My heart is singing!❤️Growth mindset at the post secondary level….one kid/one teacher at a time!

It's time! Our discipline protocols are now being informed by science! I have created six templates from what I've shared this week for you to share with your districts and communities... we need to focus on emotional and mental readiness and then the learning gaps will close!

Start by avoiding a sense of finality in grading. As student (and educator) mental health becomes a priority, find ways to increase flexibility, support, and an attitude of continuous improvement. @edutopia @edtech4change ow.ly/qHHN50CAAvK

You're not grading assignments.
You're collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing them towards their next steps.
Make the mental switch. It matters.

Desks separated in rows were not working.
I wanted the kids to be safe in their own space in the classroom but I needed them to to still be able to connect with their peers. I couldn’t easily make my way around the room with bags & desks everywhere.
Came up with this.
