“We were learning.” #Project180

Dan Thompson and I are lucky to work with such an incredible team! Proud of their work and everything they do for our learners! #BMSPride

Every kid the star of their story. So lucky are we to be a part of their cast. Even if it’s only a bit part. Teachers live blessed lives. #HumbleHumanHelpers

So proud to be apart of this team supporting a great cause! Another polar plunge in the books! #WeAre192 #BMSPride Dan Thompson

Taking time to have some fun and continue to build community within our team yesterday. Love working with our team Boeckman MS Joe Sage

Maybe instead of proficiency scales we should present support scales. "This is how I will support you." vs. "This is how I will grade you." The scale would define the teaching that supports the learning. We are supporters, not graders. Different has to be different.

Traditional. Standards-Based. Gradeless. All can be used helpfully or harmfully. Grading is not the conversation. Learning is the conversation. #Project180

Content review can be ENGAGING and FUN 🤩 “Boom 💥 Clap 👏 GRAB!” Gamify your content review to enhance student engagement. -Ask a question. -Student groups answer together. -Use a point system. Directions in video 🎥 Have fun 🤩 and share with your teachers and school.

Love collaborating with this team to meet the needs of our learning community! Joe Sage happy principal appreciation day. You are a great leader and mentor.

Not outfits you will see either of us wear often around BMS! It was a great end of the year! #BMSPride #WeAre192 Dan Thompson

🙌 Inclusion means #ALL belong. ALL learn. ALL succeed. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Instead of, “Is he passing?” Let’s try, “Is he learning?” Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on. Let’s move on. We can do better. #Project180

We get it wrong in our work. It’s not high expectations for ALL. It’s high expectations for EACH. Not to where all should be, but from where each is. A long ago former student reminded me of this last night. Each can only learn from where they are. #Project180

Love this! I think the key to doing this is to relentlessly praise the positives!

“Education isn’t about getting kids to pass a test, The real goal ❤️ is to build a LOVE of learning.” This 🙌❤️

This simple yet powerful strategy encourages *all* students to participate. We give it two thumbs up! 👍👍

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.
