I’m not anti-tech. Just anti- mindless tech. If we’re going to use it, make sure it has a purpose.

Clarity in learning objectives isn't about restricting autonomy; it's about clarifying the destination so students can learn how to make choices to get them to a common goal.

Learner agency isn't just about giving students choices; it's about fostering a culture where students are actively involved in their own learning, lightening the load for teachers. This means we have to structure choice for learners and put boundaries around it.

Effective assessment isn't about measuring intelligence; it's about fostering a growth mindset and helping students see pathways to success in the classroom. Quality assessments helps us know learners--and it helps learners know themselves.

Student agency isn't a trend; it's a fundamental shift in the way we think about teaching, benefiting teachers AND learners. We can #MakeTeachingSustainable through agency because it requires kids to share the energy demands of learning with teachers.

Empowering students to make choices in their learning journey not only lightens the load for teachers but also fosters a sense of ownership and engagement in students. This is #SustainableTeaching because it's good for kids AND for teachers.

Student agency in the classroom transforms teaching from a one-way street to a collaborative journey where teachers and students co-create knowledge. That word 'co-create' is critical: they're not doing it entirely on their own, but they're given a voice in the process.

When students have agency, they become active participants in their learning journey, relieving teachers of the burden of being the sole source of knowledge. Teachers never were the sole sources of knowledge anyway; we were just made to believe we needed to be.

Standards-based education isn't about standardizing minds; it's about creating clarity around learning outcomes so as many students as possible can be successful in school and beyond.

SustainableTeaching promotes minimalism in planning and preparation while maximizing student engagement and growth. When we partner with kids and give them choices within a minimalist curriculum, we #MakeTeachingSustainable by sharing in the energy demands of learning.

Clarity in learning targets means students know exactly what's expected of them and can take ownership of their learning. #ReclaimingPL

Learning targets should do more than hang on the wall—they should empower students to master specific skills and concepts. #MakeTeachingSustainable

Teaching becomes a collaborative endeavor when students have agency, creating a dynamic where both teachers and learners grow together. #MakeTeachingSustainable
