Maybe holding schools accountable for attendance and attendance awards aren't good ideas? 🤔 theatlantic.com/family/archive…

We have lost so much instructional time this year, but yes, let’s set aside several weeks for state testing.

So we're still having standardized tests with some schools face-to-face, some hybrid, some remote, and all students, educators, and families experiencing a pandemic. The results of the tests will surely be very useful and worth it. 😬

State tests are going to tell us that despite our best efforts, and due to variables beyond our control, students will score lower than in a regular school year. Just saved everyone many hours of time and billions of dollars. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Ummm.... 🤔

This shouldn’t be happening. Making kids read books based on a Lexile score is TRASH. Happy to discuss this with anyone in a completely irrational way, preferably in a parking lot. 😡💪🏻

Friendly FNL reminder. #FNLStrong

I think you’ll make more progress with students when you’re trying to build on their strengths instead of just trying to fix their weaknesses.

We can't add responsibilities to people and give them self-care tips to manage it. We need to take responsibilities off of their plates to make room for self-care.

While teaching is probably the most important job, we have to recognize that it is a job and not a lifestyle. Teachers need balance.
