Celebrating Texas Public School week and all that HCISD offers our students & community at Vernon Middle School, the Showplace of the Valley! @HcisdVernonMS #HCISDproud #ExperienceHCISD

A school superintendent said something profound in his address cancelling school for the next 3 weeks. He said: 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....

When I get nervous on a plane, I always look to see if the flight attendants look anxious. If they are good, them I am good. Our students and children are looking to us for the same reassurance right now. What is your behavior telling them?

As schools try to provide instruction during school closures, what is WORKING? I would like to share the best solutions out there, especially from schools that (1) have already been through some trial and error, and (2) serve economically diverse populations.

Cult of Pedagogy I was a virtual teacher for 4 years and have lots of tips and trips on my blog ASapforClassroomSanity.com. But the basics are - be flexible, make how to recordings, and keep consistency-message/call/support! I am here to help! #distancelearning #strongertogether

Cult of Pedagogy All Ts in a school need to be in sync. Seeing families overwhelmed w/ secondary students who have 7 Ts all doing something different, using diff platforms, diff expectations, etc.This is in the name of teacher choice but causes stress.Systems have to be streamlined.

That’s something to think about!

Remember when they said we need state tests & report cards because otherwise teachers & principals would slack off? Well, testing & state report cards are canceled and all I see are teachers & principals working harder than ever before. Let’s trust our professionals.

We celebrate and recognize our @GutierrezMS3205 Secretaries for all they do! #GutierrezMiddleSchoolofArtsandScience #hcisdproud

Over the course of the last two weeks, our Vernon MS World Languages Academy students worked in teams to strategically think, plan and bring to life their very own food truck proposal. Congratulations to all for the awesome presentations! #HCISDproud #foodtruckwars HCISD C&I

Heartbreaking video of man confronting police in Uvalde: “Right there! There’s my great-granddaughter! Where were you when they were calling for your help? And you policemen did nothing! Put me in jail, kill me, do whatever you want!”

It’s time to network! The more Carnegie Learning peeps you know, the betta’! “Ask for help not because you’re weak, but because you want to remain strong.” #longlivemath Vernon MS World Languages Academy HCISD HCISD C&I

The 1st week of school is definitely the best time to set the tone for the rest of the school year. For me, it’s about establishing the expectations of our Math Classroom Community. The 31-derful was perfect for day 2. Vernon MS World Languages Academy HCISD C&I

Time to build some #geometricshapes and provide a convincing argument that our shape satisfies its defined characteristics. The #square was easy but what about the #squarepyramid? #teamwork at play! Vernon MS World Languages Academy HCISD C&I #mathisfun

Looking forward to a day of RBIS learning. Our focus today…best practices in mathematics instruction. engage2learn HCISD C&I @TheMraHillarg Tanya L. Garza
