Thank you Dr. Rick Rigsby for your inspiring message today.  Ask yourself every night… How am I living?  The goal every day is to show up and be your absolute best!  Be committed to making an impact & let your life impact others.   @sanAngeloISD #differencemaker

There is no such thing as a boring subject- just a boring teacher. (Don’t get mad- get inspired!) Bring the subject to life. Show up every day committed to excellence. Give your absolute all. Be a decent human being and truly commit to the future of the USA! San Angelo ISD

So great to see so many dads and important adults showing up for their kids at Bradford Elementary tonight! ⁦San Angelo ISD⁩

If I had one tip for any educator at any grade level of any subject, it would be this. Incorporate success criteria into every thing you do everyday in class. Turn the learning back over to the learners. Put scaffolds in place between levels. This will change your room

If any teachers get that "lesson designer" block when it comes to creating Success Criteria & possible scaffolds & extensions.... Try out this FREE GPT: chatgpt.com/g/g-aCTXvbK8O-… It will give HOURS back to you inside & outside of the classroom!

For Tier 1 to be what it should be, we must not lower the bar. Our job in Tier 1 is to set the bar, make learners aware of the bar & what it takes to reach it, & then lift ALL learners to the bar. Lowering anything amounts to nothing. We raise the learners up instead.

In the response to the Success Criteria post from earlier this week, let me share the FREE GPT tool that will assist teachers in creating them for any grade level or learner task. Try it out & let me know any feedback! chatgpt.com/g/g-aCTXvbK8O-… It even suggests scaffolds!

What's worse for learning? Being absent from school? OR Being bored at school? Both have an effect size of -0.46 or a over a year's worth of lost learning potential This means we need to place as much urgency on getting learners engaged as we do getting them to school

Assessment does not mean test. Assessment does not mean test. Assessment does not mean test. Assess means "to sit beside." Assessment is about our job in knowing where kids are, in communicating where they need to go, & in providing actionable steps to get there.

Friday Challenge Adults in School: 1. Make sure the most "challenging" kids you have know you are glad to see them today 2. Ask them about their weekend plans 3. Tell them about yours This 2 min convo might just help change them from challenging to cherished if you keep at it.

Frameworks lessen cognitive load for our learners by providing a predictable learning environment. This packs in a collective total of over 14 years' learning potential effect sizes while also giving teachers creativity & autonomy in the classroom. Eventually became a book.

Just a reminder: Who shows up IS in OUR control.

Some people lift the room up the moment they walk in. Others drain the energy - the second they speak. You decide which one you are. BE A FOUNTAIN, NOT A DRAIN⬇️
