TEACHERS who are forced to do all your work online! I’ve got 50 more Surface Laptops to give away to any educators who need a new device. Please tag your favourite teachers and I’ll pick 50 at random. PS- Teachers, you’re allowed to be your own favourite and tag yourself! 🙌🏾

We still have advisory and SEL activities for our online curriculum. Our chance to get a pulse on what our students are feeling.
Schools are not just about feeding and educating children. Schools are about - sense of community relationships,emotions, acceptance, interactions,support systems,friendships,laughter, love and a safe place. #nutsandbolts2020 @AMLE @KimCamp4Kids @DrDebbieSilver

Part 1 – A major goal of a modern education is to prepare students to be able to APPLY their learning to new situations, not simply “cover” a long list of discrete grade-level standards. Accordingly, teachers should think of their job as like a athletic coach. ....

Yes it is what I signed up for....and I wouldn’t change that! I will continue to push through!
When you find yourself saying “This is not what I signed up for...” remember this...yes it is, you just didn’t realize it was a part of what you signed up for. Push through the struggles and focus on the students...the true thing you signed up for.

Great ideas!
I want to start our first week of 8th grade with a "math in the news" activity. I'm thinking about the mens/womens soccer salaries, Fortnite winner (hours played & winnings), top grossing summer movies, etc. Anyone have any other ideas??

Optimism and laughter is the key...especially for middle school!
Being ready to Lead means understanding the age group you work with, having Deliberate Optimism, and making sure you laugh 5 times a day. #chooseoptimism

Well said.
One area of deep equity work is to move all of us from trauma informed to trauma sensitive to trauma responsive to schools, districts, and city agencies as healing & growth centers, prioritizing those historically underserved. That’s equity.
