Today is #NationalSTEMDay. ⚛️ Science, technology, engineering, and math are everywhere. STEM skills are critical for the jobs of today — and even more critical for the jobs of tomorrow. Through my #PAsmart initiative, PA has become a national leader in STEM education.

“A 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.”

Use formative assessments to guide teaching and learning...

Each person in your school contributes to the culture of your school. School culture is built on the actions and interactions of the people. You make your school stronger by adding value to others and by making others feel valued.

A school Superintendent said something profound in his address cancelling school for the next 3 weeks. “In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.” Hear those words my friends.

Hey teachers friends--don't feel pressure to use all the "new free tools" you may be seeing online. Stick to 2 or 3 things you know & feel comfortable with and go from there. You have time to learn & grow as time goes on. Start small, keep it simple, you got this. #COVID19

All of the Hempfield SD teachers driving through our neighborhood waving to students makes me happy in the midst of our quarantine :) Way to go!!

My favorite email to get from students is “I know my work is late, but I was wondering if I can still turn it in?” Yes! Absolutely! I don’t care when the learning occurs, I just love that students are still want to learn. Learning can never be “late” in my classroom.

To close the achievement gap we have to close the relationship gap. The single greatest gift we can give a child is not more tests or standards; it’s a relationship with an adult who believes with relentless tenacity in their ability to succeed. #BreakingBold #ThursdayThoughts
