Very insightful. I don’t have an inner city population, but some of my kids have responses much like the children described here. I don’t want to forget that my message isn’t always received the way I intend. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sin…

Did you hear??? Lina finished IReady! Lina is a 6th grader who has finished 86 lessons since August, working diligently through 7th and 8th grade material that she’s never learned before! Way to go, Lina!!

Inside recess is the best!! Look at these kids building and playing together!

I have loved being with these wonderful kids in our IReady Profile Group!! We celebrated our last day together until after our winter screener! ❤️❤️

Thank you@CurriculumAssociates for helping us celebrate Lina’s success! It is inspirational for our students to celebrate excellence!

He finished!!! This kid has worked his tail off to work through every IReady lesson assigned to him - over 80 lessons! Way to go, Jesus!

I’m so impressed with my kids! Many are using inside recess to work on their number project. You should hear them helping each other with technology questions! I love seeing students work hard to learn!

Thank you Nearpod for the rescue membership! I hope this will increase engagement while we try out distance learning!!

There's no state mandated testing. This doesn't mean we overload younger students to the point that they and/or parents are stressed out. It's not about outdoing others virtually. Relationships before Rigor Grace before Grades Patience before Programs Love before Lessons

Most students cannot independently do work all day in a classroom with structure & teacher support. Asking students to do even close to as much work at home as they do in school is unrealistic, unreasonable, & can cause even more stress during uncertain times. #remotelearning

We shouldn't be trying to replicate a school day at home. We are not online schools. Our parents aren't homeschool teachers. We need to be there for kids in the best way we can while not adding additional stress to families. #QuaranTeaching

It’s better to feel uncomfortable pushing for better than feel comfortable setting for less.

“Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.” - Neila A. Connors

As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole? Teachers' emotional struggles have a direct influence on their interactions with students. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help students!
