" Not to grade them. No, I read them to see how I am doing. Where am I failing? What don’t they understand? Why do they give wrong answers?" W. Edwards Deming quotes.deming.org/authors/W._Edw…

When people don't understand what it means to teach second grade and I'm like: I get to give them a safe space where they feel free to say things like "louder voices are harder to hear" when reflecting on a team build challenge using a Plus/Delta. 🎤 #MicDrop #storyofmason #1LISD

It's the COOLEST!!!

Such a joy to hear students are checking out my book! 😍

At today's faculty meeting we had teacher voice & teacher choice! Teachers who attended summer learning workshops shared with staff that chose their quick session! We are keeping #continuousimprovement alive at Akin Elementary after sharing about the David Langford training!

Makes my heart sing. Hope it sparks some creativity for the littlest QUESTers!

What a great idea!!! I’ll let my brain incubate on it for a bit! Thanks, Kellie.

👏 👏 👏 This year is my first year where the only marks on my students papers are feedback related. C=correct PC=partially correct or NY=not yet. No grades anymore and my students ownership of their learning has skyrocketed.

Bringing some CI tools into the classroom! #mycpms
