I am struggling to teach using a model when 1/4-1/3ish of my class is away each day. Students can’t learn from the room when they’re not in the room.

the sip of water.

the calm and dismissive way in which she answered the question.

and then her calling out why he asked her—to distract her. will he ask the iowa coach the same question? nope. she knows it. we all know it.

Jamboard's sun is setting. Every time I create a new one, I feel that it's more lost time for future me. Where do we go from here?

Many pro-direct instruction folks are using a recent article from BNN as evidence against inquiry-based learning, thinking classrooms, etc.

I respect these people as educators who, like me, want what's best for students.

Yesterday, a colleague who went down to working part time this semester said “I get all my work done at school now and can actually decompress at home. I now have the time to think about how stressed I was”. We’re too stressed to think about how stressed we are

“Disruptive and rude kids” 😳 maybe we need to build a space where each student can learn, and a quiet class isn’t always it. A time and a place.
A quote that has stuck with me for so long: The one doing the talking is the one doing the learning.

Why have a reporting feature if this is the response? What kind of statements need to be made for action? I don’t want to find out

I can’t believe I only started using ratio tables recently and I will never go back. This was a warm up I did in and the students were crushing it

Friday hot take: I don’t think class median should be included on report cards

Education should be an equalizer. This leans too much towards competition

One of the best Google Drive organization hacks I’ve learned is to name your most used/important folders with a symbol at the beginning so they appear at the top of your list
