And the anchor on the news...And the weatherman...And the QB...And the commentator...And everyone except the ONE Black person. The point is: THEY GET TO CHOOSE! The only way to stop a Black child from ingesting this inescapable harm is to LITERALLY insulate them from whiteness

They can't comprehend because, even if there's 1 bad characterization of whiteness, there are ONE HUNDRED other characters in the book. Even when the villain in the TV show is white, so is the hero...And the hero's sidekick...And the lawyer...And the cop...And judge...

Why do we continue to insist that teachers can work miracles within a broken system, if only they rely on the data and research, rather than insist on fixing the system itself?

I wonder if #maslowbeforebloom applies to teachers this year? πŸ€”

This year is hard. My goals are to be kind to my students, coworkers, and self. My kindness will not wear itself in a smile, but in compassion & honesty. I am not here to be a superhero. We will learn math in a space that is safe enough to acknowledge the burdens carried into it.

I know I'm in the right job when my stress level goes from 15 out of 10 to 0 just by talking to my students. First webex office hours was small, but so good for my soul. #teachingfromhome

I need to apologize now. I just got on tiktok for the first time... and i can't not overwhelm your inbox with these videos!
I had a chance to go by shawneemissionnorthwest today. I gave it a hug from 6 feet away because I miss it so much, but also want to be responsible with social distancing. Until august😭 πŸ“·: @ashweestraws *No germs… instagram.com/p/B-NbZXFpWXV/…

After seeing my own face several times on webex today, I've decided that this is a terrible time to have bangs.

To my ones of followers: I hope you all are healthy and well! I miss your actual faces.

One chapter into what I'm sure will be my favorite book from grad school. Now partway into a new project to better facilitate group work. Pumped to try it out Friday! #visiblelearning @ Shawnee Mission Northwest instagram.com/p/B7pESm3JMQi/…

We aren't waiting to model math at the end of our unit. We are working in groups to visualize what this math is doing in the world around us while also practicing our skills. @ Shawnee Mission Northwest instagram.com/p/B7EumiVJApB/…

β€œA New Definition of #Rigor. Rigor doesn't simply mean giving students more or harder work. Instead, it's the result of work that challenges students' thinking in new and interesting ways.”
This @edutopia article describes rigor as a way of challenging students in new ways - diversify their thinking. Rigor is NOT simply more and harder work!! edutopia.org/blog/a-new-defi… #HackLearning

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows? Here is some research for you "there is no average time to learn something" and each kid isn't the same so why act like it
